I wanted to make a podium style joystick, similar to the Showcase 33 Cabinets that I've seen, so that I could connect it to any display that I liked. I started with a Treyonics Devastator (highly recommended) and built a stand to put it on and place a computer inside. Then I modified the Devastator by adding an extra joystick and some more buttons. The button layout is optimized to play Capcom and Neo-Geo fighters without the need to remap any controls in MAME. Lots of custom decorations. I also added an LED beneath the trackball to make it glow. I named it Superion to continue with the theme of Transformers that combined (like Devastator.) The system is currently connected to a widescreen HDTV.
