I've tried posting a comment to his newest video twice, and it keeps locking up or something.
I'm trying to extend an invitation to byoac to him. If he signed up over there, I was going to send him a joystick and some buttons to get him started.

Sweet of you. (Yes, I realize that sounds gay). But at his age, I'm not sure sending him electrical components to muck with is a great idea. I say let him work that creativity out thru legos and model airplanes before he messes with electronics.
Maybe not? I don't know....

Kid is interested and shows a desire to put the work in. Why not encourage that? 99% of the other kids his age just whine until their parents buy the ready made products.
Exactly, someone bring him one and i bet he could figure the whole MAME thing. Imagine how happy that kid would be if someone brought him an old cab? lol priceless

Yeah, I guess. I just think there is a little bit more creativity process that he'll go thru as he brainstorms his way thru difficult problems. Simply sending him the gadgets might hinder his ability to wait patiently, troubleshoot, and plan his way to success.
Don't get me wrong, if it were my kid or nephews trying that, I'd help out.

I sent him a message pointing him to byoac, and offered to send him a used joystick and some buttons.

Ah man this is freaking hilarious. Not knocking the kid as he's actually trying to be crafty. But I don't get the painted cardboard underneath the keyboard? Guess he didn't want people to think all he did was put a box with a hole cutout over an lcd monitor. lol
Are you sure that is Endrien?
As I remember, he had at one time had boughten like 4 or 5 cabs that he was going to gut one of them and mame it. In fact he bought a Hang-on I believe and he burned it(literately) and posted the video here.
I don't think this vid is Endrien. I could be wrong though....

I'm sending the kid some parts. Kid lives in the NYC metropolitan area. If anyone is in that area, there's a kid that would probably die if he got to see a real gameroom. Shoot, the kid has probably never seen an honest to goodness classic cabinet in person. It would be awesome if somone local invited the kid and his family over to see real games.

It was a joke. Endrien is older than this kid and he his avatar is a picture of him.

Hey, at least it's better than some of the hellcades I've seen.
Would be cool if he got a real cab, though...

I have a basic keyboard to usb adapter I would kick in to allow him to hook some buttons and joysticks up, but someone would need to help him hook it up.
Two things: 1. If this was my kid, you couldn't slap the smile off my face I would be so proud. The kid is bored, so instead of just playing games he builds a system, and even paints it. That kid is awesome.
2. His parents may react... negatively... if you somehow get ahold of the kid and ask for an address to send free parts to, or invite him over to play games.
Tread lightly./I know, you already thought of that second one.

I told him that if he wanted the parts, he needed to have his parents contact me. He talked with his mom and I am sending the parts to his Uncle's house.

Oh yeah. If anything, ask him for his parent's email address, then shoot them an email explaining that the arcade community would like to donate parts to reward him for being so creative or something. I'd give him some parts if somebody could do some detective work...how did you guys figure out he's in NYC?

I'll get in contact with the parents.
