Castlevania on LED Matrix Cube (Cubestlevania?)

Castlevania played on a custom made LED Matrix Cube, complete with infinite scrolling, a motorised base, and bluetooth support.
Building the cube took several days of 3D printing and assembling, and this was the perfect way to show it off.
The NES emulator needed to be modified to support a special scrolling mode so that the game could be wrapped onto the 4 sides of the cube.
Writeup here: www.element14....
It all runs on a Raspberry Pi 4 with bluetooth for the controller and a battery pack inside.

[@stevenaustin4591]

Seriously, I love vids like this and have probably searched for both Castlevania and LED cube (just not together) within the past 6 months and this is the first I've seen of this. Good work!

:(

[@keoni29]

The rotating led cube is cool on its own. The synchronized scrolling with the NES emulator makes it unique. Very nice application!

[@dfbess]

I hate KZbin.. took a year for me to get to see this awesomeness!!

[@woodpecker_4255]

This is awesome

[@Cordis-IV]

[@Andux]

I love it. So ticked off I haven't seen it till now!

[@UndernetSystems]

This is pretty cool but it made me really dizzy

[@NesSumSimpson]

That is pretty cool. I wouldn't be able to play it very long with all the movements.

[@TheZiiFamily]

I await patiently for your return

[@broran_]

[@sforlord604]

Gotta make it into a Borg ship.

[@ThereminHero]

Why didn't I think about that!!?

[@brendaguerra5352]

Just take my damn money

[@eivis13]

3D gaming has gotten a new perspective.

[@smokeynypd]

Just take my money 😐

[@lugui]

now tell me there is a video about the construction of it

[@ThereminHero]

If this reaches 100k views i'll try and make that happen.

[@retrosimon9843]

What if you spin the cube really fast ? 3D effect or something ?

[@ThereminHero]

Hmm maybe. It would look like a sphere

[@ThereminHero]

Actually a cylinder in its current orientation. A sphere if it was on a corner

[@retrosimon9843]

@@ThereminHero Ohh getting it to spin on a corner and have a correct image on it is going to be difficult i imagine. But if timed correctly would produce something interesting i think.

Excuse me?
