Turning a PC into an arcade game machine

Back in 2011 I visited an arcade in Japan that was like a full simulator. They called it Gundam pod. Inside the only thing running it is a PC.

I read a blog for a man had connected a Nintendo DS with a Nintendo DS version of the game to his PC hooked up 2 joysticks and foot pedals and this was all customize. Had a customize chair and a customize projector screen with the projector. I asked the guy how he did it, he said he has a degree in electronics. He made his own board and wired everything.

I would like to know how I can put together my own set up together.
