This is part 1 of a series in which I ’ll be building a Raspberry Pi-powered mini arcade cabinet. Check back here for a link to part 2 when I have written it.
I ordered my Raspberry Pi a few months ago, and it’s been sitting on my desk pretty much collecting dust ever since. I had some vague ideas about using it with RetroPie to be the brains in some sort of arcade machine. But what sort of arcade machine would that be?
There are some great guides out there for building your own machine from scratch, but as I don’t have access to sophisticated cutting machinery, they seemed a step too far. I also came across some fairly nice looking pre-built kits, but they are all relatively expensive. I’m just after a bit of fun; not a major investment!
