Intructables user jackandwho has created an awesome Raspberry Pi Bartop Arcade and kindly published everything you need to know over on the Instructables website to make your very own.
The retro styled Raspberry Pi Bartop Arcade has been created using a modified Icade Cabinet that is available to purchase from Amazon for around £29.99.
A Raspberry Pi 2 provides the power and a 8″ 4:3 LCD screen and HDMI board has been fitted to offer a good sized gaming display. Intructables user jackandwho explains:
“Approaching” middle age, wanting an excuse to play with a Raspberry Pi, and having great memories of 80s games (mainly spectrum, sega master system, neo geo, and Atari ST) i decided to build a mini arcade machine / retro emulator.
Hopefully some of the things i learnt and successes (as well as mistakes) i made along the way will help others as others helped me.”
