Raspberrypi Retropi 4 player arcade machine, based off instructables 4-Player-Pedestal-Arcade-Cabinet-for-MAME by "severdhed"

quote [ I had always wanted one of these as a kid and I was like "Hey, can't I make one?" it took forever and it was expensive (I don't know the final tally but way cheaper than buying a completed one) and every time I see it I can't believe I made the flip'n thing. ]

This is kind of an update of mt January 23rd 2017 Retro Pi Two Player Arcade Table

This is a 4 player version. I realized I don't think I posted this project on here.

Enjoy!

Edit: SP if you're still lurking, I did indeed clean the garage.

I added a few bells and whistles to the original instructables though.

I'm drunk enough to say shit that I normally wouldn't, so here goes: "You should have been the one to step up and run this site all along, not steele."

I know I've seen these pics before, but still a good post, re or no re.

The table is excellent. You just need to hire an editor.

I tried doing a few MAME cabinet full-conversions back in the day. The 'day', in this instance being the days of 1.2Ghz AMD Athlon processors and CRT monitors with SCART sockets. Fun, but very frustrating. In retrospect, the technology of the time wasn't up to it.

Are you sure you didn't post this here before?
Mine is a one player bartop. Eventually, I'll make a two player upright and a cocktail.

I might have. I searched for "retropie" and only found my two player IKEA lack TV stand build

That's because you spelled it retropi the first time. I found it by searching for mame. http://sensibleendowment.com/entry.php/9519

Hmm. My son is soon moving to his own home. This would make a kick-ass housewarming present.

That would be really a nice gesture from mookie.

You should check out MC's post above. A smaller footprint might be appreciated in an apartment.

You can totally scale this project down to that size. Ironically his hardware seems more substantial.

Dude had the balls to post on the one syphilitic shit-hole on the internet dying faster than SE. He deserves nothing but your respect.
