The Lilmookie two player RetroPi arcade table build

quote [ Retro Pi Two Player Arcade Table ]

This is my mini project I'm working on while I learn to weld better.

there are a couple good walkthroughs: http://lifehacker.com/how-to-create-the-ultimate-tech... for the general gist and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcsKNryPAzw to see a video. That and my pictures should get you through it. The hardest part so far is setting up the raspberry pie. But that's essentially all you need. You can plug controllers into that. The parts list to get the raspberry pi set up is:

The case: Official Raspberry Pi 3 Case - Red/White Sold by: PHOTOTECH ~$8

The micro SD card: SanDisk Ultra 32GB microSDHC UHS-I Card with Adapter, Grey/Red, Standard Packaging (SDSQUNC-032G-GN6MA)

Sorry my phone is lilmookieesquire on imgur and my computer is lilmookie. I'll try to put up an album in actual order when I pull my head out my tooshie.

edit: I did that for you man. I did it for you.

re-edit: I am not a member of imgur I swear.

Love my retro pi, except I just took one of the off the shelf kits and use my PS4 controller with it.

Fastest thing I've ever built, from unboxing to playing it was maybe an hour?

I also love my retropie. I loaded it with the best NES, SNES, Genesis, 32X, Turbografx-16 and Gameboy Advance games. I got two Buffalo Classic USB Gamepads to use with it.

Thats one of things that stymie me, is the fact that when i see a torrent for roms its every game for that system. I don't want an unwieldy menu to sift through, but i also dont want to miss out on something great. Now Im not asking you to upload a zip, but if you can clue a guy into what you consider the best of I'd appreciate it.

Good job, good presentation.

Is the MAME emulator still a thing or is that oldhat like Jerkcity comics?
lilmookieesquire said @ 6:15am GMT on 24th Jan
I'll let you know :p

(I think it's a thing but it gets wonky on timing for some games)

Nice, I got me a pi-zero and not figured out what I'm going to do with it.
Seneki said @ 9:43am GMT on 24th Jan
A friend at work is making almost the same thing, but not in a coffee table, more of a stand alone rectangular box he can take to anyone's house and plug into their tv.
Also using a Raspberry Pi and a Mame emulator too.
Although, he also currently renovating his house, so I don't like the chance of him getting it finished in 2017... maybe I should hi-jack his side project...
mechanical contrivance said @ 2:58pm GMT on 24th Jan
Do it.
lilmookieesquire said @ 3:42pm GMT on 24th Jan
There are a lot of really good YouTube walk throughs. I've seen the Retro-Pi-Box style online. Totally go for it!

Thanks for this. I needed something grounded and down to earth.

Good to see you are keeping your intrests up. Not sure of the welding referance. Does the project have to do with welding, or is welding another interest and the project just interesting busywork till you achieve the capability?
robotroadkill said @ 1:53am GMT on 25th Jan
I totally guessed ahead of time that your fingers would look like that.
