Built a Tiny Arcade Cabinet

Post by RedPixel » Tue Nov 14, 2017 1:11 am

Last weekend I have been DIY-ing with some colleagues. Learning from my earlier mistakes trying to build a small arcade cabinet, I made this tiny arcade cabinet:

It is 83mm high, and actually works! It features a 128x128 pixel screen, a 5-way switch, 6 buttons, running RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi zero.

Small video clips (of the lasercutting) and some more pictures on my blog: https://pixel.red/project/tiny-arcade/

That's looking sweet man! All you need is a little Topper for your joystick

I made this for my TinyPi, it might be a starting point for you. It is super tiny though, so you need a good precise printer
