DIY RetroPie Arcade Machine

Post by DubiousEngineering » Thu Feb 01, 2018 9:25 am

Well... Mr Wermy inspired me to get stuck in and make a desktop arcade machine out of junk I had kicking around the house,,,, ok, so a spent a few quid, but not much... video of the build is below for those that have 10 mins to spare.

Should I hand paint it or spray paint it? ... thoughts? ... Black?

I’m almost done, I have to paint or vinyl it and install an amp and speakers... but we’re nearly there!

Anyone know why I’m loosing my marked favourites once I power down? ... I guess this is a question for the RetroPie forum, but perhaps someone here has had experience!

Nice! I like that it's setup for 2 player controls - I'd like to put one together like that.

Also I edited your post to fix the youtube tag. :)
