At least twice a month I go on craigslist looking for a decent arcade machine. It's the one thing I feel is really missing from my game collection.
Looking around for machines brought me to a few tutorials online on how to make your own retro arcade machine. This looks like a great option considering that what I really want is a classic street fighter 2 machine or a King of Fighters machine.
This seems like an easy/fun project. If and when I decide to actually buy the parts and build one I'll update the thread.
In the meantime I was wondering if anyone has an arcade machine or experience with Raspberry Pi 3.
Tabletop Arcade Build
Raspberry Pi 3 $35.99
2 Joysticks, Control Board, 20 Buttons $72.99
24" Monitor $100
MDF Board 8' $35
USB Speakers $16
20' T-Molding $20.00
Total $279.98
This is my material list so far. Got pricing from Bestbuy, Home Depot, and Amazon.
