You'll probably need to get a different screen at the minimum, as those usually use something proprietary and you won't see drivers readily available. It's tough to gauge how much room is inside the case, but it might work. PSPs have been modded before, and this is essentially a knock-off of that.

@UP4IT awesome work dude

For those who may be interested what the overlay is based on:

Should be "pulstar_udb-ovl.png".

now fixed!

@XVO That's actually not too terrible since it comes with controllers (assuming they work well).

o switch....

I'm not sure if tapes in c-64 work the same as multi disk games on CD based systems, but i set it up using these functions in the retroarch.cfg...

input_disk_eject_toggle =
input_disk_next =
input_disk_prev =

On cd based games, you hit the eject button to open the virtual tray first, then the next or prev button to switch disk, then the eject button again to close the virtual tray.

You would need to have your game setup as a .m3u playlist (or your file as a .pbp for playstation) so retroarch will know that it is a multidisk game. This may work for c-64 multi tape games, assuming that c-64 is a libretro based emulator.

Here is an explanation of .m3u setup
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/1182

Of course, i really don't have any experience with c-64, so take all of this as speculation.

its funny you mention having to walk across the room, I found that having to press a button on the console also stopped me switching games as often, also having only one system on the console meant that I enjoyed playing that system more than just flicking through.

Try theming the Carousel.

@pindapoe Glad to hear that :)
I just changed a name and added the game informations (took some time)... No big deal ;-)
If you want to change them, I added a "guide"

Good project, just dig in! its very fulfilling when it comes together.
Heres a pic of my half cab / wall-cade, inspired by the same polycade you linked.
Its runs a raspberry 3b with AM, generic pc speakers, a hdmi 19" screen, usb led-lights and double dragonrise usb-pcb´s.
I made the plans in Illustrator and built it at work with our cnc-table.
really only got two good tips;

buy a multi outlet with a couple usb sockets. I draw the power to the lights and the speakers from there, so the raspberry dosent overcook. If youre green on linux/mame etc; Read the Retropie-wikis, watch lots of youtube! :)

I was lucky enough to get one of those mini genesis hubs from shirtpunch before they sold out.
As for the select button, can you not map select to two impossible key presses (ie up+down) and solder a tiny button to the traces with diodes?

@theplayerone i have two of the raphnet adapters. They work great for me. Sorry you are having an issue with it.
