Arcade on wheels..
-
Hello Retropeeps,
Just wanted to show off my project...still working on it... but I got most of the Arcade games working after a lot of reading for all the screen resolution adjustments.
Horizontal and Vertical games.
60 inch Tv 4k
Ergotron Neo-Flex Ultra Heavy Duty Mobile MediaCenter Stand
Adjustable mobile Tv stand with manual horizontal and vertical adjustment.
Raspberry with Retropie
USB Bluetooth adaptor
2 PS3 Wireless Controllers
PS4 Pro 4K
Apple Tv
Cinemate GS2 Bose SpeakersShare your project and some ideas.

All you need is a giant arcade cab on wheels and your life will be complete

@herb_fargus lol, I like the wireless remotes.

Great idea and build. In addition, you could cover it with a one-sided mirror so it looks like a hall mirror when it's turned off. :)

@und3r6r0und Very cool- I know I’ve played a game too much if I can recognise it from just the boot up! Game on sir:)

Looking very nice.
Are you rotating the monitor for the horizontal games? or did you adjust the resolution to fit on the vertical screen? I wasn't sure if the stand had an easy rotation option to flip back and forth.
Second question; how stable is that wheel base for you? It looks rather close, but I do see you have tile floors so pushing on carpet may not be an issue. I always worry about things toppling.

Yes I rotate the TV manually. it's super easy to rotate.
Yes, I adjusted the games to either run vertical or horizontal, depending on how they were design. I have a game.zip.cfg for each game so they can run automatically horizontal or vertical, I also keep them separated by creating 2 different folders.
The base is a Ergotron Neo-Flex Ultra Heavy Duty Mobile MediaCenter Stand, very strong with great wheels. I usually take it out to the drive way at night and play games out there. =)
I hope this answer your questions.

That would look very nice, but I don't know if I can deal with all the glare it will produce.
