Pimoroni Picade
-
I built myself a picade last night. These guys really do a good job in making a nice tidy kit. I added the Raspberry Pi 3 and a couple NES games from my collection. I made the mistake of unzipping all my MAME files, so I have some clean up to do there. Using this initial build as a test before I go and convert a whiskey barrel into a cocktail arcade.

Yeh - they are good kits :) nice!

All my photos of this build are at dalling.smugmug.com if you wanted to see the progress along the way. This one is probably a two hour build. I just followed along with their assembly video and paused it each time I had to do something.

@OldDucGuy Awesome, do you mind if I steal those photos for our Edinburgh Retro PC group? (I'll credit you as the author).
I meant to take photos as I constructed my Picade, to put together a step-by-step guide, but when I started I found that Pimoroni's own video tutorial was so good, I didn't think my guide could add anything. I'm regretting that now, it would be nice to have a n initial build record for completeness in my article about subsequent mods.

Feel free to use the photos. I threw a towel down on the table to stop screws and bolts from rolling around. So, I don't really have a blue and white striped table top. lol. I had to pause the video every couple minutes to allow myself to catch up with the video and to take pictures.
