Classic Bar Top Arcade
-
I have always wanted to own my own arcade. I have been playing around with the Raspberry Pi since the first model came out back in 2012. Once I saw the performance of the pi 2, I knew it was time to build a custom arcade. I started this project in July of 2015 and finished this build back in November 2015, but have not had a chance to put together an article. I will soon be upgrading the pi in my arcade to the Raspberry pi 3.
I had based my build off of the following article. I chose that article because it was one of the best 2 player setups I had seen. Below is a link to my full project where I am updating the page as I go along. I also have all my pictures posted there. Let me know if you have any questions!

Very nice build! I like the inclusion of the ibuffalo snes pads, so you can get that authentic console gaming experience ;-)

Very nice! I'm building a bartop arcade as well based on the same instructable article you referenced. I still have a lot of parts left to get. I just recently got my joysticks/buttons.

@BenWlson Nice what buttons did you get? ? yeah take your time. I was to excited to build it and wish i took my time so I could of changed a few things.

I got Sanwa joysticks and buttons, with a couple happ buttons for the player/coin functions.
