Portable Arcade
-
Just thought I’d post my portable mini arcade box I made last week. I actually purchased a Shadow Box Frame that was 11x11x4.5” which worked out perfectly. Got some birchwood to replace the glass for the top and mount the actual arcade controls. The inside holds everything I need such as the power cable, usb extension cable, hdmi extension cable, PS3/4 controller, mini wireless keyboard. With all the different accessories I can either just plug the arcade box into the pi via USB if it’s sitting out on my tv stand, or if the pi is inside the box I can use the HDMI extension cable and run the power adapter inside to it through the front hole. This makes it extremely portable as all you need is the box and a TV to plug it into since all accessories are in the box. As you can see in the pics I have my PS3, PS4, and Wii remotes wirelessly synced to it so if you include the arcade controls you could be utilizing 4 players. Perfect for a projector. Also is an example of the pi in the box and just running the HDMI extension cable and power adapter out the hole in the front to play games. Had a stand up MAME arcade cabinet couple years ago but moved to an apartment and really not ideal for the space...or the noise. This works out pretty well.
