Three joysticks plus trackball and monitor/TV size suggestions
-
Hello! First post here and I am trying to figure out something before I go off buying things. I am by no means an expert. My favorite old arcade games are Joust and Gauntlet. Mostly because three people can play at once. It is possible to hook up three joysticks with buttons and a trackball (for other games) to a single raspberry Pi? Its not a must have but it certainly makes a difference for me.
I do plan on fitting this into an arcade cabinet. Likely I will make the controller panel easily removable so I can hook it up to a TV for more console like gaming too. I might just get another Pi We will see. Anyone have any opinions (I know this is really a preference question) on what the sweet spot is for a TV/monitor size?
Thanks and happy gaming!

The Pi can handle it, so long as you have the hardware. This build is a Pi based build and supports 4 players:
