      I'm slowly getting parts together for my first bartop.
      Plans & parts:

      • iPad 1 display with driver board. Rpi connected via HDMI link text ordered & received
      • Sanwa JLF joystick & 6 buttons (plus coin & select & etc.) ordered
      • Zero delay encoder ordered
      • Rpi 3 order next
      • .....

      I'll try to make two single player mini bartops. They are linkable so you can play 2 player games. I just have to try how well the wifi link works or use wired linking with HDMI and other cable for controls (USB?)
      I would like the buttons to light up. Then you easily see which buttons are active for the current game. I have to research options for driving the leds.

      Soldering & programming is no problem for me. Retropie is new for me but I have made low level programming for android. My daily work is HW design engineer.
