If you want a fun emulator project, try building a RetroPie arcade. I just finished one with my son for about $150, including the raspberry pie, the joysticks and buttons Amazon for $35), the wood for the enclosure and a super cheap screen and speakers.
I’ve found so many fun arcade games that I never had a chance to play in a real arcade as well as galaga and other classics. Highly recommend!
- tarek_computer 6y agoThat is great. Any good tips on the wood part ?
- madengr 6y agoIf you don’t have tools or desire for serious woodworking, you can get a nice cabinet here: https://www.monsterarcades.com/bartop-arcade-diy-kits https://www.monsterarcades.com/bartop-arcade-diy-kits I bought a full size one (furniture grade plywood) and stained it. Looks like a nice piece of furniture.
- alasdair_ 6y agoWe used 3/4 inch MDF (which is basically just sawdust and glue) along with a few 2X4’s. A regular saw works but I borrowed a jigsaw to make things easier. You will need a drill with a 1 inch wood bit to make the holes for the buttons. Hope that helps!
- tarek_computer 6y agoGreat. Thank you!
