Okay, that thing's really freakin' sweet. I'm a sucker for anything arcade-y with microswitched joysticks/buttons. And wooden stuff. There really is no limit to the Raspberry Pi...My only gripe is the landscape orientation of the screen. I LOVE vertical shooters, and seeing them in landscape is just a pain to my eyes...

Indeed, I meant to mention that. Depends on the types of games you're looking to play the most I guess!

I liked your ingenuity with your spinning CD tower in order to provide that lovely 360-degree view of the Raspberry Pi. :D haha

Haha. Yeah I was looking into turntables for spinning items around the other day, and I was like "hey, wait"...

You should've shatnered the controller panel.

This device use RetroArch (frontend + emulator cores) for emulation. RetroArch is fantastic, however, it has several MAME cores (v0.37b5, 0.78, latest one). The reason MAME 0.78 is used is simply because it's the last version before the MAME team decided to focus on accuracy and therefore making MAME a lot slower on weak machines.

Looks like a very well considered build. I like it. Icing on the cake would be a not-wide screen, but I suppose that's a limitation of price and availability these days. Fun! :)

Porta Pi? As in a porta-potty? Ugh... That little arcade system looks pretty cool, though. Probably not for someone who prefers racing games like me, but still.

Awesome stuff :) $390 is quite a steep price though. However fiddling around with a Raspberry Pi seems like fun to me. Buying one right now.

I think the buttons are pretty average, just find the right one in the right store. Pretty hard to find the nice ones if they always have the bullshit but with about 100 bucks are easy to find. Or maybe you find them just by accident on another machine. But the Joystick is a thing I never saw.^^ Well at least it is not like some machines which have button and joystick configuration like one of those Tiger Games we never had.

Are there also neo geo games? Because with neo geo games you could put that anywhere. Sorry for all the good old arcade I love the neo geo games.

It uses RetroPie which uses RetroArch, yes. This was using used MAME v0.37b5, since that's what the version this build of RetroPie comes with. <a href="http://blog.petrockblock.com/retropie/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://blog.petrockblock.com/retropie/</a>

Welp I just discovered my next vacation project.

This is awesome. I am making my own one, using an old PlayStation shell. The annoying thing is they bought out the B Plus 2 weeks after I bought the B.
