this is a great project for those who want to start working whit a raspberry pi

the design of this project also isn't very difficult you are free to chance the design in any way you like

Supplies

you need:

electronics:

a raspberry pi

a retro arcade game button set

a screen preferably one whit a VGA video output or newer

(if your screen has a different output then the raspberry pie then you will need a connector )

some sort of extension cable so that you can power everything

for the case

a material for the case preferably a soft wood type like mdf

access to a laser cutter

depending on how you connect the peace's of the case you may need some screws

Step 1: Order You Components Firts

first order the electronic components so that you can start working om them whille you need to wait on some other parts

you can find the screen also in second hand shops

while your components are on the way you can start the design of the case for your arcade this is completely up to you how you want to

i put a picter in of the design used in this project

your design properly isn't finished yet because you need the measurements from the buttons to complete the design

setting up the Raspberry pi is quite easy

you

now that you properly have you components you can start getting them to work

in most cases when you ordered the buttons you also received the control boards for them

i put an easy to read and to follow electrical circuit

and send them of to the laser cutter

now that you have everything together you can start on assembly

now your done time to play some games
