Raspberry Pi Arcade Table project

It looks well made. You can play the games easily enough on modest emulators but that cabinet looks fantastic.

For future reference Muttley, you can delete everything after the first question mark and the link still works: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-3inch-Mini-Portable-Handheld-Arcade-Retro-Classic-Game-Console-3000-Games-8Bit/283836491014

That console does look cute, but seeing as it's being shipped from China we may be out of lockdown before it gets here :-)

I'm going to start a new project. A smaller arcade cabinet with one joystick and buttons but with ports to add joypads for multiplayers and a 7 inch or 10 inch screen. Getting all the bits together.

Will do. Hope to put some pics up as I progress. If anybody wants to do something similar, happy to help/advise.

i am toying with the idea as i have the pi with retropie installed but want something a bit sexier than a small black box

Playing the games using arcade joysticks and buttons adds a level. Another option is to build a box with joysticks that connects to your TV.

Looking good

This is a small cabinet with a 7 inch screen. Needs a bit more assembly but works fine and has a joystick port for two player games.
