Desktop Arcade Machine

The Project

I have been making my raspberry pi powered arcade project for about 8 weeks, it is still not completely finished but it works and i can play games on it. I made it completely from scratch. For the cabinet i made it out of boards of MDF wood, connector blocks & screws. I had some help with cutting the wood and the more tricky bits. The electronic parts i used for it were: A Raspberry Pi 3B+, PiCade xhat board to connect all the inputs like joystick, buttons, speaker. I used a 10 inch screen for my arcade. I also added in a USB strip light for the marquee at the top. It is a multicoloured light but i have set it to purple to match my colour scheme. I used RetroPie as the operating system and then i made a custom theme with help from my parents.
