I used this to get my feet wet with learning how micro-switches/joysticks work mostly and wiring and soldering everything, and how to fix mistakes. You can find info about the same kit here. Would totally recommend it to someone wanting a fun DIY project, or even something to build with their kids in a weekend. Honestly it’s a GREAT kit and I loved building it. RetroPies are okay, but not for meĪ few years back I bought and built a kit from RetroBuiltGames, it’s a RetroPie kit and uses a Raspberry Pi to play ROMs/Emulators with an EmulationStation frontend. At first I just wanted to make a MAME setup cause I’m a big fan of emulation as a way of preservation, but as I got more into collecting physical games for consoles, I wanted to have a way to play REAL hardware if I could, plus I don’t like the idea of input lag/other stuff that comes with emulating. For a long time I’ve been obsessed with the idea of making my own arcade cabinet, looking at plans/ learning about JAMMA, and getting a sense of what I’d actually need to do it.
