2 Side panels: The little paper cutout above shows the dimensions of the side pieces.Angled piece above the screen: 3.5"D x 13"W.All are 1/2" MDF except for the screen cutout, which is 1/4" MDF. But here is a list of the pieces and their dimensions. I didn't take any pics of the pieces all cut out, until I screwed them together, unfortunately. The final dimensions are 17.5" H x 14" deep at the bottom, by 13" wide. My plans for the cabinet were based on other designs and my own thoughts about how big it should be. Drill, with various bits, (definintely get a 1-1/8" spade bit for the button holes).Velcro strips with adhesive backing (1" or 2" wide).spring latch to keep the back door shut.A power strip with outlets and USB ports.LED lighting (for the marquee backlight) I used this (Yes, I love Amazon).More quick disconnects, and more M-F jumper wires.Kit contains: 5x Arcade Buttons,1x Joystick, 1x SD Card with Porta Pi, 20x Female quick disconnects, 20x 6-inch M-F Jumper Wires, couple other things not use.Sparkfun Pi RetroCade kit (you don't have to use this, but it was a great place to start for me).power supply for the RPi (use a Canakit, or other 5V, 2.5 amp power supply).Here is the parts list for this project, as I built it. Also, I wanted a standalone arcade cabinet that I could share with my 2 boys, and waste countless hours reliving the glory days of my youth, where I wasted countless hours playing arcade games! The set they sell comes in a cardboard box, and the idea is you cut holes in the box (which is pre-marked for you and comes with a utility knife to do it with) and screw the components into it, connect to a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3, and hook it to your TV via the HDMI cable.īut I got to thinking, 3 buttons (plus a start and select button) are not enough to play some of the fighting games like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. I started out buying the Pi RetroCade set from Sparkfun Electronics, but I soon realized that their bare bones controller was not going to cut it for me! The Sparkfun kit comes with a joystick, 5 buttons, quick disconnects, connector wires, and an SD card loaded with PortaPi Arcade from RetroBuilt Games.
Instructions for building these are all over the Internet and Instructables itself, but I figured I would throw my version into the mix! This Instructable is for a 1-player retro bartop arcade cabinet, based on a Raspberry Pi 3 running RetroPie.
