so i am building a few mods at the same time right now this one was one that i just decided to do from the scrap wood left from other projects.i had a spare raspberry pi lying around aswell as a lcd from a old dvd player and a joystick and a few buttons ledt over from my last build.so i am making a micro arcade machine out of it here are a few pics so far.

started the artwork on the cab still have to clear coat wet sand and wax it to a good shine but its coming along great.i went with a comic book classic arcade theme here are a few pics of it before clear coat.

got the control panel finished and test fitted next ill start the clear coat on the cab and cut the plexiglass for the marquee and screen.

well i got the screen installed and tested now i have to figure out how to wire the buttons to the raspberry pi if anyone has a tut would be great.but so far so good.

All done i used a ps3 controller and padhacked it to work for the contoller and installed white led strip for the marquee.came out pretty nice and i just sold it earlier today the customer was very happy with it.all in all a fun project played with it for a few hours before the customer came to get it.runs as good as my full size cabmight build one more soon.in the end i sold it for 300 so that should help fund my next project.see the finial pics and demo in the video link.and please like and subscribe to my youtube page thanks guys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36xI8F03Ypo
