I had a bunch of junk lying around the house... an old monitor, and an old Raspberry Pi computer...

It struck me one day when at a pub... "I should make an arcade machine!"... a certain company kindly donated some buttons and joysticks, and I set about building an arcade machine and detailing how I bodged it all together, including a few top tips (like buy USB powered speakers and rip them apart for the sound system)... I have included detailed photos and videos of how this all works, and a good description so you can see how much effort this takes and establish if you want to have a go yourself!!

Here is a 15 min video running through the start and finish of the entire project at high speed to give you a quick summary. There is also a review and comparison at the end to help you see if its worth building your own! Please read on for more information...
