Description

PDF

Here we have an approximate ¼ scale Arcade Cabinet powered by Raspberry Pi 3B+ or 4B. This model will give you all the components to build your own. This is a remix of the one by Crashlander which is a fantastic design. I have added variations, options and improvements to further advance the model.

NB what you use for the software is entirely your choice and I do not venture much into getting that up and running in this build. There are 100's of tutorials for Retropie, Batocera etc so Google is your friend.

One of my favourite arcade games is Captain Commando so I decided to base my cabinet on that game. I have included rough templates for the decals and also a PDF build guide in the Other Files section

Please also note this can be quite an advanced challenging and costly build and may require some “on the fly” modification. I managed to build mine with minimal soldering but it is possible to do it without any soldering at all.

Dimensions 46 cm tall by 17 cm deep by 17 cm wide

Enjoy.
