A1Up RetroPie front control panel

[Working on it]

This is a custom cabinet and Raspberry Pie control panel for the Arcade1UP first and second-gen cabinets. It is intended to mount on the J-panel (the angled panel on the front, dircetly below the control panel.

I use an ATX power supply for all internal power - it is switched on and off from this front panel exactly like a computer's on/off switch. A Raspberry Pi is used to run all the games - one of the buttons on the front panel is a safe-shutdown button for the Pi. All of the buttons on the front panel are illuminated when on. The arcade buttons are also illuminated and controlled by a wireless LED controller. (They can flash in patterns in attract mode, but I find a dim illumination better for game play.) There's also a microSD card slot - an extension cable plugged into my Raspi's uSD slot.

I've shoe-horned in a common small, inexpensive amplifier and used its face plate on the panel.

Originally, I had the this panel flush to the surface of the J-p
