The Pi-Cade

I present the Pi-Cade: a completely 3D printed arcade cabinet built for the Raspberry Pi 2.

Inspired by the people over at adafruit and their cupcade project (http://www.adafruit.com/product/1783), and the folks over at retrobuiltgames.com (http://www.retrobuiltgames.com/the-build-page/porta-pi-arcade-kit/. I thought the cupcade concept was great, but with a tiny 2 inch screen the playability may be limited. Similarly, retrobuilt is a nice cabinet, but I thought the foot print could be much smaller and still remain very comfortable to use / play. And of course, I wanted a 3D printed version.

With a 7 inch screen, real arcade controls, an amplifier and 3 inch stereo speakers, this cabinet is the perfect size for a desk-top arcade! The system runs retropie, which uses emulationstation to manage various emulators. See their wiki for all the types of emulators that are supported: http://blog.petrockblock.com/retropie/
