The first of three video showing you the process I took to build my very own RaspberryPi Arcade.

This second video looks at wiring all the buttons and setting up the config files in the Pi

The first video looks at the components I used and how I created my prototype.

The final video looks at how I build my arcade cabinet.

More detail can be found on my blog https://richardpearce.net/2016/07/19/...

Here's some useful links that will help with your build:

Install instructions and the download the RetroPie software: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-...

The #Ipac2 is like a keyboard connected to the PI. Download the Ipac software to configure the button here: https://www.ultimarc.com/winipacv2.html

Use WinSCP to see and modify your Pi's files: https://winscp.net/eng/download.php

To setup two player with the Ipac2 you have to change the config file found here: /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

After

rather than relying on a default.

Change the one player defaults and add in player two, it should look something like this:

input_player1_a = num5
input_player1_b = num6
input_player1_y = num7
input_player1_x = num8
input_player1_l = num9
input_player1_r = num0
input_player1_start = Z
input_player1_select = X
input_player1_left = num2
input_player1_right = num1
input_player1_up = num3
input_player1_down = num4

input_player2_a = T
input_player2_b = Y
input_player2_y = U
input_player2_x = I
input_player2_l = O
input_player2_r = P
input_player2_start = N
input_player2_select = M
input_player2_left = W
input_player2_right = Q
input_player2_up = E
input_player2_down = R

I hope you enjoy the video.

I'd love to hear you comments. If you're a novice (like me) and need more information or if you're a seasoned woodworker and have a tip for me and others who may be interested.

Thanks

Note: I've recorded the videos in highest resolution possible. So please view them in 1080 or 720P (HD) for best quality. Cheers!
