DIY Arcade from Pallet Wood

Watch the FULL tutorial on making your own arcade from scratch:    • Easiest DIY Arcade EVER - Part 1 - th...  

Hey folks, fun project for you today - making a custom all-in-one portable arcade system that hooks up to modern TV's via HDMI. To accomplish this, I used a Raspberry Pi 3 loaded with RetroPie emulation software along with any and all classic video games and arcades games you can ever want!

Want your own custom artwork? Let me know! I can design it for you. Email me here: [email protected]

Here's the shopping list:
Raspberry Pi 3: https://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspbe...

Arcade Controls: https://www.amazon.com/XCSOURCE-Encod...

MicroSD Card: https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-microS...

RetroPie Software: https://retropie.org.uk/download/

And if you don't have one already, you'll need an SD or Micro SD card reader, a screen that accepts HDMI or an HDMI adapter for the screen you're using, and of course, a USB thumb drive to load games onto the RPi.

For the Game ROMs, just google the name of the game plus the game system and then the word ROM at the end (EXAMPLE: "Gauntlet NES ROM") and download the ZIP and rename it to whatever you'd like and then load that onto the RPi.

If you'd like a COMPLETE beginners guide on how to do all of this, start to finish, let me know in the comments,

Thanks for watching!
