Here is my bartop arcade im working on. friend of mine cut the wood for me. i assembled all the bits and now all i need is some edging tape and sick graphics (coming soon).

im new to linux and programming. a friend of mine told me about the pi so i decided to build an arcade machine.

Very nice. Would love to see more pics. Did you use a template?

fo0t

More pics on the way, right after i get my graphics printed and mounted.
As for a template... Kinda Sorta...i found some plans on http://bartoparcade.katorlegaz.com/ i liked one of his templates but the measurements were fuzzy, so a buddy of mine had me draw up the plans on graph paper and he modified accordingly. The melamine, Plexiglass and Dibond (Aluminum Composite) all came from the shop i work at, same with the graphics that will be produced.

If anybody wants my plans i can post them if needed.

What monitor did you use? I'm planning to make a bartop too and I need a great monitor to play.

Very nice! Congrats to the finished project!

How do you access the PiMame menu? Do you have an additional keyboard attached?

fo0t

i have a keyboard attached that i hide in the back of the cabinet.
i might have it boot right into mame4all or PiFBA one day but not right now. im totally fine with the keyboard lol

This is what I use for my keyboard. It's a little slow if I have to type a lot (but in those cases I usually just ssh). But otherwise it's very handy. I can even use it as a player 3 controller in a pinch.

Howdy, Stranger!
