RetroBox – Second RetroPie Arcade Build

This is my second RetroBox arcade build. I haven’t made a video for my first build yet as I’m still developing the front-end for it.

This build is powered by a Raspberry Pi 2 using RetroPie 3.
The buttons are brought from: http://ultracabs.co.uk
Blueprint can be downloaded from: http://www.instructables.com/id/2-Player-Bartop-Arcade-Machine-Powered-by-Pi/?ALLSTEPS

Nice build man. Need to try a jamma build next, assuming you haven't already. A little more complicated but well worth it for the experience. Cool thing about jamma builds is they are arcades. What that means is they're extremely user friendly once put together. You can let your friends play on it without having to worry about them screwing the OS up or something.

IDmedia I have 2 questions.
1. You said you can exit out of a game by pressing start and select. I am not able to do that with mame, are you able to? and if you did how?
2. where did you find so many compatible mame games? and which mame emulator did you use?

Does your setup have any input lag when playing? I'm thinking of making my own Rasp and RetroPie arcade machine, but I'm not sure what kind of Usb interface should I buy. Xin Mo interests, because of the price, but is it good enough for fast paced C64 sportgames 😄
