Anybody interested in something like this? Looking for at least 5 people for starters, this class will be similar to Mitches 3d Printer class, which would take result in your own fully functional bartop to take home.
I am working on parts costs now, but need to know if anyone would like to take this 2-3 day class and have you own arcade bartop when complete.
Once costs are calculated the class fee will be to purchase those parts. Your kit will be delivered to the space and setup for day1 of the class. You’ll put the bartop together, wire it, and troubleshoot while learning what all goes into building bartop arcades.
If interested just reply to thread that your interested and PM your email and I will contact you with more details.
No sir not yet, i’m getting an idea of interest first. From there i’ll be contacting my vendors to see if i can get some price cuts on parts. These will be PI based in general, but can be cross built will a mini itx or an original xbox. If you have those parts laying around that would cut your costs down a bit.
Those that have nothing to start with will use a PI3.
Once the base model has been built the user can modify it and add whatever bling his/her pocket can afford.
For this exercise i’m gonna try to keep costs low and affordable for those that have a genuine interest in owning a bartop.
Oh and there will be options for different designs, once you commit to the class. You will be given a few design options for your kit.
I’d be interested in the RetroPi setup portion, I’ve had a full sized MK2 project going for a while at home and the only thing holding me up is configuring the control panel in all of the emulators and the selection menu, it works, but not great.
