Just search 'retropie' in the bay and take your pick. Can't appear to find my seller. Make sure the pack includes 2 SNES controllers etc..

Anyone know a place I can get a Raspberry Pi case that looks like a Retro console?

I've been looking on places like Etsy but that stuff is often from the US and will take a long time to get to the UK (as well as having to pay possible import costs).

Started looking into downloading ROMS - quite a laborious process isnt it! Have to say Ive buckled and ordered a fully loaded SD card off the bay

Should save time at xmas

Seriously considering building a table top cabinet to house it with a 19" screen and arcade buttins

Ive ordered the Pi 3, a case, a power supply and pair of snes controllers (lookalikes) and some usb extension leads


@addyb where did you get the arcade stick?

Damn, shouldn't have read this thread.I can feel myself being infected with the retro bug again.I still have my Mame Cab in my office lol. Good thread mate.

Finally ordered a Pi, SD card, Power lead and case.
I'll use an old wired 360 controller to begin with.
Would like a Buffalo one at some point @addyb where did you get the buffalo from?

I'll be looking to emulate Mame, Amiga, Snes, nes, master system, mega drive and Atari 2600.
Shame it can't do Dreamcast.

I heard the 8bitdo SNES pads are better in feel than the buffalo pads mate, just good for thought

Thanks will check them out.

They probably are. The arcade stick I had from 8bitdo was excellent.
