People keep saying you can build a RaspPi for 50 bucks but everywhere I price it out it is over a $100 anyways. You can buy that identical from Allcade for $99 and comes with a controller. So that is essentially $80.00 for the Rasp kit. You could also just buy the unsoldered kit and build yourself for $40.00 bucks from Allcade including Nintendo case (no power supply) which seems like a steal of a deal if you have the know how to do that while again supporting a local company. Again I am new to this so I have no real idea the costs of these kits just that when I search I can't find these $50.00 kits that the internet keeps telling me about.

Again, the Allcade for $99 only plays NES games... no SNES, no N64, no Sega, etc.
You don't need the more expensive CanaKit Raspberry Pi 3 for this. You can do this all with a Raspberry Pi 2 for $40 (
https://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Pi-...raspberry+pi+2) which runs RetroPi. You can buy controllers for $10-20. Then you can follow the instructions in the video I posted, and there you go, an Allcade that plays everything for a fraction of the cost.
