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. |
You still need memory card and power supply and shipping which will add to your costs. At the end of the day you are saving almost $0.00 not including putting your time into building it.
My point is why not support a local company when the savings margins are negligible by doing it yourself (unless you are a big electronic hobbyist or have spare parts kicking around).
