Plexiglass and marquee

Plexi glass is a bit off… Has lines running through it when lit up…
Who needs shaders……

Might need to replace it some time…

Looking around for a decent retro Marquee… Does anybody know a good site?

That looks really impressive!

I wish these were available to purchase pre-made.

Thanks….
Here in oz… They have flat pack kits… But it gets pricey… I.e $200AU for MDF laser cut kit vs $30AU raw materials.

The ATX RASPI and case finally arrived over the weekend….

Case
The case is clear acrylic that comes with a fan… And heat sinks…

ATX RASPI power supply
This has been brilliant….
I affixed it to the top of the case.. (Couldn’t fit it inside)
You need to do a little soldering… But the result is your able to press a button to start and shutdown the pi….This is great when your in Terminal…

Google / youtube

Search for DYI arcade..
Arcade joysticks.. Etc
This will give you an idea of how to install.

Your local arcade supplier / eBay will have a 2 player set with a usb encoder.

Search this forum to see what’s issues people have had with usb encoders to narrow down your decision.

Good luck.
