Development Kits and Tool Detail

• Dev Kit Description

  Thanks to the easy-to-use Raspberry Pi and some clever software, you can recreate the classic arcade experience at home. Adafruit will bring the genuine “clicky” arcade controls and instructions, you bring the game files and a little crafting skill to build it.

  

  

  
  

• Dev Kit Features

  Raspberry Pi3 and MicroSD Card

  When it's hard to choose a favorite game or emulator, why choose at all? Load RetroPie alone for immediate USB keyboard gaming, or on top of NOOBS or Raspbian to enable GPIO inputs.

   

  Buttons and Joystick

  The clear arcade buttons and joystick all act as normally-open switched that can interface directly with the Pi's GPIO headers without pull-up resistors. Each button must connect across an available GPIO pin and ground. The joystick requires the black wire to be grounded, while the four colored wires attach to available GPIO.

   

  Software

  There are a wide range of resources and tutorials to help you get your system setup. We recommend the "Retro Gaming with Raspberry Pi" tutorial on adafruit.com and the getting started guide on RetroPie.org.uk.

   

  The Cabinet

  You can use the pack's box as a cabinet buy punching holes for the joystick and buttons, then wiring the entire thing in the box. You could also use this pack as the base for a full-sized wood cabinet - feel free to go big!
