Hey, I sent an email to the email that I think you posted @gmail, I figure that's what @ the g means? Interested in getting those files if possible.

I think I'll take your advice and either try to find another cabinet or build one for a multicade, keep the Golden Tee as is.

Korkstand - If you were seeing high prices for pre-cut MDF, that bodes well for what I'm thinking of doing




Yeah, Precut MDF Cocktail Table were running about $400. No customizations for monitor size etc...

BTW - started the build on my Virt Pinball cab late last week.... 95% of the wood work is done, installing electronics now, waiting on the steel parts to arrive (legs, lockdown etc). I will start a new thread once I get closer to a working machine.

So it begins.... first retropie build for raspberry pi 4 is out...


It's still a test build, these have been somewhat available before, just not as easy. An official release build still isn't out at retropie.org.uk, this one still has some big bugs that I have run across and isn't as simple as dropping the image on a sd card. Have to install through raspian-buster first with this build.

I think what I'd really like to do is get the TMNT cabinet, install a 20 inch. monitor, cut off the current control board and build a custom one so that 4 people can actually play comfortably, may need to trim down the sides a bit if I increase the size of the control board so that the players on the outside have an uninterrupted view of the screen

you could probably build a better bench than they did. it looks like it might just be a $99 'doo dad' bench they sell separately.

yeah It looks like the bench is just an alternative to the regular riser... instead of raising the screen it just adds a Star Wars branded bench... and the nba jam cabinet has hang time as well.

wish we could get a nfl blitz, NBA Showtime one but the capabilities of these aren't there yet.

honestly if you go to arcadepunks and grab a nice fat .image file (128gb or 256gb) you will have every ROM you can think of for just about every arcade & console for the last 40 years.

if you just want arcade ROMs, no need to go beyond 32GB image files. Just note the NFO for details as to how complete the collection is for the file you're grabbing.

in order to extract them after imaging an SD card with it, you'll need to hardwire your Pi into your network or configure the wifi inside retropie itself then using something like 'beyond compare' to copy the ROMs to a master location.

i recommend using 'beyond compare' vs straight up copying because with the # of ROMs and size we're talking about if something screws up halfway through you won't have to start over.

George should have just tipped it over. Would have been salvageable.

Totally agree with just going to punks and grabbing the image. Its much easier that way.

Completed the nes machine and will load up the final pics later. It wont have the light up marque because Im still waiting on that.

Time to move on the the street fighter simple mod with new controllers along with the installation of a pc to run that one. I can run almost anything with the pc.

Once golden tee drops around here, I will pick that up solo.

Nah. He was trying to save his high score without the machine powering off hence the extension cord.

There was no solution to that Mac truck that would retain his score.

Scored again! Another Marshall’s near me had the 3rd gen Pac Man with custom riser. It doesn’t say lighted marquee on the box, so that’s kind of a bummer. At any rate, this will probably be my mod box for retro pie!
