Inside the RetroPi-Cade

Following a few requests from people as to what I have inside and where to pick the bits up, here you go. All in it cost me about £260 (which included replacing the Ikade joystick and buttons and side art for the cabinet) but if you’re not fussed with these you’re looking at about £175.

If you are going to use the bluetooth controls of the Ikade I’d recommend Googling to make sure there aren’t any issues.

Hope this is helpful but if you have any questions just yell.
