If I were to do this again I would paint it black. I cut out the piece with the circular saw. I used a piece of 3/4 MDF but you could use a piece of plywood. I drilled the holes with an electric drill. I based the layout on other real arcade machine layouts that I found online. It is a lot easier to build the electronics first before you put it into the cabinet. We will build the arcade board first and confirm that everything works before fully assembling everything into the arcade cabinet. You could make the whole cabinet with only these tools, but a table saw, drill press and band saw will make the process easier. (all normal sizes except you will need a 1 and 1/8 inch hole for each button) Quantities for how much wood you will need will be discussed later but here are all the different types:ģ/4 inch piece of wood or wood-like material for control panelġ/4 inch thick piece of plywood for the bottom of the cabinetĭrill with necessary drill bits. You will also want some duct tape and cable ties Paint in all the colors you want (will be discussed in greater detail later.) Old arcade cabinet or stand to put the arcade box on (optional) most will fit if they are not mechanical.) USB keyboard (should be fairly low profile. Power strip with at least 3 outlets (more is better) (you can have extra decorative buttons.) arcade buttons linkĪt least 16GB Micro SD Card (the larger this is, the more games you can play) 2 joysticks and 14 buttons for 2 players. Should have WIFI unless you are going to connect via Ethernet)ġ Joysticks and 8 buttons for one player.
