Zelda themed bartop arcade using rpi3

[Joery]

Dear all,

A few months ago, I've made a raspberry pi 3-powered bartop arcade with a personalized Zelda theme for my daughter of seven (Svea) and my son of four (Thorsten) years old [and of course a little bit for myself as well ]. Hence notice the custom side-artwork The artwork was self designed/compiled, except for the bezel which was mainly based on previous work from phrazelle with slight modifications. If anyone is interested in a component list, I can post that if requested. Please find here some pictures of the outside, inside and in-operation:











With kind regards,

Joery

Nice build ! How did you wire the controls ? I see only few wires soldered to the Pi’s pins. Do you have a controller like a Teensy ?

Thanks! I used two "zero delay" USB encoders. They also power the LEDs of the buttons and joysticks of each user (5V) and are connected to the USB ports of the RPI3.

Cheers,

Joery

Dude! ... that is lush! ... awesome Zelda graphics... one of my fave games...

I’ve recently started a build too... but there is little chance it will end up looking as good as yours!
