At the heart of the build there’s a Raspberry Pi 3B+ (soon to be upgraded to a Raspberry Pi 4) running MAME, and a Pimoroni Picade X HAT.
This is James Milroy’s 3⁄4-size Star Wars upright cabinet, powered by Raspberry Pi and made in March – the Month of Making!
A load of techniques have gone into this build, including CAD, CNCing the 18 mm MDF for the cabinet, 3D-printing the joystick handles to get that authentic X-wing feel and, of course, connecting all the electronics up.
