This is really cool! Or is it? Portable Arcade

I love the look of this:

Or am I just getting carried away.
What do you think are its insides? Its almost like a Pi is in there. Do you think the front end is an older version of Emulation Station?

I would definitely get one right now if it wasnt so pricey.

Yes, that's cool as ****. Guessing it's Pi Powered although can't find that out anywhere... Far to expensive for me though. Would prefer to build my own although it would never look as polished as those renders do.

 :hissy: Essexmame, you beat me to it. I took too long to get the link because I got caught up looking at his awesome craftsmanship.
It definitely is cool. This guy has built a number of wonderful sorta off beat pieces.
By the way, those aren't renders, they're photos of the finished work.

Here's another one of his pieces.

It's Raspberry Pi powered:

Thanks for the link. I'll follow it up there. I've been looking at the Pi quite a lot on my YouTube channel, and am wondering if I could simply tweak the files on the SD card.

Loving the craftsmanship on this product.

Yeah the craftsmanship is nice.
But I prefer Bender's Benderama for actual play and portability. The Rkaid is a beauty to look at, while the Benderama looks like it can take an actual beating.
