Taken a slice of the pi

Decided on new buttons.  You know when you wish you didn't start something?!  The connectors were smaller on these buttons,  so I had to use some pliers just to pinch them all a bit tighter. 







Makes such a difference,  the clicking sound was much louder on the stock buttons.  You can give these some serious rat a tat tat on 1943!  Rapid Fire is possible,  unlike before.

Nice job! Although I think when i get to mine (after current cab is finished), I'll go with something bigger than 7" for the screen.  It is a bit dwarfed, IMHO.

I know you had the larger one earlier, but is the size something you miss?

Yeah definitely.  Get the 8 inch one from pimoroni it's perfect for this project.  I'm learning to live with it now but I wish I had waited.  They keep going out of stock but like I say they are worth waiting for at the price. They are also 4:3 ratio too, which gives you a nice full screen on those classics.  One other thing; vertical games are tiny, games such as 1942 are shockingly small on a 7 inch widescreen.

That sounds perfect.  I'll keep that in mind.  When I do mine, i'm considering going ALL vertical anyways.  I think 8" would look perfect that way.
