Hello i am looking to build my first arcade cabinet and i have a couple of questions.
First:
What is the best fronted. I keep seeing so many different front end its hard to pick one. i like the look of hyperspin and emulation station, but i heard that those are hard to master.
Second:
What kind of a computer do i need. I know that you can slap a raspberry pie together and call it a day, but i am wanting to use it as a actual computer on a different monitor. i wont be doing anything to demanding, i will just be doing some browsing on the internet and some you tube, or document typing, so im wondering if an Intel nuc would work either the i5 or i7 version. I would only be emulating like 30 games
Third
what is the best way to control rgb lights. Because i am going to buy the ultimarc chrome buttons with the rgb add on and i will also have rgb back light and i want them to both be synced together
Fourth
What is the best way to do a scoreboard. So instead of doing a marquee i want to do a scoreboard like what you would find on a pinball machine
Fifth
I am not sure what theme i want. I am wanting to do a Retro theme so any suggestions, leave a photo i you have one themed this way please.
Thanks ahead of time for your help and i know its a lot of questions to ask.
