Seen it here like two years ago. I'm sure Scottbot can find you the thread.

Bought one of these at a thrift shop for 7$.

Pretty sure I can fit  a cheap android stick and a kade in it.
Haven't taken it apart yet so not sure if an RPI would fit.

He's standing too far from the button to play well at all. Other than that I want to try and play a game with the giant Atari controller.

Can you imagine the thumb blisters you'd get from a giant Atari stick? Not to mention that to use the button, you'd have to be facing away from the screen  ;D

The rubber boot is a scale 6" thick man! Plenty of time to develop blisters/hernia prior to stick failure.
