I've just completed my 3rd arcade project. With each build I've thought to myself that I could go smaller. My first project was a half cab, I got the dimensions of a tempest machine and then sawed it in half. It was intended to be a bartop, but I'd underestimated just how big it was going to be. My second project came in kit form and I built myself a proper bartop, learning by my original mistakes. I transferred most of the contents from my original build and installed a proper JAMMA harness and a cheap Chinese multi board. This made it more plug and play as I was having some PC issues before. My 3rd project was a hack of an ion icade cabinet with a raspberry pi.
I still think I can go smaller, and then I stumbled across this...

and it comes in kit form too...

bit pricey but would it be viable to do this with a pi zero and a 4 inch screen? And do I have a problem? How small can it go?

Nah, don't do that one. If you want a kit form micro build, check here.

Because I want to know if I can.

There's plenty of micro builds here that show that you can. Especially if you're planning to buy a kit.
