The Timemachine / Tidsmaskinen [DK] (Bartop W. Raspberry PI2)

[Anderss]

Hi,

Welcome to my project called "The Timemachine", in danish "Tidsmaskinen".


This is my first project and i have decided to go for a bartop with a raspberry pi 2.


Setting up the RPI2 - i have absolutely no clue what i am doing 


Start making a temporary control panel for proof of concept


assembling buttons


wirering


Tadaaaa - Doesent work with retropie


NVM - starting wood work


Finishing woodwork and plexi cutting


The final result of a days work in the woodshop


Started sanding and filling cracks

Looks great so far. 

I'm curious about the RPI2, what is the newest machine it can play full speed?  What frontend are you planning on running?   Are there weird considerations with the control's wiring?

Any of this R-pi stuff help?

Thank you. I'm planning on using retropie. As far i am concerned n64/ps1 can run on a rpi2.
I Wont be running Anything fancy, newst machine that i have planned on running is snes.

And about the wirering. I have no clue what i did, i just followed a guide. Thats probably why it looks messy. I found the wires to be a little short though. This was just my prototype panel layout so i Will try doing better on the final. 


Donky: thanks for the link, i Think the Tiny LCD hdmi screens Can be useful for future projects.



Question

Di you guys have any ideas on a control panel to handle snes/genisis/saturn/nes/a couple of arcade classics ?

From the games listed, SNES is the only one with the most buttons (6), so I would at least use a minimum of 6 buttons. I had the SNES advantage stick back in the day and would use it for fighting games so all three buttons were laid out and I didn't have to use the shoulder buttons.
