I get all kinds of fun out of Pi's in general and I own almost half a dozen of them and use them for all kinds of stuff, but for arcade's..meh.. Doing a full blown PC is way more fun and way more end worthy even if you personally don't play. Hell lately I've been having fun toying around with Windows XP for old time's sake and if there is anything satisfying, it's knowing some junk socket 478 Pentium 4 with windows XP performs so much sweeter and smoother then a Pi with some dumb image some dude is passing around on the internet that people are "customizing" allegedly to make their own. I guess for me, the whole idea of a Pi arcade is still novelty at best. I'd just rather have a better performing machine at the end of the day, and as much as I like Pi's, I just can't assimilate at this time. Maybe Pi5 will have better luck??? Guess we'll see.

I would recommend you to take a look at my Pi image for the Pi 4B. I get really good emulation performance for arcade games with MAME on a properly tuned Raspberry Pi 4.

Nope, still won't outperform a PC. As long as there is room in a bartop cabinet for a full blown ATX board, video card, and PSU, there will never be a place for Pi. Still novelty at best.
Right now I am working on a self contained Pi setup with a Pi4. I call it Arcade PacUp. Been working with Pi for a mighty long time and don't need the help. Would rather develop my own image. Again, I'm not anti-Pi they just aren't my first choice by a long shot.
