Build your own Arcade game. Who cares if it is only 8 inches tall! Never be bored again with an adorable little arcade cabinet you can fit in your bag! This Raspberry Pi-powered kit combines our sharp PiTFT 2.8" display, Mini thumbstick, and Mini arcade push buttons and a whole bunch of components to create the coolest arcade cabinet in the known universe. Beware !, This comes as a big kit with lots of parts including all electronic components, the laser cut case, power adapter, and a blank SD card (you'll need to burn the CupCade image on). You provide a Raspberry Pi Model B, a soldering iron, solder, wire, basic electronic hand tools, tape, etc. This kit has a lot of steps, so its best for people who have soldered before and even better, have a little Raspberry Pi/Linux hacking under their belt in case some configuration-file-editing is required. Give yourself a nice, long Saturday afternoon to put together (about 4-6 hours altogether).

• You can configure it for either vertical (Ms Pac-man! Donkey Kong! Arkanoid!) or horizontal screen (Joust! Qix! Nintendo!).
• The controls can be set to either joystick-in-center or to the side. We include plastic for both configurations just pick which you want during construction.
• We provide a blank SD card that can be burned with a ready to go Raspbian image with text-based ROM selector screen that works in either V or H mode.
• Pressing the two front buttons for three seconds simulates the Esc key, so you can quit games and safely shut down the Pi without use of a keyboard.
• To load new ROMs, simply plug in the SD card into any computer and drag the zipped up files into the directory, no need for WiFi, or logging in!
• What's gaming without the noise? There's a mono speaker and audio amp so you can relive all the bleeps
