Mini 2-player Arcade From an Old Laptop and Ikea Chopping Boards.

I love retro gaming. All those old arcade machines and consoles were just so much fun.
I’d love my own arcade machine but I simply don’t have the space. Playing with a gamepad through a console on the TV just doesn’t feel right so I needed to make a bar-top machine.
There are plenty of Raspberry Pi based machines like this out there but I wanted something a little more powerful.
This is a complex build and you will need both skills in electronics and woodworking.
Time required: 20 to 30 hours
