Simpson’s Arcade

Wait these don't come as playable systems?

They do Whitefish.... BUT only 2-4 games included. We mod them out with a Raspberry Pi 3, put in better sticks and buttons, and add as many games as you want. Mine is a downloadable image with just arcade games. but my other Pi for the TV has every system and game you could think of, included.

Are the games the same video quality as the old ones?

Thanks for that info Diver.

That's really really cool. I used to run emulators on my comp with a controller for my old Nintendo and genesis games but it would be sooo much better if I was able to do it from an arcade

Gunney....they are the arcade originals. With the exception of the monitor being LCD and not an old CRT. but, you can add scan lines in the program to make it look just like the old days.

Nostalgia is a funny drug. Imagine making things look worse to bring back that feeling of being a kid.

I get nostalgic for this too:

I think its still floating around my parents house.

I might have some tinkering to do!!!!!

My wife likes Pacman. How hard is it to add that to the list of games? Do I have to replace the controller chip?

on my stepup, it comes on any image you download. So one of the 2000 games will most definitely be Pacman. BTW pacman is my wifes cabinet.

to add a game you more or less drag and drop one file from your network.

Simpson, could you provide a screenshot showing what games you have installed?

 

[KarekCat]

You wouldn't download a car.

Around 2200. Pretty much all 70s and 80s games.

I've been watching those 1UP Arcade mods. Looks like I need to at least replace the joysticks so they can hook into the Raspberry Pi boxes. Seems to be a lot of preloaded boxes to choose from, though I just want certain games loaded. This might be fun to do. Looking at maybe at least another $75 worth of parts.
