    A million+ views. I am humbled. I should mention I wrote a book on this exact subject: Arcade building with the raspberry pi: www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Pi-Retro-Gaming-Consoles/dp/1484251520/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=1484251520&qid=1583455076&sr=8-1

      Does this book teach you step by step or is it just a general read on what can be made?

    I have to be completely honest, no BS, this was the most informative video I have watch on TH-cam in last 4 years. What a great straight forward instruction. You answered my questions about building a cabinet, and setting up everything.

    @originaloctochris 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Impressive. I love that you show everything in so much detail. Everything about this cabinet, from the artwork to the hardware to the software looks so nice. My first arcade machine project started out as a full size stand-up machine with a raspberry pi running retropie, just like yours. But then, I upgraded the machine to use a windows 7 PC, but I still use retropie to this day for home console projects and the like.

    Tape measures are designed that way on purpose, it's not an error. It is to account for the thickness of the metal tab at the end. If you are measuring an inside corner with the metal bracket pressed up against something, the measurement is correct. If you're measuring from outside, it adjusts to allow an accurate measurement not counting the thickness of the metal bracket itself.
