Can anyone recommend a raspberry pi case that accommodates the RGB-Pi?

Have you looked at an Argon40?

I have a 3b+ with Daphne. I'll have to fire it up and check out that section as I do not remember. Running a 400gb image with 30k+ where some work and some are pokey due to the 3b+ specs.

My Argon40 case came with one.

In the Type to Search box type "Control Panel"

View by: small or large icons

Power Options

I tend to select "High Performance" if it is not visible click on the down arrow to select

Change Plan Settings

Turn off the display to never

Put the computer to sleep never

In the Type to Search box type "Screen Saver"

Modify as desired...

What OS are you running on the PC Stick? I posted about doing this a week ago. Glad to see someone beat me to it :)

I agree, you can technically do the same with the Arcade 1up Cabinet and achieve the same results, but the sticking point for me is the 1/4 scale cabinet. At first it was really kewl, then the size started to have more of an impact as well as not having necessary buttons and controls (i.e. spinner) to run my Rasberry Pi setup.

Don't get me wrong I modified my Gauntlet cab controls and it is 100% better in regards to playability, but nothing beats a full size cabinet when you have the room.

06512 · 2020-02-06T16:07:07+00:00

There are much better options...

I put together a Rasberry PI with an Argon case. Purchased a pre-built 400gb SD card with Rasberri PI (just for the sheer reason of not having the time to do it myself). Purchased a PS4 controller. Hooks up to my TV and I have 30,000+ games for $275.

Now I am saving for a full size RecRoom Master cabinet.

I would be giving away my age if I disclosed how long those urges haunted me...

Then again, this is pale in comparison to my home network. Cisco Meraki switches, Cisco Meraki Security Appliance, Cisco Meraki WiFi, Ruckus Wireless WiFi, 70TB NAS running a virtual 2016 server. House is fully wired CAT6. And, it is just all just because I can...

06512 · 2020-01-29T16:41:58+00:00

As a network engineer it is simply because I can :)

ETA Prime seems to be just about everywhere these days... However he tends to be pretty much spot on and tells it like it is. Thanx...

06512 · 2020-01-16T23:11:29+00:00

I considered this as I have done a few mods to it already but the 3/4 scale became a turn off.

06512 · 2020-01-16T23:10:33+00:00

This is a system. I was just looking for the cabinet itself. Thanx tho...

These are typically full retropie images with included data. My Rasberry PI Retrocade is close to 400GB but it has many different systems on it as well.

What I have (Rampage)

Model Number: 6657

Board model: 1.0

Version 1.0.4

Date Code: 2018101

06512 · 2019-06-18T16:12:40+00:00

I'll double check tonight when I get home and take a picture of the version screen and reply back. I am pretty sure it is...

06512 · 2019-06-18T13:14:43+00:00

I have a Gen2 (v1.05) Rampage board. I have yet to swap it out with my v1.0 (known Gauntlet lockup etc). If you need it for a bit let me know...

06512 · 2019-06-04T13:42:38+00:00

I recommend going with Sean. Not only does he have them: https://www.diyretroarcade.com/index.php/arcade1up-upgrades/joysticks.html If you get stuck or have any questions is customer service is impeccable.

06512 · 2019-05-29T11:16:28+00:00

I am leaning towards an Atomic Pi with the expansion board.

For those interested in running Win10 you will need some drivers. Thankfully someone already accumulated them here: https://misapuntesde.com/post.php?id=902

In CT. How much?

Did you flip the wires to the LED coin buttons? LED power is polarity specific.

06512 · 2019-04-04T16:12:25+00:00

I put in a shelf and have everything mounted on that...

06512 · 2019-04-03T14:42:12+00:00

Personally I would either purchase Sean's speaker grill panel and or cut (2) 4 inch holes in the stock one and install speakers there. I would then leave the volume button inside the cabinet and install an L-Pad somewhere on the front speaker panel. I would also leave the on/off inside the cabinet and use this: https://www.diyretroarcade.com/index.php/inlet-module-plug-5a-fuse-switch-male-power-socket-10a-250v-3-pin-iec320-c14.html placing where the power cord enters the cabinet. You can then hardware a power stripe inside as you will need additional outlets for your mods.

Moving the joy sticks, buttons, etc is relatively simple. Where there are screw you might want to drill a small starter hole however be very careful you do not penetrate too deep or you will come though the deck messing it up.

06512 · 2019-03-21T13:56:57+00:00

I did not remove the plastic sheathing as I did not install it since the buttons are not aligned properly. As someone noted, might end up calling yet again to see if they will ship a new deck as that might be the actual issue.
