I was lucky enough about a year ago to get a dead PICADE (Kickstarter Edition) so this is the 12" screen which fills the bezel with 8 Player, 2 front & 2 side buttons.
also on the right side is the monitor controls and volume.
it was wired up incorrectly, 12v to audio out for example.
needles to say, the monitor driver board was damaged, working of sorts but had to be replaced.
i didnt like the 2 PSU options, 1 for the PI and 1 for the screen, it was messy,
I didnt like simply unplugging it from the wall to power off and a chance of corrupting the SD card.
so......
I replaced the 12v1amp Monitor PSU with a 2.5a model.
I replaced the PI 1 with a PI 3 so it sits nicely on the local network very easy to add/remove games and for the increased performance.
I looked at the monitor driver board schematics I purchased and discovered (If you buy the correct version which i was lucky and had done) a 12v DC to 5v DC regulator is fitted and gives a good 2amp output.
I searched for a way to power off the PI via a button and got myself a ATXRaspi, a cool little gadget to Power ON/OFF/Sleep/Reboot the PI via an illuminated push button. works a treat wired in to the monitor driver PCB.
so im very happy with the result and have a really nice setup Retropie, I added a script to play Background music in the main menu.
The kids love it.. and it's a lot less space than my jamma cab used to take.
So what you get.
Rare Kickstarter edition PiCade pre-built with 8 player buttons, 2 front, 2 side and 12" screen.
Raspberry Pi 3 with 32gb Sd Card (Samsung) great for adding games via wireless connection.
ATXRaspi power on / off / sleep or reboot Pi from a push of the illuminated button.
12v 2.5PSU powers both the screen and Pi so less mess.
im looking for £275 (was £300) (OR £230 without PI3&SD) + P&P
can part trade+cash for any or all of the following
i7 3770k CPU
2*8gb DDR3
24"+ Gaming Monitor
