Hi
'm Jim, old, retired, maker, builder. Love to tinker. Not bad with 3D tools and 3D printing. Built electronic things for 50 years or so - yes, we did have transistors then.
Wife bought me a Picade kit for Christamas.
I'm sure you know, "The kit is great".
We built it up reasonable easily. Just enough puzzles to keep it interesting
eg are the 4 pairs of joystick connector isolated or can either of each pair be earthed. Soon checked with a meter (my wife is a mathematician and she likes things precise) What are the currents drawn by the three boards? What do the LCD dspay buttons really do? .. and loads more, just to keep us going.
Installed RPi 2 and RetroPie v3.3. Found a few games. Had forgotten how much fun a "GameBoy Colour" is - yeah!.(can't bring myself to misspell "colour" except in OpenScad".
My wife's golf is improving because her decision making had to improve to play "PGA Eurpean Tour" (Playstation).
Kit great. Picade upgrade no problem. Now I have to find a MAME romset, add a light show and personalise the graphics (case and RetroPie)
Thanks for all the fun
Jim
