The Bigger Bartop Arcade Build by WE BUILD STUFF

We have rebuilt him. Bigger, faster, stronger.

Well mostly! The main guts of the build remain the same: A screen, buttons and joysticks, some speakers, and a micro computer to run everything! This build is using a Raspberry Pi 3 as the "brains of the operation" but I'm starting to lean towards the Odroid Xu-4.

​This build used better components and electrical that I did not use in the previous builds. I have switched to using USB encoders instead of the GPIO headers since there is more compatibility with operating systems that already have the drivers built it. Recalbox and most versions of Retropie will support many of the popular USB encoders. I usually just use the encoder that comes with the kits I buy on eBay.

I've been very excited to build a larger version of the original bartops I have been building. Adding some space between player 1 and 2 and sticking an even larger screen a foot in front of your face sounds like a good time!
