This piece of hardware isn’t really that important all though, it is still important enough to mention. Here is a direct link to the Pi I used for my arcade. I have bought many electronics from them and they are always reliable. If you need to buy a Raspberry Pi, I would checkout. In fact this is the primary reason I went with the three over the two. ![]() The Pi 3 has a wifi chip built into the board, making it a cinch to connect to wifi. While the Pi 2 and Pi 3 both have 4 USB hubs, the Pi 2 only has ethernet built onto the board, so if you want Wifi, you are going to need to buy a USB wifi adapter. The Pi 2 and Pi 3 both have 4 USB ports while the Pi 1 only has two ports. The more USB ports the device has, the more people you can play with. However I think the most important details to consider here are the number of USB ports and the networking capabilities. The RPi3 boast a 1.2 GHz 64 bit Arm Processor while the Raspberry Pi 2 has a 900 MHz processor and 32 bit architecture (RPi 2 version 1.2 does have a 64 bit processor) and the Raspberry Pi 1 has a 700 MHz processor and only 512 or 256 MB RAM. The RPi 3 and 2 both use Microsd cards instead of the one’s Regular size SD card. There are some differences between the RPi 3 and RPi 2 and RPi 1. If you get this working on a Rpi 1, let me know! I would love to hear about it. I have an RPi one set up at work to run Google’s timer and that is barely responsive. I am not 100% sure about how a Raspberry Pi 1 would work, but I am deeply skeptical that it would work well. I used a Raspberry Pi 3 for this project, though this would probably work on a Raspberry Pi 2. ![]() For those of you who don’t know what a Raspberry Pi is, it is a credit card sized machine priced at an affordable $35 dollars. The most obvious piece of hardware I used was a raspberry pi. In this article, I will walk you through the entire process from setting up your Raspberry Pi to transforming it into a relatively cheap retro console. So I did the next best thing: I found a raspberry pi I had laying around and fished out an old USB XBoX controller I had laying around and so Yoseph’s Arcade™ was born. The problem is, Arcade machines are expensive and I couldn’t get my hands on one that day. Being the huge nerd that I am, I decided that I wanted to play these games all the time. A couple of weeks ago I went to this barcade in Lansing Michigan.
