livingspeedbumpThanks man ! :) For now i am trying to finish 6 working units, and soon i will meet a big Electronic Parts Store here in Canada to see if we can do some kind of partnership so i can lower the production costs of it. In the meanwhile i will keep doing and improving it on my pace. :) Thanks for the feedback ! : )
kumodotIs there any way to connect an external USB device, such as a controller?

livingspeedbumpYes. There's no mistery in there. It's a raspberry Pi3+ inside, but the case can fit other kinds of CPUs that follow the same formfactor of the pi. The nice side of it is the package. Battery operated (or micro usb power), and the real arcade stick (It's a adapted Seimitsu inside) so you can play like a real arcade instead of using tiny plastic sticks... Stereo sound output for headphones + internal speaker with volume control on the back. Connection-wise, using a raspberryPi as core gives it 4 usb ports on the back so you can plug up to 4 external controllers. Or you can pair it up with bluetooth controllers, and even Ps3, ps4, or xbox ones to play wireless (The board has internal bluetooth. Xbox ones it needs the microsoft dongle for the controllers. The Sony controllers don't need it since they work with bluetooth). It has wifi, so you can acess and update the settings, customize, or feed it up with more games. I will try to do a video showing it better around the end of this month.
kumodotThat much I assumed (about the Pi, seeing as it was running RetroPi in the pics!) I was really just curious if the case provided an opening for connectivity. I've got a great RetroPi image I use now, though my builds are much more traditional. BT controllers would always be an option as well, the USB connectivity is just nice to have easy access to!

livingspeedbumpOh i see. Nice little case ! :) Thanks for the comment, that made me realizes that i didn't post ANY image from the back of the unit (Huge fail lol). Just updated the post with more pics that shows it from inside and the back part. There's a separated plate for the pi, so this way i can update/adapt the unit easier for future versions of pi or slight different board outputs, just printing a new version of that piece.
kumodotah brilliant! Love it! This is very clean, even better than expected.
