Good Luck! Would love to collaborate with my DeskCade project for the Raspberry Pi.
Nice! I saw that when it was featured :)
You might be interested in the custom PCB we're putting together to offload all the input, sound, power, and lighting requirements!

Would love to check it out. I'm currently using a Teensy Arduino to offload as much as I can. I have a huge space constraint, so the smaller the PCB the better :)
More than happy to discuss details with that (we have thought about an Arduino being involved there too) :) I'm [email protected], things are a bit crazy right now but do get in touch if you want to chat!
I've been working on the DeskCade for a while now:

Good luck with your kickstarter!

Nice! One of our stretch goals is to look at compatibility for other platforms (Mini-ITX included!)
Looks interesting. You show street fighter as your first game, yet you're not using Happ nor Sanwa/Seimitsu parts? :-p
With most arcade sticks, swapping out the buttons for your own isn't too tough; will that be the case here?

>> You show street fighter as your first game
I think that one would also need 8 buttons to play Street Fighter on MAME/FBA, since you also need buttons for the player 1 coin and player 1 start.
>> Happ nor Sanwa/Seimitsu parts
I imagine that would easily add $20 to $40 to the cost of the unit. Personally, I'd love to see a version that just had cutouts for the stick and pushbuttons so that I could add my own stick parts.

Backed! And the guys seem to be working in my city so I've asked for a sneak peek, and got a very quick positive response!
Hi again Lewis! No problem at all :)
We were the first campaign to launch on Kickstarter in the UK. We brought forward our plans for Picade to align with the launch because we felt the interest it would generate was worth it!
