I can’t decide on Adcade for a name. Stellar work though, bro.

That looks terrific, Ad - what a great unit! It's a shame that the screen has thrown out a curve ball like that... hopefully you'll soon work out what the problem is, dude.

Very nice.
Currently playing about with my own Pi setup and it's great fun.
I think there's a script for retropie that will hide all the text at boot-up.
Have you looked at any of the filters that would make it look more like a CRT or any of the alternate themes/frontends you can use?
Impressive stuff though Ad. Well done on getting it all put together!

It's the first image I put to the sd card and I never modified it, so I'll be wiping it and starting again, then making an ADCADE splash screen and theme.

Cheers guys. Need to get some arcade games I actually want to play now. Have to find the right romset first I think.

ARcade attacks might help with that.
[/Shameless plug]
Might be worth looking at attractmode as an alternative front end. Seems a bit more suited to arcade games as well.

Is the light from ADcade not prohibitively bright? Like a mini sun there!
Now to bung it in a corner and never play it

The edges of the screen look a bit unfinished. Can you put a trim on there to cover it?

Not at all. I've currently got the led coil just dropped in the top. I'll trim it down and have it a it further back soon enough. I intentionally left the white protective film on the back side of the rear acrylic panel to difuse the light.

Already got a spot in the loft for it
I always knew I'd never really play it much, it's more just something I wanted to do and a fun project.
