Project: Lazycade

Scrawled on paper, refined in SketchUp, built by an amazing maker (KentuckyFightCraft) I found on Etsy and powered by a RaspberryPi. The supurb RetroPi is the OS with Emulation Station providing the front-end sugar. This idea came about when I built a table-top arcade cabinet with a similar spec that was massive and weighed a ton. My daughter complained it was too big to play in bed (fair enough). So I designed an arcade cabinet that sits comfortably on your lap or under/over your duvet.
