This month's issue of MagPi majors on Arcade Games, see: https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/issues/78/ Inside there is a multi page article on a guy who turned his daughter's old bed into an arcade machine, including step by step instructions and a Bill of Materials. Even if you don't use a Pi, the BoM should give you a good starting point for sourcing parts. However, the Pi has one major advantage over an old Dell machine; it has 26 GPIO pins that can be used to operate flippers, buffers, etc and be used to detect the ball hitting various places within the machine. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: BEC, Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2019-02-05 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
