Build Your Own Portable Arcade Stick With A Raspberry Pi-Powered Console Packed Inside

The Raspberry Pi is easily the best way to make your own little retro game console, but Hacker House took it a step further by cramming a Pi inside a homemade joystick to make it super portable.

Hack House guides you through the entire process of building this from scratch, from cutting the wood for the controller to setting up the Pi itself. The end result is a very cool little self-contained unit that’s perfect for anyone who wants an easy way to lug their DIY arcade console everywhere they go.

You’ll need all kind of skills to make this, from basic woodworking to a little soldering, but the end result is infinitely cooler than just plugging an arcade stick into a Raspberry Pi. Head over to YouTube for the full guide and all the links you need.
