    Is this a good thing?

      I haven't used this myself, however with a Pi it works out cheaper than similar items and quite a bit less than the capcom retro station, astro city mini, etc.

      Nah, it'll steal your snacks from your pantry and spend all night shouting into a headset playing CoD.

  • Jimothy Wongingtons on 26/05/2024 - 11:53
    +3

    Not bad I guess

    Kinda half tempted to get one but run Simpsons season 1-10 on it like this since it already has the screen, speakers and connection to pro set up in a little bundle- The joysticks etc would be a nice bonus

    • Gehirn on 26/05/2024 - 11:54

      Nice, then you can switch over to Simpsons arcade.

    • windix on 26/05/2024 - 16:26

      Only 1 speaker though :)

      • easternculture on 26/05/2024 - 16:28

        Mount an internal Bluetooth speakers.
        I think it will fit a Bose soundlink mini

      • Jimothy Wongingtons on 26/05/2024 - 16:36

        Not a huge deal breaker imo but true

  • eggaz on 26/05/2024 - 11:54

    Great buy if you have a pi…

  • TEER3X on 26/05/2024 - 11:57

    Any similar 2P ones for cheap?

  • QuickToThePointless on 26/05/2024 - 12:14

    at 34x28cm this would be awesome…if you strap it around your neck

  • BlueDiesel on 26/05/2024 - 12:15

    Extremely tempted, but I always hated (already in the C64 days) to have the buttons on the right- being right handed.

    • habib23q on 26/05/2024 - 12:33
      +2

      Thats true tho. I still got one just to play the old c64 classics on this like last ninja 1 and 2 and turrican etc lol

      • BlueDiesel on 26/05/2024 - 12:46
        +1

        Yep, I still love to play those and many others (who dares wins, spy vs spy, Summer-, Winter-, World-, California Games etc.).

        This looks nice for single player game, except for the layout of the buttons. Hence, I'll stick with TV and my Competition Pro(s).
        Can't remember where I bought them but got a couple for a half decent price when they were on special (probably eBay or Amazon) a couple of years ago.
        Having some decent Joysticks makes a huge difference to whole experience.

          Yeah i have multiple ways of playing these already but for this price its alright. Them games are all classics still. Ive got 4 of these compettion pro joysticks when they were on sale on amazon from a few years back myself.

    • TEER3X on 26/05/2024 - 12:51

    I want this so badly but I have no technical skills. Is installing a raspberry pi hard? Ohh just think of all the retro Pokemon I could play on this bad boy

    • cheepo on 26/05/2024 - 13:23
      +1

      There's a lot of pre-created Retropie images you can download. That means the operating system that runs everything and all games are reloaded. You just have to find the right image and burn it to an SD card. Putting a SD card and installing the a raspberry pi shield should be a straightforward process if you can follow a few steps and just a matter of plugging a free things in. Just make sure you download the right image for your Raspberry Pi version (3/4/5).

    • kungfuman on 26/05/2024 - 18:07

      its only hard if you dont' know what your doing lol.

  • eggaz on 26/05/2024 - 12:49

    Ordered two. Should be pretty awesome to have in the office and tinker.

    • kungfuman on 26/05/2024 - 12:53

      This is something all offices should have :D can we get a tax refund on this if we keep it at work?

      • eggaz on 26/05/2024 - 14:06

        Worth a shot… if your in IT field maybe at a stretch training / learning expense?

    Must have been pricing error. Now showing as $169 instead of $64.

    • AmperSand on 26/05/2024 - 13:03

      Shows that, but then add to cart its full price.
      Jaycar's website is a bit of a S%#tshow.

      • AmperSand on 26/05/2024 - 13:05

        Now it just 404's each time I login.

    • bcYield on 26/05/2024 - 13:28

      The screen could have been improved as it doesn't look easy for eyes.

  • Duckbutter on 26/05/2024 - 13:14

    Shows $126.75 when I add to cart. Haven't tried logging in.

  • fairdinkummate on 26/05/2024 - 13:15

    It shows $126.75 to me on checkout. Did they increase the price or is it a pricing error

    • trippy on 26/05/2024 - 13:16

      Yes, it shows as $126.75 in the checkout. It says "promotion activated".

  • littlesoldier on 26/05/2024 - 13:18
    +1

    Added to cart at $64 then website changed to show as $169

    When I checkout interestingly I am still charge for $64

    Not a fan of arcade game, but have a spare pi 3 at home so just a good fit for this

    • windix on 26/05/2024 - 16:30

      Same as you! I get it must be our lucky day!

  • AmperSand on 26/05/2024 - 13:24

    Old website shows weird pricing. New website shows $64
    If not showing proplerly try the new website. Also disable adblocker, wouldn't even let me select a pickup store with Ublock Origin enabled.

    • bcYield on 26/05/2024 - 13:38

      Never known Jaycar has a new website. It doesn't let me checkout lol no ad block no vpn

      • trippy on 26/05/2024 - 13:53

        Damn, I just went with $126.75 from the link in the OP. What's the deal with Jaycar having two different websites?

      • Yummy on 26/05/2024 - 14:12

        Ordered 3 units (checkout as guest) for $144 total then their page bugged on me but paypal payment went through. Grrrr

        • bongo007 on 26/05/2024 - 14:52

          2 for $96 works too!
          Let's see what happens.

          • Jonzay on 26/05/2024 - 15:53

            @bongo007: PayPal bugged out for me too - giving a "blocked" error on Jaycar's side. I spoke to their support and let them know the transaction IDs, but for now the money is locked behind preauths.

            Entering details manually, as much as I didn't want to, worked.

      • Franc-T on 27/05/2024 - 11:57

        website error

        they have no idea. Oh well didnt need one anyway.

    • ColdFusion on 26/05/2024 - 14:54

      • AmperSand on 26/05/2024 - 16:07
        +1

        I think its more a case of only really wanting to support one website and really not caring about updating anything on the other.

    • windix on 26/05/2024 - 16:33

      I heard their new website is built using commcertools. They must be still in the transition period between old and new website

  • AmperSand on 26/05/2024 - 13:50

    Now just need a 5v 5a power supply for the Pi5 I have doing nothing

    • trippy on 26/05/2024 - 13:59

      The official Raspberry pi 5A 5V power supply is just over $20.

      • AmperSand on 26/05/2024 - 14:04
        +1

        Yeah, there were none in stock when I got my Pi5. So I played with it for a bit, but left it sit until I could get one. They seem to have stock in a lot of places now. Will order locally and hopefully pickup arcade case and psu at the same time. I also only have microhdmi to hdmi cables not adapters, so might have purchase those too.

        The screen alone in this is worth it for the $64 in my opinion!!

  • lhou021 on 26/05/2024 - 14:14

    thanks OP.
    Nice little project, bought one.

  • a l an on 26/05/2024 - 14:24

    By the time you add a pi you might as well get a powkiddy a13 or a12

    • AmperSand on 26/05/2024 - 14:30
      +1

      Most people interested in this likely already have pi's.
      Also looks like it would be fairly easy to replace buttons and joystick in this (the wearable items). So for $64 if you already have a pi its pretty neat. But agree if you are doing it all from scratch there may be "better" options availiable.

      • easternculture on 26/05/2024 - 14:53

        Planning to use the screen only as it has micro HDMI. And a old phone, emulator and wireless controllers

    Can u network 2 of these together for a local 2 player experience?

    • AmperSand on 26/05/2024 - 16:04

      I think it has something called "netplay" not sure what it supports or how laggy it would be? You could always tether a bluetooth controller or use an additional USB controller for the authentic split screen expirience on a single console 🙂

  • kungfuman on 26/05/2024 - 16:07

    Does a pi 5 work in this?

    • windix on 26/05/2024 - 16:46

      It should. The GPIO pins are the same. The only issue might be the power (Pi 5 requires 3A or 4A I cannot remember correctly) so you may need to get a separate power / usb-c charger for it YMMV (also you can see some discussion above)

      • AmperSand on 28/05/2024 - 12:28

        gpionext = not compatible unfortunately.

        • nickraphael on 13/06/2024 - 21:47

          What do you mean by this? I have a pi5. What isn’t compatible?

          • AmperSand on 14/06/2024 - 07:38

            @nickraphael: Software that interfaces with GPIO is quite different and not yet compatible. The buttons and joystick won’t work ‘out of the box’ with pi5.

  • eggaz on 26/05/2024 - 16:34

    Anyone order from the new site and successfully click and collect, what was the turnaround time like? Been waiting l over 2 hours for collection confirmation.

    • AmperSand on 26/05/2024 - 16:49

      I ordered at 1:34pm and recieved confirmation to collect at 2:44pm. Will pick it up tomorrow though.

        Can confirm this works still. Chrome it appeared to not go through and couldn't click the 'place order' button, but Edge it worked fine.

        And now on reviewing my bank account i've been charged three times lol

  • puffinfresh on 26/05/2024 - 18:50

    I got charged by PayPal, but then the website had an error and the order didn't go through. I ordered again and have picked it up, but hopefully getting that extra charge back won't be too much hassle.

    FYI I picked one up this afternoon in store. They have a sign in store “$64 on sale”, so it’s not a pricing error.

    They also had a demo model in store to play around with, it was running a Pi 4 with heaps of games from many diff consoles. They mentioned similar to what is commented here too that Pi 3 runs fine too and prob even easier to setup. Just need a keyboard to assist with some of the setup but all the details are in the box.

    • HomeAlone on 26/05/2024 - 20:39

        No record of my orders in their system at all - so all in all just a massive pain the butt.
