Completed Minimalist Bartop/Wallcade

[moocowe]

Designed in CAD to be as small as possible with a subwoofer inside. The original concept was to build a base to sit it on and also use as an upright, but I'm happy just using it as a bartop for now.

It used to be powered by 2 Raspberry Pi's (one running RetroPie, and a Zero to display the controller images on the 5" display), but it was a pain to work with, so I swapped them out for an Intel N95 mini PC with LaunchBox.

It's a Xin-Mo board, which I think is set to direct input. I've set up all my Windows games to launch via Steam, so I can use the Steam Overlay for configuring controls.

I haven’t put my standard pc games through steam. 🤦🏻‍♂️ seems like that would make it easier with controllers like you have 👍🏼👍🏼

It was the only way I could get the controls to work for every game. Some Epic games were unplayable without using Steam to remap controls. I made a post about how I set it up here:
