“Easy to setup and configure. It would be useful to include the Picard key mappings with the pi hat installer to avoid having to remap them. Or include the intended mapping of the joystick for retrofit. There are a few forum posts about needing to run a fan with the pi4. It would be useful for the online guide to advise if a fan is needed.”
“Really great product but you need to know how to build and complease the kit to use it. Son is excited to play what he called "old school" video games!”
“Really happy with the 10-inch Picade. Shipped really quickly, was well packaged and assembly straightforward and really enjoyable. Getting retropi installed was dead simple and configuration effortless. I have several retropi setups, but this one is the most joy to play. This was my first look at an arcade build and it has me inspired to try a more personalised and custom build”
“I had fun building the Picade, the Joystick and buttons feel good and better then my store bought standalone stick.
This is a brilliant upgrade from my old set up of Pi and usb stick.”
“I received my kit in record time. There was some mixup from UPS part which delayed the delivery (not pimoroni's fault). I received it a week earlier than anticipated anyway.
The design is well thought. I had hours of fun trying to build it then even more time of fun trying to modify/hack it to my own taste.
I was happy to see that I had some additional parts too.
There are clear instructions & many tutorials + video available if you ever get stuck.
There are some cool goodies (stickers, pin, poster)
Cons:
The included video card I received had a broken connector: LVDS connector (the one with the membrane). Luckily, I was able to fix it with some crazy glue & fixing the metal pins with some tweezers.”
