I've got loads of options for 'retro gaming' - Pi in a NES case, Emulators galore on Mac & PC....but nothing feels as good as playing old arcade hits on a real [but minature!] cabinet. The build is a really fun project and very well documented, both by Pimoroni and all across the web & YouTube. Nothing more challenging than taking your time and handling a screwdriver. The quality of the components is pretty good. All the parts are a perfect fit and the buttons & stick feel solid. Screen (10 inch for me) is very bright and crisp. Software set up was as easy as flashing the included SD with Retropi and running a cURL script for the X Hat. Needed a tweak to the Alsa driver for the volume but pretty easy to google and find. The volume was loud on first boot!! But, not at all distorted. Impressive. Only issue I suffered was that the USB -C power input on the X Hat was soldered on badly and failed :(. Credit to Pimoroni support - they offered to replace straight away. Quality aftersales support as always!
