The Project Begins

Hey what's going on guys it's ETA Prime back here again and I've actually I've had this finished for a few days I just kind of forgot about it put it to the side I've been building the arcade cabinet but um I decided to put Raspberry Pi 2 in it and it's running recall box now.

The Reason Behind Using Recall Box

The reason I'm running recall box is it's easier for the kids to use this is going to go out in the living room and the kids will be able to play their favorite SNES games like Mario and Donkey Kong and a few PS1 games that they like um so I've had a few suggestions on what to do with the slot one was to put a just a cartridge in it so it looks like there's a cartridge loaded up and I was um thinking about doing that another thing is I recently ordered an Arduino ultimate kit they're like 25 bucks on eBay they ship from China and it's going to take four weeks to get here but another suggestion I had was to display which game is playing at the time now I'm going to try it I don't know if I'm going to be successful with it but the ultimate kit comes with a little blue phosphorus LCD display that can hook to the Arduino so we'll see what we can do if not I will definitely do the cartridge idea and um I actually have Staples printing up some stickers right now Raspberry Pi stickers and Atari stickers so I'm probably going to do Raspberry Pi logo next to the Atari 2600 just a small one you know not too much I don't want to cover it up or anything but since you saw it last it's not taped up.

The Back Panel

I do have the back panel here this is just a piece of wood that I've got cut down to size and attached some screws to hold everything together um so now I'm going to attach the Raspberry Pi to the back panel that's pretty straightforward. I've got my Raspberry Pi sitting here all ready to go attached to the back panel with some screws now we're getting close to finishing this thing up.

Setting Up the Atari 2600

Okay guys so I actually have a little helper here say hey hi and she's going to hook this up and play a couple of really cool games yeah go ahead okay so she just needs to plug her controller in make sure it's plugged in correctly and it looks like that from here now you need to turn the power on on the Atari oh yeah this right there remember yeah just turn it on so I loaded up a few games here um for her couple of her favorite games she's just going to play a couple of them here and I kind of wanted to get the Atari in the picture so can H whatever you want to play.
