Anyone else crazy enough to build their own retro-gaming machine?

I love this thing too much to part with, but I'm gonna have to be honest: I barely use it. More often or not I retro-game on my Steam Deck...slightly more portable!

Has anyone else built their own units for retro-gaming though?

I picked up a little bartop cabinet from a local arcade convention a few years back for a few hundred bucks. Ended up ripping out the Pandora's Box (overseas piracy device with a bunch of dumped ROMs) and threw a Raspberry Pi into it. Got everything wired up with RetroPi.. then realized I needed to add more buttons.

It's been in that state for years lol
