GRS BUILD-A-CADE

The GRS BUILD-A-CADE is easy to assemble and configure. Using your own Raspberry Pi™ 3 or 4, power supply, and games, you’ll build a working 1:6 scale arcade machine capable of playing many of your favorite arcade classics (not included). You’ll learn how to install and configure RetroPie™ to get the most out of your BUILD-A-CADE.

The included Joystick control panel has 3 buttons; 2 start and 1 action. Additional control panels are available for more gameplay options. Collect the 5-Button Joystick, Trackball, and Spinner control panels, each with 2 start and 3 action buttons, and the 3-Button Dual Joystick panel with 2 start and 1 action button.

For system navigation, we’ve included a joystick and 2 buttons on the rear of the cabinet. This adds Enter and Esc keys and also allows for navigating menus when the Trackball or Spinner panels are installed.

It was fun to build and fun to play. I also ordered the control panel options.

Nicely done and well thought out and executed.

Thank you!

Fun to build

Fun to build with clear instructions. I did receive an incorrect item but hopefully that is being sorted. The supplied decals are peeling off a little. The Retropie setup is great and it's working well with my Pi 4.

I kind of want to get 50 of these things....

I bought two of these during the 50% off sale (still going on), only to build as gifts for friends. I haven't given them yet and it will be with clenched fists that I will let them go... but I will. Anyway, I can't recommend them enough, but certainly with szabo's artwork. The Robotron is quite nice but the donkey kong and DK JR are truly the stand out because it shapes the exterior to the iconic nintendo look of those machines. New Wave Toys does a great job with the licenses they have but I don't think we'll be seeing any Nintendo cabs perhaps ever. This is a great and affordable way to grow a 1/6th scale arcade. The 50% off is a no-brainer and surely a loss for Glen. Stunning value.

Great Kit, fun and educational.

Got a few kits for myself to add to my New Wave 1/6 arcade collection, but soon my daughter and I were working together to get them running. Turned out to be a great experience fun and educational and we're still enjoying customizing them.
