Yes and no. Undoubtedly it is a superior solution, but not everyone has the time or can be bothered to get things like this working.

This is just plug and play.

I have a number of Pi projects I mean to get to, Picade mini arcade cabinet and a Sinden light gun being the main ones, but the time/faff even with ready made images is still holding me back. (So if anyone wants a sealed 10" Picade or a pretty much untouched light gun, give me a shout...)

Oh, and it looks like I'll soon have a Lumicube to gather dust. Must stop using Kickstarter!

Interested in the 10" Picade - How much you looking for?

Non-functional keyboard is a let-down.

I remember Battle Chess on PCs, it's just chess, with silly animations when a piece is taken.

Just 3D printed a housing for a floppy drive and greaseweazel and now have an external floppy in one neat package that can read and write Amiga disks on PC. Nice!

3D print went really well, I've not done that many but it was one of my most successful to date. Really well designed.
