Building of a Nu-Gen type terminal (part 2)
Posted on
I painted the arcade terminal with a gloss paint, i bought a 32 inch display (2560 x 1440 AOC Value-Line Q3279VWF). Please note that there is no vesa mount on this screen, so it’s a bit complicated to fix so that it does not move.
For the glass plate, I made a wooden template for cutting, it takes about 100 € to cut it in 8 millimeters. I then painted the inner side of the glass with a glossy white paint. When the paint is dry, it must be cut cleanly with a cutter according to the exact location of the screen.

Windows or RaspberryPi for an arcade?

The choice of system for an arcade depends on the time you want to spend there, the financial cost, and the games you want to launch. A PS3 or CPS1 game emulator does not require the same resources.
