World’s Smallest MAME Arcade Cabinet Is ‘A Lot of Trouble to Build and Only Marginally Fun to Play’

Adafruit showed off the world's smallest MAME arcade cabinet, built using a Raspberry Pi Zero. Although impressive for its diminutive size, Adafruit's Phillip Burgess was quick to temper expectations about the project in a blog post describing the build.

HEADS UP: This is NOT a kit that we sell. Nor is it a complete step-by-step guide. It's lessons learned during an impromptu weekend hacking session which, to be honest, was a lot of trouble to build and only marginally fun to play, aside from the incredible "gee whiz that's tiny!" factor. But it may provide insights for others looking to build small gadgets"
