IMPLEMENTATION

The construction of the unit was pretty simple with all the screws provided.

The electronics all fitted into place perfectly and Retropie recognised everything although I had to go into each Emulator to make sure it was configured the way I wanted it to be.

The decals I made a mistake with the sizing the created a "triangle of shame" but luckily there was enough left to fill in the gaps.

The piping really finished it off making it look excellent.
