mini-Arcades; DIY MODs for Switch and iPad
How to modify the iCade tabletop arcade cabinets to work with the iPad, Switch, Raspberry Pi, and other gaming hardware.
While an iPad 2 LCD was used in the video, an iPad 3 or iPad 4 9.7inch lcd screen will work as-long as it has the proper driver board. Since the connections of the driver board can’t be used with the metal case cutouts anyway (due to the tight fit in cabinet) any appropriate driver board for the lcd screen should be good.

      I see how you could cause an issue with the wrong height of stick. I talk about that in the video. Because of this change the RetroFlag is still the most comfortable controller grip I use.

    I'm between the lite 2 and Sn30pro for iPad gaming. Mainly Minecraft, and maybe some FPS and racing games. I'll probably keep it in my backpack. A perfect balance between size and comfort is what I'm looking for. Any thoughts on which to go with?

    • @BackNTheBox
      @BackNTheBox 28 дней назад

      I found the lite 2 really lacking in the sticks, and if you play racing games you should get a controller with analog sticks for acceleration. The sticks on the lite 2 just felt weak, and would not last being slide into and out of my backpack. So I would go with the sn30pro. The controller I really liked and have yet to finish the review video is the CRKD NeoS controller. For a retro style controller it was very comfortable and the buttons and sticks were some of the best I've played on. Thanks for the question and comment.

      No real advice on how to repair but sounds like the usb connection might be the issue. If you did open the controller it’s possible the ribbon cable that feeds the usbc connector was damage. There are sales on AliExpress and the controller was only around $35.

      The iPad used is a pro 12.9 and the rotation is controlled through the video capture software and switch setup.
