I used one of those button kits to build an arcade stick for my old NES. Used the case from an old DVD player. Drilled some holes in the top and mounted everything. Did not use the included USB encoder as it was for a NES. In stead I got a cheap turbo controller from eBay and used the guts to interface with the joystick and buttons. Added some RGB LEDs to the display of the case. Made a nice effect.
Sir, I love your content! I always learn something. I may never build this but the existence of that hdmi/USB panel mount is golden. There are at least 2 places I want to use it.
Very nice! A couple other DIY videos inspired me to make a few personal touches to this build. I ended up building the whole thing into a wooden art box with a handle and panel mounted the USB cable for the encoder to make a detachable cable possible for maximum cleanliness and so you can switch between standard fight stick and Raspberry Pi console. I then added one more panel mount USB port so that a friend can plug into the side of the box for versus or co-op play in games. Thank you very much for the inspiration! Edit: A quick warning, if you use a panel mounted USB cable like the video shows, you may actually be required to solder a micro usb cable onto it instead of buying an OTG adapter. Cheap OTG adapters don't supply enough power and force Raspberry Pi 3's into low voltage mode. Edit Edit: Allow to correct myself on something. I can't be sure if it's the OTG itself anymore or if it's because the USB cable I'm using provides too much resistance from a long cable run (10 feet + 3 from the panel mount adapter in the fightstick). I ended up soldering a Micro USB wire to the panel mount inside the fightstick with mixed results as the low current icon will SOMETIMES appear briefly. More tests needed I guess.
Pretty sweet set up ETA!!! Another great source for parts is Wish although it might take a while to arrive. I've seen the arcade buttons and joystick with the encoder board for about $15-$20. I bought 2 8bitdo Nes Pro controllers for $30 and they came rather quickly.
I have a USB Jet fighter type joystick I got at a Whitby Ontario thrift store for two dollars. I think a Raspberry Pi all MAME arcades games only, minus the driving games is a great suggestion I came up with, lad.
Awesome! I'm going to make one! I'm going to add another one of those "boat or car" extensions that's a double USB for an additional USB controller or keyboard.
If you use a HDMI-USB panel mount that has 2 USB ports you could use a short usb cable to use it with the Pi and a longer one to use it as a normal Arcade Stick with a more powerful system.
He’s going for a compact build like he said to just sit on the couch and play. I don’t like it personally because never will I ever sit on the couch and play arcade games on an arcade stick. I agree not putting the pi inside and that way you can also use sanwa buttons.
In theory couldn't you ad a second usb mount to the side allowing you to build a second controller without a pi inside and just Daisy chain them together. Allowing a 2 player arcade setup. Sorry just got into the retro pi 3 been really geeking out on some of the builds yours seems the most user friendly to me
Do you have any other suggestions for the arcade enclosure? I was going to build one out of wood but thinking that will be too heavy. Concerned that the acrylic will break after heavy use.
$146. You could buy a 2 player supergun pre-loaded with games and if you want later on put a pi in it. Either that or stick a pi in cheap mayflash. Of course this seems like a fun project. 😁
ordered this and the two top holes are smaller than the other 6. The buttons ordered from the link are all the same size though. looks like I'll need to order two more buttons. Just to let everyone know, that's a possibility. Looks slick though, can't wait to get it up and running.
ETAPrime: Do it again but this time add power devices such as switches and the power-on/off button with code. I plan to do this myself -- ordering the parts now but would be interested to know which switches and power-off switch you would use.
This video is great! I used to build Joysticks and was selling them with the raspberry pi on ebay :). The encoder you use has a turbo function, have you considered adding two small buttons (turbo on and off) so you can use a turbo function or even a slow motion function to your arcade stick? I think it would be a great upgrade!
Another great understandable and simple video. One question if you please, if I have 2 player set hence 2 encoders, do I need to connect both 2 usb cables to my pc running launchbox or just one of them?
ETA Prime I'm always happy to see your videos. You're so upbeat and helpful. I owe you for getting me comfortable with the raspberry pi. I've recently started a RUclips channel and would appreciate your support or feedback if you feel like its worth your time. Thanks for everything you do. ^_^
Damn it ETAPrime I just built one and thought mine was sexy and here you go showing off some parts that I didn't know existed or just overlooked. I'm going to have to make an even sexier joystick. Good content btw
I noticed you said that the order you attach the pins doesn't matter because you're going to configure the buttons in retroarch anyway. If I wanted to also be able to use this stick as an input device for PC games like SFV would the order then matter, or would the buttons still be configurable on the software end? So basically, use it for retropie when I want, and then plug it into my PC and play street fighter when I want.
how did you solve the problem of low energy supply? I didn't cut any wires, I bought the double USB female as in your video but I still have problems with low voltage, can you help me?
Very nice video, i have been wanting to build my own Joy stick with a raspberry pi inside. A going to use your video as a model a build. Thnak you very much, keep up the great work and am keep watching. :-)
Awesome video! Thinking of doing this with a 2player setup. Anyone used arcade control panel kit from game room solutions? $100 + it comes with pre cut plexi glass?
So if you built two of these, the second one with the RPi, could you plug the USB cable from the 2nd one into a USB port on the first one and would it detect that as 2 controllers for two player arcade games? And I guess if you built four of them, could you play 4-player games?
Mike B working on something like that. My buddy and I just built these yesterday with some tweaks. The power is the issue but I am going to try something when I get the proper cable. What we are going to do is the USB cable from the flush mount will go into the second USB port on the pi (the first being the encoder) so if you want a player two (like the other eta diy arcade stick) you just plug that into the flush mount. As for the power im getting a male micro USB cord to micro USB female and plug that into the power source of the pie feed it through the little notch on the front of the pi. Should also mention we moved the flush mount to the bottom right gave a lot more room on the inside of the box.
Mike B should also say this. We built a arcade stick with a pi inside also a arcade stick without and tried plugging the arcade stick into one of the USB ports, worked no problem.
I'm thinking of getting map joystick and buttons are the holes precut in equal-sized to these buttons that it comes with. I'm wanting to change them out to map but I'm wondering if the holes will be the right size for me to change them out. I'm an 80s kid and really into the arcade sticks haven't bought one yet but I can't wait to get my first ;-) thank you for all your help your videos are awesome ;-)
Also is there a way to wait the arcade stick in box while playing? I'm sure you get the same questions all the time ;-) and wondering if the Box will slide while playing want to diminish that as much as possible while playing thank you so much
Hi, first of all congrats for your work. I need if you can the configuration/ mapping on the retropie of the buttons (configure input)... I have one kit of arcade controls, 8 buttons, and i configure it, but it looks so strange
Question about the power supply. Any suggestions as to where to find one that will have a USB port to plug in the USB cable powering the pi. Or would something like an apple or samsung USB power unit work?
I was just wondering which pi you would recommend i look on amazon and see a bunch of them. Would you suggest the one thats by canakit or the ones by vilros? Im just looking to play games on my tv with a wifi connection. Im just confused about which version would be best for what i want to. do
Nice video but... is there an arcade controller ready to use for sale? ;) Something like Pandora, since I already have Raspberry and I would like to try arcade sticks instead of controllers?
before you read if you're interested in an arcade stick with games programmed in the stick then nvm don't read this, it's a waste of time.

I am wanting a Miss Pac-Man feel of joystick and buttons ;-) trying to replicate that Pac-Man and Galaga feel. If I were to get 6 buttons can I assign the fire button to one of the buttons when playing Galaga obviously all 6 buttons are not needed to play that game. Any help is appreciated thank you and your videos are awesome ;-)
the easiest is called a 'step drill bit' and it looks like a big cone with steps up the bit you should be able to find one of those pretty easily in the UK but you can also get hole saw drill bits that are specific sizes that look like a cylinder on the end
hey could you make a video or leave a link for the motion blue image. im really into arcade stuff but just getting into retro pie and cant find arcade stuff easily. Most arcade things i try dont work and its a bit frustrating
whats the purpose of drilling that giant hole for 2 supplies and going thru the trouble of soldering wire when youre just plugging it into a power supply anyways? you could have just simply got a longer micro usb cord. if you wanted to make it just plug and play, you should have used battery power on the pi instead of doing all that other stuff.
+BEN-OFFICIAL MASSIVE the led buttons I've used in the past can use the same encoder but you will need a separate set of wires to connect the led's to a power source
Do you think it is worthwhile to go back and check the affiliate links on your older videos? I was going to buy many of these items using your links- but they are not working (likely the exact item you linked to is no longer avail) Just food for thought - im sure you make SOMETHING off those sales ^^ and this was a missed opportunity i suppose! Just spitballing!
I’m getting the low voltage indicator, but I have upgraded the power supply to a 2.5 amp one. Not sure why I am getting it. The ps wasn’t a cheap one. Is there one that you would recommend? I shortened the usb cable, and soldered it to a micro usb end. I am using a different case which does not have the same amount of room. Thanks in advance.
That encoder also works with the PS3 as well, it's a good little entry level encoder board for the diy crowd.
I used one of those button kits to build an arcade stick for my old NES. Used the case from an old DVD player. Drilled some holes in the top and mounted everything. Did not use the included USB encoder as it was for a NES. In stead I got a cheap turbo controller from eBay and used the guts to interface with the joystick and buttons. Added some RGB LEDs to the display of the case. Made a nice effect.
This is by far the easiest tutorial I've found. Thanks for taking the time to record and upload this video tutorial. Greetings from Dom.Rep.

Did u have video or some shoots of ur work ?
Pretty sweet set up ETA!!! Another great source for parts is Wish although it might take a while to arrive. I've seen the arcade buttons and joystick with the encoder board for about $15-$20. I bought 2 8bitdo Nes Pro controllers for $30 and they came rather quickly.
do you have a guide on how to solder the micro usb wire? I'm in the process of building my own fight stick and this video was tremendously helpful.
I have a USB Jet fighter type joystick I got at a Whitby Ontario thrift store for two dollars. I think a Raspberry Pi all MAME arcades games only, minus the driving games is a great suggestion I came up with, lad.
do you find the buttons are loose because they are tabbed rather than threaded with a scre type thing on the back?
Yo! your always making some legit Builds!!! you should sell some of these on EBay!
Awesome! I'm going to make one! I'm going to add another one of those "boat or car" extensions that's a double USB for an additional USB controller or keyboard.
great video! How do you turn it on/off properly?
Hey ETAPrime! Could you please update your amazon links or at least put the model numbers of the Sanwa hardware you used? Great video brother!
Lol, I just thought about doing this and here you've got it with great instructions on how... great stuff!
If you use a HDMI-USB panel mount that has 2 USB ports you could use a short usb cable to use it with the Pi and a longer one to use it as a normal Arcade Stick with a more powerful system.
Having the Pi in the enclosure seems pointless. Why have two cables when you can just have one?
He’s going for a compact build like he said to just sit on the couch and play. I don’t like it personally because never will I ever sit on the couch and play arcade games on an arcade stick. I agree not putting the pi inside and that way you can also use sanwa buttons.
In theory couldn't you ad a second usb mount to the side allowing you to build a second controller without a pi inside and just Daisy chain them together. Allowing a 2 player arcade setup.
Sorry just got into the retro pi 3 been really geeking out on some of the builds yours seems the most user friendly to me
Is it possible to power it through HDMI? maybe with a method similar to the SNES PI Zero Controller build
Do you have any other suggestions for the arcade enclosure? I was going to build one out of wood but thinking that will be too heavy. Concerned that the acrylic will break after heavy use.
$146. You could buy a 2 player supergun pre-loaded with games and if you want later on put a pi in it. Either that or stick a pi in cheap mayflash. Of course this seems like a fun project. 😁
Usb encoders are awesome! You can buy a brooks ps3 to ps4 converter and it'll actually work with the USB encoder as well. USB encoder to ps4!
Love your video.. but would a Rasberry 4 fix the lag on the menu?
That's dope ETA I bet a pie 4 would run better Goooo Joe!!!
ordered this and the two top holes are smaller than the other 6. The buttons ordered from the link are all the same size though. looks like I'll need to order two more buttons. Just to let everyone know, that's a possibility. Looks slick though, can't wait to get it up and running.
How to be MLG feat. ETA Prime. Nice job!
Sweet new logo.
Hello, can you explain how you cut the cable and you have spliced with the micro USB?
I fear to lose the USB/Hdmi cable.
Thx.
Did you ever figured it out?
ETAPrime: Do it again but this time add power devices such as switches and the power-on/off button with code. I plan to do this myself -- ordering the parts now but would be interested to know which switches and power-off switch you would use.
Nice I am going to build one for me I am going to follow your step on this video thanks again for your awesome video
Great build! Definitely going to do this soon!
Dumb question though, what's the shooter you are playing? It doesn't look familiar. Thanks.
Great video! Suggestion: How about a DIY raspberry pi 3 Bluetooth arcade stick tutorial?
This video is great! I used to build Joysticks and was selling them with the raspberry pi on ebay :).
The encoder you use has a turbo function, have you considered adding two small buttons (turbo on and off) so you can use a turbo function or even a slow motion function to your arcade stick?
I think it would be a great upgrade!
Of course this comes out the DAY I finally finish mine built out of a project box.
Another great understandable and simple video. One question if you please, if I have 2 player set hence 2 encoders, do I need to connect both 2 usb cables to my pc running launchbox or just one of them?
ETA Prime I'm always happy to see your videos. You're so upbeat and helpful. I owe you for getting me comfortable with the raspberry pi. I've recently started a RUclips channel and would appreciate your support or feedback if you feel like its worth your time. Thanks for everything you do. ^_^
No need for USB encoder if your using the unit with the Raspberry Pi. You can wire the controls directly to the GPIO.
Its easier with a board and then you can disconnect it and make it a pc controller
Yeah I was looking for something that was controller only too.
Im having nothing but problems setting up the stick and buttons via the GPIO
Great tutorial.
Nice! I might do this project later on. Thanks for an awesome video.
Damn it ETAPrime I just built one and thought mine was sexy and here you go showing off some parts that I didn't know existed or just overlooked. I'm going to have to make an even sexier joystick. Good content btw
lol
Do you think you can convert the old MK 11 fight stick into something similar. I have one lying around and would like to put it to use.
I noticed you said that the order you attach the pins doesn't matter because you're going to configure the buttons in retroarch anyway. If I wanted to also be able to use this stick as an input device for PC games like SFV would the order then matter, or would the buttons still be configurable on the software end?

THis is sooo cool man!
Very nice video, i have been wanting to build my own Joy stick with a raspberry pi inside. A going to use your video as a model a build. Thnak you very much, keep up the great work and am keep watching. :-)
awesome TUT as always! what was the name of the last game you where playing there? bit like 1943 bit side to side? thanks dude
The Pi gets pretty hot when you are gaming. Would like to see some fan cooling worked into this design.
The case that the used is the Flirc Case, which is made out of heat sink material. The case is the cooling feature.
What if you have a type c instead?
Can I solder a type c cable directly or do I need to use 2 adapters, 1 type c to usb and 1 usb to type c?
Awesome video! Thinking of doing this with a 2player setup. Anyone used arcade control panel kit from game room solutions? $100 + it comes with pre cut plexi glass?
Wouldn't batocera be a better choice? And what if you want to play with 2/4 players?
So if you built two of these, the second one with the RPi, could you plug the USB cable from the 2nd one into a USB port on the first one and would it detect that as 2 controllers for two player arcade games? And I guess if you built four of them, could you play 4-player games?

Hi ETA, do you think that it still fits inside a 5.000 or a 10.000 batery 😉?
How thick can the material be for the buttons to attach properly? Doesn't look like they have the nut & thread style...
Also is there a way to wait the arcade stick in box while playing? I'm sure you get the same questions all the time ;-) and wondering if the Box will slide while playing want to diminish that as much as possible while playing thank you so much
Hi, first of all congrats for your work.
I need if you can the configuration/ mapping on the retropie of the buttons (configure input)...
I have one kit of arcade controls, 8 buttons, and i configure it, but it looks so strange
Just curious if screw type buttons will fit into this case. Thanks
Thanks
Question about the power supply. Any suggestions as to where to find one that will have a USB port to plug in the USB cable powering the pi. Or would something like an apple or samsung USB power unit work?
Have u soldered only black and red cable? Or the white and green too?
hey man, can i just link up the push buttons directly to the gpio pins instead of getting an adapter?, besides the joystick.
Hey ETA Prime was your top switch holes all the same size? Mine has 24mm holes for the top two. Had to order a couple!
Any idea where I can get a 2-player enclosure?
Real nice job !!!!
Great stuff mate!
I was just wondering which pi you would recommend i look on amazon and see a bunch of them. Would you suggest the one thats by canakit or the ones by vilros? Im just looking to play games on my tv with a wifi connection. Im just confused about which version would be best for what i want to. do
Keep going with your videos. Your doing Great
Do they have mechanical "clicky" buttons shallow enough for this case like Sanwa?
After I soldering the micro USB cable to the USB, my Pi seemed to have power issues, just wandering how you did it ?
Joel I’m having the same issues.
Josh Money mine was due to a filter in the USB male to male cable. As soon as I swapped it out for one that didn’t have a filter, it worked perfectly.
Joel how do you know if it has a filter
dnestorjr look on google and search, USB filter, or something like that. It’s like a extra bit on the cable, it causes it to have power issues for me.
Could 2 of these be dropped into the arcade 1up cabinets with some modification to the cabinet?
Simple and you are genius :-)
is there a reason you can't use a usb to micro usb adapter to convert the end of the cable ?
What joystick gate are you using (free flow, 4 way or 8 way hex)?
that's insane! awesome!
Hi, i have a question, i can use that like a normal PC controller?
Hey ETA PRIME did the bolts come included with the case?
You should check out X-Arcade :)
I bought one of those several years ago, and have adapted it for use with the PI2
Nice video but... is there an arcade controller ready to use for sale? ;)
Something like Pandora, since I already have Raspberry and I would like to try arcade sticks instead of controllers?
an arcade stick is a controller tho?
before you read if you're interested in an arcade stick with games programmed in the stick then nvm don't read this, it's a waste of time.
I'm definitely too late but still:
fightstick = basically an arcade stick but it's called a fightstick because they are mostly used for fighting games
You have Hori RAP Hayabusa/Kai/other stuff it's a good fightstick brand in general also there is a special switch edition so not all of them work on switch
Razer Panthera/Panthera Evo(You also have the Atrox which only works on Xbox one and doesn't have good support for pc and the panthera works on ps4 and pc
Qanba Obsidian (I've heard it's great!)
those are the 100+ models
You also have the cheaper ones:
Hori Fighting Stick Mini
MayFlash F300(the best option from what i've heard)
Qanba Drone
Or buy used ones like:
Madcatz TE(Tournament Edition)
Madcatz TES (Tournament Edition Special)
Madcatz TE2+ (etc, etc)
Madcatz TES+(I've generally heard that madcatz are kinda the best option but sadly they don't make new ones anymore)
You also have options for the joystick to choose from like: Square Gate and Octagonal gate
You also have joystick and button options like:
Buttons:
Hori
Razer
Gamerfingers
Sanwa(mostly used)
Seimitsu
I don't know anything about good joysticks tho I just stick with the Sanwa brand because I feel like it's kinda normal
thx for coming to my tedtalk
I am wanting a Miss Pac-Man feel of joystick and buttons ;-) trying to replicate that Pac-Man and Galaga feel. If I were to get 6 buttons can I assign the fire button to one of the buttons when playing Galaga obviously all 6 buttons are not needed to play that game. Any help is appreciated thank you and your videos are awesome ;-)
nice but cant seem to find the right size drill bit here in the uk. any other ways to make a hole?
the easiest is called a 'step drill bit' and it looks like a big cone with steps up the bit you should be able to find one of those pretty easily in the UK but you can also get hole saw drill bits that are specific sizes that look like a cylinder on the end
www.amazon.co.uk/Ginsco-Large-Steel-Titanium-Cutter/dp/B01CXZZG1M/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1505221643&sr=8-8&keywords=step+drill+set
thanks. what size do i need.i cant find a 1 inch one at all.
how do you turn on/off the raspberry? you just plug in / out the power cable?
hey could you make a video or leave a link for the motion blue image. im really into arcade stuff but just getting into retro pie and cant find arcade stuff easily. Most arcade things i try dont work and its a bit frustrating
Hi ETA PRIME , is the enclosure heavy enough? it's look very light when you do fast moves.
Is Bluetooth possible with an Android stick also is there any lag when playing Bluetooth
When you say USB do you mean this will work on Xbox one? Or just PC?
how much did this cost alltogether?
so far, its adding up to $192.00 using original Sanwa stick and buttons, does not include USB power adapter.
Thanks nice video
You pretty much built a pandora box still awesome though
I love to play NES games on my arcade. You should also try it. Have you never used the NES Advantage?? :D
Do you know know of any decal makers for this box? Any help is appreciated.
whats the purpose of drilling that giant hole for 2 supplies and going thru the trouble of soldering wire when youre just plugging it into a power supply anyways? you could have just simply got a longer micro usb cord. if you wanted to make it just plug and play, you should have used battery power on the pi instead of doing all that other stuff.
What the name of the last game you was playing look like spaceship shooting
Do u need a different usb encoder for LED buttons? or just the different wires?
+BEN-OFFICIAL MASSIVE the led buttons I've used in the past can use the same encoder but you will need a separate set of wires to connect the led's to a power source
ETA PRIME Ok sweet! I just found usb encoder kit with LED wires, woooooot! Thanks m8
What order did you map the buttons in settings?
What was your total cost for this setup?
Do u have it fully built
Do you think it is worthwhile to go back and check the affiliate links on your older videos? I was going to buy many of these items using your links- but they are not working (likely the exact item you linked to is no longer avail)
Just food for thought - im sure you make SOMETHING off those sales ^^ and this was a missed opportunity i suppose! Just spitballing!
Great video , love you videos . Think you'll ever mess with a UDOO?
+Lpprc Grüber I have a bunch of videos on the udoo x86 advance and I just got the ultra so I'll have some videos coming up soon on that.
ETA PRIME sickkk can't wait to watch em! Sorry for the dumb question I shoulda looked
I get the little yellow lightening bolt when I try to power my Pi like this, what am I doing wrong
Do you ever get the low voltage indicator from having such a long usb run for power?
Derek B not with a good 2.5amp power supply. I tried with a low end no name 2.4amp psu and I did get a warning.
I’m getting the low voltage indicator, but I have upgraded the power supply to a 2.5 amp one. Not sure why I am getting it. The ps wasn’t a cheap one. Is there one that you would recommend? I shortened the usb cable, and soldered it to a micro usb end. I am using a different case which does not have the same amount of room. Thanks in advance.
