DIY Arcade Controller for RetroPie
Рет қаралды 152,226
Күн бұрынUpdate: Please read the full description before asking questions!
Recently I built a RetroPie PC with the case and keyboard of an old Comodore VIC20 and an Intel D945GSEJT Mini-ITX board. To enjoy playing old Arcade games an adequate controller is required.
So I start building my own and made a time-lapse video of the build.
I used Bamboo for the top panel and laminated Ash for the side pieces, both 19 mm thick. The bottom panel is made from 5mm thick MDF. For the finish I used boiled linseed oil.
The dimensions for the top are 20 cm x 35 cm. I made the panel wide enough that the controller could rest comfortably on my legs while playing. I picked the height for the 4 side pieces so that I could cut hem without too much waste out of the 20 cm wide panel., approximately 4.5 cm. The rabbet in for the side pieces is 5 mm deep and as wide as the side panels(19mm).
The template for the button arrangement came from www.slagcoin.co.... I picked the one that seemed to work best for my hands.
The actual hole size after printing the template does not matter as long as the buttons are not overlapping. Pick the drill for the holes according to your button diameter! In my case it's 30 mm.
The Joystick kit from XCSOURCE was bought on amazon:

Thanks, I think you can do this, too! In the end it's just a box. However, you need to start with simple joints. Two years ago I had no table saw. I had my lumber cut at the hardware store and I was using simple butt joints. The rest improved over time.

Thanks! I think your are overestimating the price of my tools. What make them look expensive are the modifications and jigs I made for them.

You don't need a programmable jig to cut decent box joints. You can add simple jig to your self made router table. There are many videos here on KZfaq, showing how to do it, e.g. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eK6KgMenq76xnoE.html

@Wurmtal868 7 жыл бұрын
Thanks, Stephen! I bought the complete kit from a Chinese re-seller on amazon.de. (Link is in the description.) It's very likely that the same re-seller trades on AliExpress as well. The finish is very easy to achieve because the bamboo panels already have a smooth surface, just some light sanding by hand with 180 grid paper and a coat of linseed oil is all that you need. The ash needed some more sanding to get rid of the wood glue on the box-joints.

@Wurmtal868 7 жыл бұрын
Thanks a lot! I guess you are referring to my box joint jig. I watched a lot of videos about these jigs on KZfaq but none of them seems to fit to my saw. So I picked up the ideas of different jigs and started building my own. The first version was hand cranked kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i76WqdFylqrOeY0.htmlm13s The wobble of my saw is so bad that I could not find a combination of full turns on the threaded rod that lead to equally spaced fingers. Since I did not want to count fractions of turns, I added a micro controller that is counting the teeth of a gear, and a DC-motor to drive the rod. This solution does not accumulate errors or lose steps. The construction is very simple because it was only planed as a proof of concept. It's working a lot better than I expected.

Joystick height, and buttons that supposed to "grab" a thinner top plate is comprimised by the thick top wood... if this sort of thing bothers anyone.
@Wurmtal868 7 жыл бұрын
For the buttons I don't get your point. They are back drilled and have a pretty snug fit. Even without back drilling they would not not move. However, I agree, the joystick is shorter because of the 3/4 " inch Bamboo. You could rout a recess that makes the Bamboo only 1/4" thick in the area of the stick, if you prefer a longer stick. In that case you need through hole screws to mount the base plate of the stick which I did not want.
@The_SegaHolic 7 жыл бұрын
The buttons are made for a thin metal plate, no more than a couple mm, like a Japanese arcade faceplate, like a Blast City, or Astro City. There are proper buttons made for thicker material, with screw down plastic nuts. Also, to recover at least some height of the stick, remove the metal plate. There should be holes in the black plastic that holds the switch pcb assembly and you can use those as mounting. holes. Just a little nitpicking. Whatever works I guess. Otherwise, your craftsmanship for the base is extraordinary. You even notched the ends of the wood.

So my plan on the box would use wooden supports with MDF screwed and glued to each point. Then I would figure out a system to allow for me to put in my own custom artwork. (Most likely a smaller MDF board with a card stock image with holes in it, under a acrylic panel.) Any tips or pointers? P.S. It is a pad hack.

How well do the buttons stay in? I'm planning a similar build, and debating between the push in buttons or the ones with the threaded shaft/body with the nut at the back. I figured the push in ones, without an acrylic top for the clips to catch on, would eventually wear the wood down enough that they'd start coming lose.
@Wurmtal868 7 жыл бұрын
It all depends of on the fit of button to the hole. In my case there is a tight fit. There is no movement of the buttons when you pushed them, so I expect to see no wear caused by the clips.
@5ynthesizerpatel 2 жыл бұрын

@Wurmtal868 7 жыл бұрын
Thanks! I printed the layout linked in the description on A4 paper.The actual size of the printed hole does not matter, if you use a drill bit with the correct diameter. You should check that the distance of the buttons feels comfortable for you hand and adjust the scaling of the print out if necessary. I got the buttons in set that had the wiring harness included. However, Since the buttons are only switching logic levels the wire gauge is not important. Just use what you can get easily.

For RetroPie it does not matter how you plug the button into the USB board. as long you don't mix up the joystick with the buttons. RetroPie will ask you to configure a joystick when you start it for the first time. You can always change the configuration later on if your not happy with the button assignment.

Are you using "Fit to page" or " Reduce to printer margins" or similar in the print dialog? When you set the scaling to "none" and zoom to 100% you should get the same print out independent of the paper size. The print out maybe cropped depending on you printer and paper. In the next step you can adjust the zoom factor until the distances fit your hand.

I started with a Bamboo panel which was 20 cm wide. My drill press has a maximum capacity of 10 cm and I wanted the joystick to be in the center. The length is approximately 32 cm so I could rest the controller comfortably on my lap while i'm playing. I picked the height for the 4 side pieces so that I could cut hem without too much waste out of the 20 cm wide Ash panel.

do you notice any input lag with this? i've bought a few usb encoders and they all seem to have a little bit of lag to them, i've noticed the one you have on amazon and ebay and have been wanting to try it but don't want to waste more money

I tested it with jstest-gtk. There is no noticeable delay between moving the joystick and the moving of the cursor on the screen. Jstest-gkt is a test running under Linux. Only a browser was sitting idle in background when I did the test. So I expect the delay of the hardware can be neglected. With the Arcade games I'm playing I have not noticed a lag either. That does not mean that the controller will show no delay when using it with MS-Windows and or fight games. I hope that will help.

Hi! I really enjoyed this video, can you pass me the measurements for a 2 player control?
@Wurmtal868 4 жыл бұрын
Sorry, I don't have plans for the controller. As I mention in the description, I used a template from www.slagcoin.com and adjusted the dimensions to the material I had a available at the time.

What size holes did you drill to fit the buttons?
@Wurmtal868 7 жыл бұрын
The holes for the big buttons on top are 30 mm in diameter. The small ones on the side are 24 mm. I only had cheap dull 30 mm Forstner bit when I drilled the holes in the bamboo panel. So I drilled only through the top ply of the bamboo with 30 mm and then back drilled the holes with a 35 mm bit. The top ply is strong enough to clamp the buttons in place. All these dimensions are for the button set I used. You may have to adjust the sizes when you get different buttons.

Does anyone know where to buy a wireless control board. I hate that these arcade pads are all wired. I know you can hack a wireless keyboard, but really who wants to deal with that headache
@Wurmtal868 3 жыл бұрын
I'm not aware of a wireless solution which is commercial available. I made my controller wireless using an Arduino Pro-Mini+NRF24 as transmitter and a Pro-Micro+NRF24 as the receiver. Unfortunately I have not found the time to make video about the modification.

I bought a Hori Fightstick Mini as my first fightstick. But its to light and small to use properly. Im thinking of making a wooden box like yours and use the Hori parts on it. I dont care if Im gonna break it, Im gonna do it !
@Wurmtal868 7 жыл бұрын
You may want to check this video first kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNddisaox5nKpX0.html to see if it is worth the effort. Maybe it's better to sell the Hori and buy a button set on ebay. Good Luck!

Does this diy kit works as legacy controller or it is specific to mame?

It works as a legacy controller on the PS4 for games that support legacy controller and works with emulators running on PC and also compatible with PS3.

Der Joystick macht einen vernünftigen Eindruck. Den kriegt man nicht so schnell kaputt, Die Taster sind eher einfach, mit Klemmbefestigung und einfacher Mechanik. Wenn man sie eingebaut hat tun sie ihren Dienst und bis jetzt hatte ich noch keine Probleme damit. Da sie ein Standard-Befestigungsloch haben kann man sie einfach upgraden, wenn nötig.

Guten Tag. Ich habe mir vor kurzen auch ein Gehäuse für einen Arcade Stick gebaut. Jedoch habe ich keine Ahnung, wo ich welchen knopf an welchem Anschluß der Platine verbinden soll und auf dem Video kann ich bei dem Kabelsalat leider nichts erkennen :D danke für die Antwort schonmal im Voraus. PS: Habe das selbe DIY kit erworben wie Sie.

RetroPie legt die Funktion der Knöpfe mithilfe eines Setup-Programms fest, das automatisch beim ersten Start läuft. Dort wird man gefragt die einzelnen Knöpfe zu drücken: siehe z. B. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d86beNF1yd_LkoU.html Auf die genaue Reihenfolge wie die Knöpfe angeschlossen sind kommt es dabei nicht an. Ich habe einfach erst die unter Reihe und dann die obere Reihe von links nach rechts angeschlossen. Ob das für alle Programme neben RetroPie funktioniert kann ich leider nicht sagen. LG Wurmtal 868

may i ask the dimensions of the top panel and the second layer to it?
@Wurmtal868 7 жыл бұрын
I updated the description with the dimensions. The bamboo panel has 3 layers. The center layer is rotated 90 degree to top and bottom preventing warpage. I routed the rabbet for the side pieces so that bottom layer is gone and the side pieces are resting on the center layer. The thickness of the bottom layer is approximately 5 mm. The width depends on the thickness of the side pieces. Please let know if this answers your question!
