Hi /vr/.
>Be me, in 1st year of IT engineering school
>Find buddies interested in retro vidya
>Big conference at school
>Teachers tell us we've gotta do a project for the end of the year
>"Let's do an arcade machine guys !"
>Everybody's like "fuck yeah, let's do this !!"
Basically, we're gonna build a minimalist computer with a Raspberry Pi 2 with Arch running on it, program an interface so players can choose their game, have a wifi connection so we can put our own games on it and make updates, put high-scores online and shit but we have a few problems:
1) How can we use old arcade games on our arcade machine without running into legal trouble ?
2)When playing with two players on Mame on the same keyboard, we had a huge input lag on most games but especially Dodonpachi, and shit like this can ruin the game. Any ideas ?
3) We're gonna build our own arcade controllers for it. Any advice ?
Also, general arcade thread and thank you /vr/ troopers.
