Honestly, after o built the arcade, that's when I just went with a cheapo mini retro console hooked up to the TV. It makes infinitely more sense since I'm in the living room so much of the time and everything is there. Hook up some wireless controllers to it and you're good to go. If you want the old school arcade style stick,yiu can buy those as well.

i did that as well and it came with 100,000 games for $50! the SD card got corrupted and it fails to boot after less than a month of mild usage.

Don't let that stop you from trying again. The benefits of having all the old games you used to play within reach is worth trying with a better device. I recently bought a handheld device to see if having hundreds or even thoughts of games on the go is something I would use. Havent set up the device yet though.
