Playing retro games is easy on a Raspberry Pi - and that pocket-sized computer is pretty good at it too! All you need is a little help to connect buttons and a joystick up and you can custom design your own arcade console, desktop or stand-up machine, even just a simple controller box. It makes for a fun weekend project that will last all year.

This Adafruit Arcade Bonnet is designed to make small emulator projects a little easier to build. Here's what you can look forward to!

It is the same size as a Pi Zero, so for really compact builds, this is super small. You can also use it with a Pi 2, 3, B + or any 2x20 connector Pi.

It has JST sockets so you can plug in six arcade buttons easily using our quick connects.

Header breakouts for use with both clicky-type switched joysticks and ...

Header breakout and converter for using analog-type joysticks or thumbsticks with potentiometers inside.

A 3W digital speaker output that can drive 4-8 ohm speakers for when using with a TV output, audio-less HDMI display or PiTFT. Works even when the Pi does not have a headphone jack!

Switches are all managed with an I2C-GPIO converter with interrupt outs. The converter is very fast and frees up all the pins so you can use this Bonnet with a PiTFT or any other accessory / device that uses a lot of pins!

If you do not need an amplified speaker output, analog-joystick input or minimal battery usage, check out our plain-jane tutorial which just plugs all buttons and joysticks right into the Pi directly.

This item as sold as a mini-kit, with a bonnet and headers that need to be soldered in to attach it to a Raspberry Pi! It only takes a few minutes but soldering iron and solder are required.

It also does not come with any of the extras, so you can choose which buttons / joysticks / speaker you want! Here is a list of the items you can use:

Note: Raspberry Pi, arcade buttons, joysticks, speaker, display, and quick-connect wires are NOT included, and must be purchased separately.

Once you've picked out all your buttons and joysticks and stuff, check out our Getting-started guide to help you get going!
