    A million+ views. I am humbled. I should mention I wrote a book on this exact subject: Arcade building with the raspberry pi: www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Pi-Retro-Gaming-Consoles/dp/1484251520/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=1484251520&qid=1583455076&sr=8-1

    Tape measures are designed that way on purpose, it's not an error. It is to account for the thickness of the metal tab at the end. If you are measuring an inside corner with the metal bracket pressed up against something, the measurement is correct. If you're measuring from outside, it adjusts to allow an accurate measurement not counting the thickness of the metal bracket itself.

    Tape measurers don't have tolerances, they are exact. The metal piece on the end has slack to compensate for its own thickness so if you measure from the inside or the outside of that end peice you get the same exact measurements.

    Wrong that piece on the end of it is suppose to be loose and is made that way on purpose for accuracte measuring. If you hook it is set to mosve perfectly to give accurate measurement and when you push it against something it moves to take into the account of the thickness of the metal used so it will measure accuratley.

But then, I upgraded the machine to use a windows 7 PC, but I still use retropie to this day for home console projects and the like.

    A quicker and easier way to power everything would be to use a 15amp switching PSU within the cab (much like the ones used in the original arcade machines). No need to use the DC Step down converter or dedicated 12v supply as the 15amp power supply has both 12v and 5v rails with plenty of amperage to support everything. You could also eliminate the switch housing as the LCD would run directly to the Active Neutral and Earth at the PSU. The benefits would have been time, cost and more space within the cab.

    Your preference of course. For me, I have an arcade machine and a couple mini-consoles. I use the same disk image across them all, for the arcade machine I just flip a setting telling it to boot to attract mode. Otherwise the systems are identical which I really love from a maintenance stand point.
