The Pimoroni Picade HAT is a genius way of turning your Raspberry Pi into a retro games console. All the great features of the Picade PCB have been incorporated into this new HAT, simply plonk it onto your Pi, connect the Pi power supply into the micro-USB connector on the HAT, wire up the controls and install the driver. The HAT is ideal for your own custom arcade builds or interfaces that need big colourful buttons.
There are inputs for buttons and a joystick, as well as a 3W I2S DAC/amplifier and a soft power switch that you can use to turn your Pi on and off safely, without risking SD card corruption. The HAT is compatible with Raspberry Pi 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W.
You can find instructions on how to set everything up here and software/drivers on the Picade HAT GitHub page here).
