Where it came from
Project Arcade was published in 2008 by John Wiley & Sons as a comprehensive guide for hobbyists looking to build their own custom arcade cabinets. Emerging during a period of renewed interest in retro gaming and the MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) scene, the book addressed the intersection of woodworking, electronics, and software configuration required to replicate the classic arcade experience at home.
Author John St. Clair designed the text to be an accessible bridge between technical manuals and DIY enthusiast culture. By breaking down complex tasks such as wiring control panels, sourcing hardware, and optimizing front-end software, the book helped professionalize the home arcade movement. It was well-received by the DIY community for its practical, step-by-step approach and remains a foundational reference for cabinet builders today.
