virtualman did a great job in getting all this put together!

[@TheUsualSuspekt]

I am so glad you are still making videos. TBH, I forgot all about your channel. Ever since KZbin screwed things up and took away the email notifications, its hard to keep tabs. I have you set up for notifications but apparently my phone never got them.

[@drewtalks]

awww nice glad you found it again!

[@TheUsualSuspekt]

@@drewtalks Wasn't hard finding ya, just remembering to check if you still made videos because at one point you were on hiatus. Be safe :)

[@666jamie666]

Great image. Drew in the future could you do a tutorial on what tweeks need to be done for those of us that want this image in a arcade machine with a 4:3 screen so everything runs correctly.

[@lukeman42]

Do you know where to get this image and how to do on a Arcade 1up 4.3 screen ?

[@ElBrisho]

Did you figure it out? My screen is already 4:3 but the image looks smushed still because it has the side logos

[@ronallen81]

is there a link to a 256gb updated 3b+ image? i need to refresh mine

I’m running his arcade image and it’s amazing

Which micro sd are you using to run this? Cheers.

[@cosmel24]

Same! Please share if available

[@vaperainzero3886]

Love this image. Well worth the extra cash for the larger sd card

[@cosmel24]

would you be willing to share this please? Just need the last 6% of it 🤘

[@Lokiman2024]

Can’t wait for level up I have this modded into a arcade joystick on a 3b+ and then have his 512gb in a argon with an external with addons. Can’t wait to have his pc version on a small rig. Love it all vman rules

[@jadoiron]

Can this be done with a 1TB external USB drive (passport) rather than SD card?

[@MobileDecay]

I want that theme! Reminds me of coinops diamonds!

[@blackspnyx]

I'm just looking for the theme too.

[@ajcaldecott3840]

Love your videos Drew,always entertaining and informative. I'm brand new to the whole raspberry pi scene but I'm eager to jump in and get involved in all things pi. I've got a 9 year old windows laptop I'm using to download and flash my images but I haven't had any luck in any image working. Could this be because my laptop is so ancient? Sorry for asking a dumb question but can't find answers anywhere. Hope you can help. Thanks for your excellent content and can't wait to see your next video.

[@drewtalks]

maybe? it is usaully the sd card. Try etcher or win32

How did you download this image, I am trying so hard to download it with very little success, please help

Where can I get a download? Been trying for 3days on arcade punks and only have 13g downloaded

[@ElBrisho]

@@tsnaaronreed you're only 3 days in. Have to be patient, hardly any seeders. It took me nearly a month it seems, leaving my laptop on all day while at work. Shutting off when I get home. And leaving it on all night while I slept. After about a month of doing that daily, it finally finished. Some days, I would not even get 1% progress.

[@juanchavez9836]

how do i get this?

I’m new to pi. I don’t have an sd card reader can I ınstall this imager directly through pi? Or ınstall it on my usb drive?

This is cool and all but I'd like to know if are there any Raspberry pi 2 images that you would recommend.. It seems as though the pi 2 is forgotten all together since the pi 3 came out. I have the pi 2 and barely even put it to use. Any awesome images for the pi 2 would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
