Cost est for cheap multiplatform arcade on large TV

The Pi 4 will emulate most systems now... it is pretty damn powerful. I'm only using a Pi3 for my arcade cab and a Pi2 would probably have been fine. I did however buy a Pi4 to use but found it wayy overkill, so I plan to use it like this in a NesPi Case and use on the 4k 75 inch TV with bluetooth controllers.

Cost Estimate

Item	Cost $NZ	Link
Raspberry Pi 4B, no case	$109	Only need 4GB version, wavetech
USBC 3A Powersupply	$19	wavetech
Retroflag NesPi case	$74	Comes with fan, switches etc retroflag
Controllers x2 (cheap bluetooth, or use PS3)	$23	$11.50 each trademe
64GB SD card	$30
HDMI Cable	$5
TOTAL	$260

Optional

Optional: SSD (not really needed, but case allows for one) 120GB $60
Optional: more controllers for 4 player games (eg simpsons)
Optional: wireless or bluetooth keyboard
Optional: Power supply in black or white

Optional other controllers

a USB (or possibly bluetooth ones available?) arcade style controller such as:
a) Arcade stick (or DIY) https://www.trademe.co.nz/gaming/other/listing-3009112027.htm
b) 8BITDO COntroller https://www.trademe.co.nz/gaming/joysticks-gamepads/listing-3003664546.htm

Notes

Comparison https://batocera.org/compatibility.php
There are kits like canakit https://www.amazon.com/stores/CanaKit/page/19109D80-639C-40C8-9222-DC6775C304EE

Distributions

I'd recommend Batocera... it is all set to go for the Pi4 and Nespi case (takes care of the scripts for the on/off switches which is nice), otherwise Retropie. There are complete builds with ROMs available at places like arcadepunks.com
