Hello everyone,
thanks to your wonderfull project which is recalbox, and thanks to the community, I was able to get enough motivation to build my own arcade cabinet. I chose Zelda theme and I was inspired by Phrazelle : https://www.instructables.com/id/Legend-of-Zelda-Bartop-Arcade-Cabinet/
My father and I worked on it since last year. here are few pictures about this :

I used 2 usb encoders hosting 12 buttons each (necessary to play N64 or PSX games even if sometimes I agree that it's not easy)
I used the next level theme which I reviewed for the buttons configuration so I customized it for each emulator. example with N64 :
So player can see this during the game selection list for N64 here and it makes things easyer before starting a game 
The speakers are on the sides since I used some nice ones dedicated for cars at the beginning and it was too big to place them on the top corners of the screen on the square panel.
since I only had 4 USB ports on the PI3, I used 2 of them for the encoders, 1 for a usb key for my games and configurations and a last one for a nice keyboard with touchpad included. this keyboard is hidden on the bottom part and is very nice to play games like ScummVM, MSDOS and some others. that means I didn't convert the sound to USB but I let it in jack. maybe not the best choice ever but the sound quality is good enough for me actually. I'm using a potentiometer which is on the top left corner of the main board to adapt the sound :
It's the first time i'm working on a project like this without any specific skills (some in programming a bit but that's it) so it's not perfect but I like it how it is actually :-). i felet a lack of skill especially in electronic stuff. With some more knowledges I think I would have been able to do much better.
For the sticker, I took some pictures from internet and I pasted them in order to build some nice designs with filters. I used GIMP for all of them. there are 3 of them I just found on internet and didn't change at all cause they were already nice to me.
I hope you will appreciate it
