Arcade building

Hey guys,

I'm building a home arcade, and need a bit of help. it's going to be a 4 player pedestal set-up, 4 joysticks and 6 buttons per player. I want to run it with raspberry Pi 5.

Building the pedestal isn't the problem, it's hooking up the hardware. I've looked around and can't seem to find an all-in-one instruction guide, so here I am.

What exactly do I need? Amazon has a few arcade button kits, and raspberry Pi, so I figure that's where I'll get the stuff. Will there be enough room on the motherboard for the buttons for all I want? Do I set up the controls first with the CPU, or wait to do it with the joysticks and buttons? What is the best emulator? I want mostly 90s 2 and 4 player games.

Does anyone have a guide for the setup? I'm sure I'll have more questions. Thanks!
