Assembly
Retro Arcade is built in two sections. The screen unit is the Core with the Media I/O Expand on its back. The base holds the Gamepad and the Power (battery) module and stands the screen at an angle. The Power module connects to the Core by a 7-pin power cable, and the Gamepad by a 12-pin FPC cable. The whole assembly is held in an Arcade Frame. See Frame & Connections for the connector standard, and the Compatibility Matrix for the combination rules.
Frame
The Arcade Frame is built from these structural parts. The codes are Attaky's internal part codes — the full part names are maintained by the hardware structural group.
