Raspberry Pi builds are common. E.g. https://www.instructables.com/Full-Size-Arcade-Cabinet-Using...

There are a lot of hits for "arcade cabinet raspberry pi."

The articles I read assume you just want to emulate a game using RetroPI. I want to create a Unity game that runs as arcade cabinet, hopefully that distinction makes sense.

I suppose I could read the sourcecode of RetroPI and see how they configure linux to run RetroPI. That seems applicable. Alternatively, I guess I can see if I can export my game for one of the supported RetroPI systems...?

Ah, if you need 3D, then probably something in the line of an AMD mobile setup would be it, for the GPU.
