PD Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 @'Golf:> Make a gameboyYeah, create a retro game console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalacticGlum Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 That's definitely an interesting idea! It would actually be cool to shove a RPi into a NES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xam Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 There is already an os for raspberry pi that turns it into a emulator, Â look up emulationstation, Â I use my pi as a Web sever, Â also working on making it control my lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalacticGlum Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 I know there is a os for emulating retro games (I believe it's called Retro Pi) but it'd be cool to put it in a NES case. For the all out retro experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helladen Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 That's a great idea - make a portable retro game console. That would actually sell if someone did it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidTumbleweed Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I used mine to create an emulator box and it worked pretty well with controller support via USB dongle. I want to do something more with it though. There's some PI clusters out there that have me intrigued but I haven;t done it yet because there's no practicality (at least not yet).

GalacticGlum Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 A cluster is also a great idea but unfortunately I only ordered (have) one Raspberry Pi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gahduvdeth Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 What model did you get, and why have you chosen that specific model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalacticGlum Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Raspberry Pi 2\. I choose it because it's the most powerful Raspberry Pi model and it was the only Raspberry Pi offered to me in a kit (Obtaining Raspberry Pi's in Canada is difficult and expensive. The Raspberry Pi standalone will cost approx. $60-70 here so I decided to get a kit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
