(figured I’d ‘do my part’ and make my first Lemmy post…!)

I love this thing too much to part with, but I’m gonna have to be honest: I barely use it. More often or not I retro-game on my Steam Deck…slightly more portable!

Has anyone else built their own units for retro-gaming though?

    Making a top-level reply as I seemingly cannot reply directly to anyone who posts from kbin.social? Is this a federation issue – or have I somehow set something up wrong?

    I annoyingly couldn’t see your image until I viewed your comment on kbin itself. Anyway, you say ‘simple’, but you may have put more effort in than me ;)

    There are quite a few nice RPi projects, that’s for sure…! Other than a RPi4 mini NAS-like server, I’ve got a couple of RPi Zeroes around the house for a house-wide music system.

    If you find your RPi again and you wanted to make it a retro machine, as others here have mentioned you certainly don’t have to go the whole hog; you could just install a pre-sorted distro (like RetroPie), hook it up to a TV, and use USB controllers.

      Same, I’m on Lemmy.world and the image in their post image doesn’t show up. That’s annoying!
