HPR4161: Building a retro gaming console with a Raspberry Pi
Manage episode 428922433 series 32765
Kevie, co-host of TuxJam, continues his series on uses for the Raspberry Pi with a talk about his experience of making a retro gaming console using the Raspberry Pi.
For the initial build I used:
- SuperPi Case: £22.50
- Retroflag Controller (x2): £27
- Pi 4 Model B: £75
- Heatsinks: £3.50
- 30mm Fan: £3
- Power Supply: £9
- HDMI Adapter: £4
- 64GB MicroSD Card: £7.50
- Total price: £151.50
In retrospect I would now recommend purchasing a Raspberry Pi 5 and use an NVMe SSD Drive for storage, also with a suitable case to hold these. I would also recommend a joypad with thumb sticks, such as the 8BitDo Pro 2.
