Ben Heck builds a Retropie Portable
-
Just received a notification from YouTube that Ben Heck had uploaded a new build video. He used Retropie in the video but wired an LCD using a driver board directly to the GPIO.

why not use a Zero rather then wasting time on butchering an old A+

In the circles we swim in, he's become somewhat of a celebrity. Did he strike you as a down-to-earth kinda guy? I remember reading about the portable 2600 he made nearly twenty years ago and desperately wanting one. What did you two talk about?
