      I have this Coleco knock-off that I thought I would convert. I had a Pi Zero sitting around not doing anything. I ordered a 4.3” screen for it and a usb NES controller. So far all I have done is graphed on the NES controller 0_1516023408716_4AFE9895-81C5-4ADC-90EE-1E5DAB0789A0.jpeg 0_1516023559269_55A1E0CC-16C0-409B-965A-3295EAACD9C9.jpeg 0_1516023543009_DA840230-1A69-4CF7-A1F3-15F2DE9F0EAB.jpeg

            @carraudio Hey, I know this from my childhood.
            I think it was powered with 4 C-Batteries (LR14)

            Sadly it felt down and the display matrix was broken :(
            Maybe you can connect a USB hub and if your PI has no integrated BT/Wifi you can easly add it to your hub - for example the LogiLink Smile passiv 4port Hub

            Thanks for bringing back some memories ;)

              @cyperghost this one is a cheap knock-off that has the lcd on top and the light shines through it.

                Work on this has been slow but I have got some done. I’m going with an NES theme with NES, GB, & GB color games. I have a 4.3” screen I have to mount in it. I will also be painting the green a grey color.

                I have a friend that can print new stickers. I was wondering if anyone had any NES graphics I could use for the side and front.
