Famicom + Retropie
-
I'm no YouTube star, but I made a thing that I think is pretty cool:
I was perusing one of my favorite places in the world; a Japanese junk store (recycle shop), and came across a non-functional thing. Think I’ve pretty well figured out how to stuff a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W inside it with some hammer headers, custom cables, and a petrockblock PowerBlock connected to the existing power switch with some LEDs and custom decorations to spice it up. Everything will make more sense when I upload the detailed video after it’s all together; just wanted to tease a current project. Almost anything is possible with some pretty OK calipers, CAD, and a 3D printer! Imagination and a want to learn don’t hurt either…
This was a lot of fun and was a labor of love. Breathing new life into an old Nintendo Family Computer as a PROOF OF CONCEPT AND TO LEARN THINGS ONLY!!! I installed ONE PUBLIC DOMAIN ROM!!! Please don’t sue me… Anyways, here’s all the cool kit I used:
