Jauronimo Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) I got tired of waiting for the NES Classic Edition re-release and stumbled on this article describing how to make a mutant Nintendo/Atari/Sega/Playstation with a Raspberry Pi (or rhubarb pie as the cool kids are calling it) and some free open source software. http://lifehacker.com/how-to-turn-your-raspberry-pi-into-a-retro-game-console-498561192 I know I've just scratched the surface on what you can do with this thing. Anyone have projects they've worked on? What else should I be doing with this Pi? P.S. I'll spare you the trouble: Yes, I thought about going all Jason Biggs on on my rig but none of the ports are big enough. Next.

Jauronimo Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Wrong Jason Good catch, but in all fairness, you don't know what Schwartzman does behind closed doors and hes a squirrely looking f@#$@er so nothing would surprise me.

Zamboni Man Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I built one during the summer with all the NES, Genesis, SNES. If you play on a bigger tv and there's some lag between your controller and the rom, change the picture mode and it'll help some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I got mine a few weeks ago. Fairly easy to set up, however, I had some trouble with my wifi hookup and bluetooth controllers. Fully operational now though. really like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Retropie based emulator is up and running. Going to install KODI soon and try to set up some kind of media center. Is it worth partitioning my SD drive and running both retropie and raspian? Looks like Raspian has a lot of potential but for what, I have no idea.

Dual booting a Raspberry Pi Just buy another SD card and swap out as needed For your Media Center project, put the media on a network share or USB drive. SD cards weren't designed as a long term storage solution. Just run the OS on the SD card so if/when itwears out you won't lose your data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall reading that somewhere, but never tried it (and don't believe anything I read anyway.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
