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.
