Inspiration

Every year tons of e-waste is thrown out. Our project aims to reduce the amount of e-waste by making it easier for people to turn their old desktop computers into retro gaming consoles. We also want users to be innovative with the idea of recycling their old technology into something useful. Our team personally love recycling efforts and constantly look to implement them into our computer science projects. We also like to emulate and play retro video games from our childhood.

What it does

Our project uses GPT API to give users recommendations, performance statistics and steps on creating a retro gaming console out of your old desktop. User would enter their desktop model and the AI will give the user recommendations on what gaming OS to use, what generation of games it could run and the steps to walk you through it.

How we built it

We built it with ReactJS and GPT AI API.

Challenges we ran into

Training the AI for our specific use case.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The UI of the project looks cool.

What we learned

We learned how to import a Godot game into React, how to train an AI model on HuggingFace and how to use googles RAG AI to communicate with SQL databases.

What's next for RePlay

We want to deploy our app online and get either a RAG AI or train a model to use our desktop datasets to give more accurate information and predictions.
