Inspiration

Wanted to make my own gaming console.

What it does

It's a gaming emulator that plays ROMs from a wide variety of retro gaming consoles--SNES, NES, N64, GBA, etc.

How I built it

Purchased a 3D printed case, Raspberry Pi 2, USB controllers, and an HDMI cord. Assembled the Pi in the housing. Side loaded the Retropie software via a micro SD card. Configured the controllers. And then loaded ROMs via a USB drive.

Challenges I ran into

I was initially worried the software wouldn't flash properly, but this is one of the easiest flashes I've ever done.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Having a fully finished build that is 100% functional.

What I learned

Didn't learn a lot of new material since I was used to doing more complicated flashes than this. I really feel that it was just good to get a whole project together.

What's next for Retropie SNES Console

Shipped this with about 100+ ROMs on it to my Cousin so her and the kids could play retro games. <3
