Alternative thread title: “Hey look at this thing!”
I know there’s a bunch of us here who enjoy a snifter of video game every now and then so I figured I’d pass this along. If this is like every other product Nintendo has ever released it’ll be completely sold out way before the release day and remain that way for months. So if you might want one, now’s the time to order.
A Facebook friend of mine who is stationed overseas makes these little guys, which have an emulator and literally every video game ever made all ready to go. I’ve got about 4000 games from a bunch of old systems all in one tiny cartridge. It’s rad.
That is very cool. Does he make these for a European market also?
I have 2 SNES classic (EUR) on pre-order. 1 in case any of my friends don’t get to buy one or simply is too late. I don’t care about NES games but 16bit (SNES) is where all my classics live.
Oh yeah, I know. In this particular case tho, I just don’t care. Nintendo has gotten many, many thousands of dollars out of me over the decades, and they’ll be fine if I relive my childhood a little (and I’m not going to hunt down and re-buy all those old games so that I can play them for 10 minutes anyway).
if you google Retro Pi in NES cartridge you will find a bunch of videos showing you how to make one of these. All you need is a Raspberry Pi Zero and an old cartridge. It is basically the same setup i run in my mini arcade case in made.
