Coastercraze Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 RetroPie turns your Raspberry Pi into an emulation powerhouse. If you have a Pi or want something to play older games on, this should definitely take care of that. There are even cases out there now to imitate a NES or SNES if you'd like on Amazon... https://retropie.org.uk/ I am planning on doing this to my Pi 2 and then load the roms onto a thumb drive. Controller wise, I am not sure as I have not yet tried, but I'd imagine a console controller with bluetooth should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabuf Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Sounds like a worthy use of the Pi! I just threw the Retro 6666 Games pack on a flash drive and stuck it into a smart TV. Hook up a controller, and off you go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canga Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Some dude at my school built a RetroPie suitcase. He basically used foam to put in a nice LCD display and then ran controller cables out of the other half of the suitcase. I don't know how much power is drawn from the Pie and the display, but I'm pretty sure you could also put in a battery and wireless controllers and go completely wireless. You would then have a fully portable game station with wireless controllers that you would only have to charge once a day depending on battery size which is pretty nutty.
