• Super Mario 64 on the Web

  I agree! I picked up [RetroPie](https://retropie.org.uk/) again during the pandemic. I'm sure many did the same haha. That's when I learned [N64 emulation is difficult](https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Optimization-for-Nintendo-64/). Well done. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

  I would have thought a well set-up Raspberry pie running RetroPie in a nice case (e.g. https://thepihut.com/products/superpi-4-case-for-raspberry-pi-4) and a couple of decent controllers would be the best thing. Source: 5 months ago

• The Arcade I bought off Gamestop finally arrived!!

  Hey thanks for the links!! I was just looking at how to build my own cabinet as I have some Raspberry Pi/RetroPie experience. This seems like a good solution that I can just pay for. Though if I build my own I can set it to whatever height/size I want. Maybe I'll build the mythic 6 player X-Men cabinet. . I could use better quality wood and pay around the same price. I just don't really know who to contact to make... Source: about 1 year ago

• Any actually useful uses for Raspberry Pi and alternative sbc?

  So I got a Libre AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato) to play around with but all the ideas I see online are about emulating games, running a nas, running ad blocker, vpn server, 3d printer, website hosting. All these just seem like these would be better to run on an actual server or the ideas are lame, basic, and overused. I just want some useful things that only these single board computers can do to justify their purpose.... Source: about 1 year ago

• My 4-yr old son is crazy about TMNT Shredder’s Revenge. He is playing it all the time and we also play together. Can you reco another similar game we can play together?

  I don't know what it is about 4 year old boys and TMNT, but my son became a huge fan the first time he saw them. I have a retro gaming area set up in my basement and he always wants to play the TMNT arcade games. I don't know how tech savvy you are, but a retro pie isn't too hard to set up. You can probably also use the joy cons on it. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is a NES Classic good for a retro gaming feel with a CRT (w. HDMI to AV converter)

  I think the ideal solution would be something like Retropie, and they'd have all the major retro systems at higher quality than the official solutions with native 240p output. No light gun support though. Source: about 1 year ago

• Fresh install will not launch games

  I am no expert, I've only installed retropi several times on Rpi3B+. I had several setbacks, usually setting things up after initial installs, so don't be discouraged by setbacks.
