HPR4161: Building a retro gaming console with a Raspberry Pi


Listen Later

Kevie, co-host of TuxJam, continues his series on uses for the Raspberry Pi with a talk about his experience of making a retro gaming console using the Raspberry Pi.

For the initial build I used:

  • SuperPi Case: £22.50
  • Retroflag Controller (x2): £27
  • Pi 4 Model B: £75
  • Heatsinks: £3.50
  • 30mm Fan: £3
  • Power Supply: £9
  • HDMI Adapter: £4
  • 64GB MicroSD Card: £7.50
  • Total price: £151.50
  • In retrospect I would now recommend purchasing a Raspberry Pi 5 and use an NVMe SSD Drive for storage, also with a suitable case to hold these. I would also recommend a joypad with thumb sticks, such as the 8BitDo Pro 2.
