Yup, although, despite doing fuck all today, I haven't plugged it in yet. The fucking ridiculous cable length is part of the issue, I'm not sure where I'm going to play it; the cable kinda rules out the living room telly. It's kinda pissed me off; working out where and how to set it up shouldn't be a fucking hassle.danclarke wrote:Anyone else get one of these?

I've no idea about the details, prices etc. of any of this stuff, but am intrigued by this possibility. A proper retro machine is appealing. Not sure when I'll get round to it mind.Skerret wrote:RaspPie and RetroPie it is.

I had a tune stuck in my head for a long long time, I only found out last year it was from GB Super Mario Land, a game I haven't touched for over 15 years. No idea how that happens.

The NES thing looks nice, but pretty limited since you can't add any further games to it.
That seems acceptable. Would presumably need to add a HDMI cable as well.Yossarian wrote:This here, plus pretty much any USB joystick and you'll be good to go. Takes a bit of faffing to get set up, but will emulate up to PS1 era, possibly a little beyond (although you may have to think about cooling and the size of the memory card when you start getting into disk-based and 3D games).
