Here are the systems that are compatible if you wish to add more roms: Arcade/MAME NES FDS (Family Computer Disk System, connected to Famicom, the Japanese NES) SNES Sega Master System PlayStation (1) Sega Genesis Game Boy Game Boy Advance Atari 7800 Game Boy Color PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16) Atari 26...

Here's everything I included on Philaflava's build: NES (complete North American library) SNES (complete NA library) Sega Genesis (complete NA library) TurboGrafx-16 (complete library) <- referred to as PC Engine on the system menu Atari 2600 (complete library) A couple of PS1 games, Final Fantasy T...

Just to give people a better idea of what they'll be getting... Here's a stock image of the case I use for these builds: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41tq1ogcUKL.jpg Here's an uncased Pi 3 in someone's hand for scale: http://tech.scargill.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Raspberry-...

Well basically, I'd opt for any NES-like controller over the PS3, since that is what I'll be playing most NES games. If it's also more convenient since I don't have to sync or power off/on with controller, then it's a win win. Well, you can't power on with a PS3 controller anyway. Regardless of wha...

Are PS3 controllers the only ones that would be compatible with this Pi unit? I was hoping a USB NES or Genesis controller would work since most of these games require 2 buttons at most. Yes, those should work. I have one and will test tonight. I can confirm that this controller works with no addit...

The parts have arrived!

PM sent. In efforts to help you sell these, since I'm sure there will be a demand, why don't you list everything you're getting? Not every game but maybe every system with a few highlights. I think that might help generate more interest for those on the fence. The only systems I have full libraries...

Philaflava wrote:When do you think you can hammer these out? I'm getting a semi thinking about it.

Haha, I just ordered the parts to build three, should be here Tuesday. The selling price is $100, shipped. I'm assuming you guys all use PayPal. PM me for the payment details.

Would you guys all be cool with using your own PS3 controllers? That would obviously keep the cost down considerably.

Yes, it is plug and play. Basically just plug in HDMI and power, plug in or sync your controllers and play. Once you've synced a PS3 controller, it remembers and doesn't need to be re-synced every time, you just turn the controller on and it pairs up (unless you pair it back to a PS3 or something, a...

I don't know what that means but anything retro interests me. A Raspberry Pi is a credit card sized computer board that sells for $35. They were originally developed as a cheap platform to teach computer science in schools, but they caught on and are being used as the basis for all kinds of compute...

Voted Zelda

I was thinking of making Raspberry Pi retro consoles as a side-biz / hobby. Phila, does this interest you at all?

Yeah, I was pretty excited to replay it when they made it BC, but Xcom 2 comes out in Sept so I'll probably just wait for that.

It is too small for the standard NES cartridges:

Sounds like you won't be able to add any games to that mini NES: http://www.polygon.com/2016/7/14/12193472/mini-nes-classic-edition-faq-nintendo" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I'll probably take a pass even though this is a cool looking device.

School me on these modded Wii's I see them on ebay fairly cheap. I assume you can save your game progress anywhere? Looks like NES, SNES, Genesis, and N64 libraries? Can you still play Wii and GameCube discs? Yes, the Wii maintains all of its original functionality. Modding a Wii basically consists...

There also this option which I highly recommend:

Requires a bit of DIY.

Philaflava wrote:Super C is Contra 2, no?

Correct, and it is a really solid game, but not as good as the OG.

I noticed that the description of the mini NES mentions 'pre-loaded' games. I wonder if they will allow you to expand the game library through some official means?

Came back to post about that ^^^ Still no Contra though :fail: I wonder how long it will take for someone to mod one of these so you can add more games to it? They did a pretty respectable job on the game selection. I would replace Castlevania II with III, Tecmo Bowl with Tecmo Super Bowl, Super C w...

Started up a new game of this on Xbox One. I've been getting sucked into just playing Texas Hold 'em for hours, LOL.

I thought you modded your Wii? You could run an NES emulator with every game ever, but maybe it's not something you want to show your son from a moral standpoint (how to pirate games). These retro systems are cool if you still have your old NES games. The Retron 5, which is a bit more expensive, sup...

On Lordz of Brooklyn's only notable single "Saturday Nite Fever", 'crazy white boy' Admoney has the line 'So tell me right now nigga / who's the mack?' but the n-word was flipped.

Looks like they've fulfilled my wishlist. RDR just went up today and is on sale for $7.49 for Gold members.

Now backward compatible on Xbox One! I just copped the digital version for $7.49.

I remember getting the 12" for Eminem's 'My Name Is' and the lyrics were changed on the album version. From wikipedia: Before The Slim Shady LP was released, an uncensored version was available on the Internet. The original lyrics on the dirty version of the song were: "Extra-terrestrial, killing pe...

Currently I'm eyeing the following: Mafia III - Never played the original, but the second one was a solid game and this one looks like it will have much more going on. Ghost Recon Wildlands - Intrigued by the open world setting Forza Horizon 3 - Much prefer the more arcade style handling and 'drive ...
