“Made yet another Raspberry Pi Based Retro Game Console
The IDEA here was to make a portable handheld gaming console that can run RETRO Games like Contra, Pokemon, Super Mario ETC.
For Display, I’ve used a 4 inch Car Monitor Display which is controlled by Composit PAL output.
As for the emulation OS, I used RECALBOX as it comes with many preinstalled games.
In this article, I’m gonna show you guys the whole built process for this Retro Game Console.
