Classic game console.. Rasberry pi 4. 135,000 games up to Gamecube era. ***UPDATE in OP***

Just ordered it, kind of excited.

Yes, I'm sure I could have built one.. but for the price and the work seemed worth it just to buy.






***Update***

Ok, so to start off this thing is awesome. Gonna break my review into a few sections.

1. Hardware

The little case is pretty nice. It's not awesome or anything, but it's well made out of several thick layers of cut acrylic and is sturdy. Has some rubber feet to keep it from sliding around that work good.

The controllers are much nicer than expected. They are the iNNext brand and the buttons and dpad feel great and it feels solid overall. I can throw it when I get angry like a kid. Only downside is they are wire and only six feet. But you could get a usb extension or buy some wireless ones and have these as extras.

Power cord has a built in on/off switch, so after you safely shut it down in the software you can just click the button on the power cord to shut of the Pi.

Fan is extremely quiet.

2. Setting up

Easy and booted right up as expected, no issues. Heard you want to put the hdmi cable in the slot next to the power port or you may have no audio. I did and no audio issues.

3.Game Select Menu Layout

Pretty slick main menu to select the console. Game select menu is bland, no artwork or previews. But I expected this as this is how they fit so many games on it. They offer some others that have less games (but still the most popular) that do come with artwork and previews.





4. Games

So I counted 65 different consoles. I'm not going to list how many games each console has. But if you would like to know a specific one or if a specific game is there I'll let you know.

But to give you an idea

Dreamcast - 11 games
Sega - 1699
Nintendo 64 - 302
NES - 3697
Playstation - 32
Sega CD - 5
Sega 32x - 36
SNES - 3303

Gamegear - 661
Gameboy - 988
Gameboy advance - 1740

5. Gameplay

So far I've only played a few, but everything works good on the ones I've tried except the controllers are probably going to have to be set up to work with games they arent meant for.

But that's to be expected. Playing N64 mario cart with a snes controller means you may need to set some buttons to do what you want, etc.

Tried N64 mario kart, medal of honor on PS1, and mortal kombat on sega. All worked great.

Let me know if ya have any other questions.
