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

But does it have the original Tecmo Bowl and Super Tecmo Bowl games?

Theres so many... I liked the ninja turtle games, NHL live 95, nba live 95, tecmo bowl and super tecmo bowl.

There was some western game on sega I loved.

Alot of the ones you listed.

Battletoads, nba jam, x-men....

Let's say 100000 out of the 135000 work well enough to play

That's 0.0016 cents per game... lol.

How much did the Wii cost you

---

The Wii I modded was free hand me up from nephew. I had a Wii when they first came out. Im pretty sure you can buy used Wiis all day for $35.

Modded Wii is incredibly underrated. There is no hardware needed except external HD (must be compatible!) But you can get by with just SD card for about 4 games. Different controllers are the other cost.

The big difference between Modded Wii and Raspberry Pi is the Wii will play/emulate like factory where Pi you have to memorize button combinations and modifiers to navigate menus and saves. The Pi has all kinds of different quirks with navigation.

Seriously anyone with a Wii laying around, I followed these exact: soft modding Wii with Homebrew

i just read the OP and replied. i haven't gone through all 3 pages

i have N64 tweaked on my pi4 running super mario 64 and others games at full speed on my 20" 1600x1200 Dell monitor and the graphics look WAY BETTER than they did back in the day on an old CRT. i'll post a screenshot if you're interested.

i have this in an arcade1up unit so i mostly enjoy the nostalgia of playing the arcade games. I have EmulationStation collections by year starting at 1976 and i've been systematically working my way up through the 80s. incredible feeling to start a game up you didn't remember you played until you get back into it. boy some of these games bring me back to my misspent youth.

the atari 2600s, colecovision, intellivsion, amiga, pc ports, nintendos, segas, etc. are all icing on the cake and it did take me quite a bit of time to get each dialed in.

don't get upset if your favorite game doesn't work; more than likely you can swap emulators (very easy to do) esp. arcade games until you find one it works under. usually bundles like you bought will attempt to match these up to the emulator that works best (there are about 5 arcade emulators at the moment) but if its missing the audio or painted backdrop or something i can get it to you so you can enjoy.

its just too complex to have everything working 100% but you'll have a blast with what does work and if you decide to send it back & roll your own pi i can help with that.

the nice thing is if you have a pc or mac once you get the pi connected to your wifi you can access the key pi folders right on your desktop and modify files with your favorite text editor & drop new ROMs on it, etc.

its intimidating at first then you start to get the feel for how everything connects together & it gets easier to maintain it.

PROTIP - whatever you do don't click 'update retropie' thinking that will make things run better..more than likely you'll brick your setup and without a backup image for the sd card you'll be SOL. thats the other downside of this approach; i burn the sd images on my PC and if it all goes to shite, i just reformat it and drop a fresh image on it.

eta the pi4 is cool as shite.

Any update on your experiences NATide ?

Also, the company that sells it also sells just the sd card loaded with retropie and the games for like 60 dollars


I didnt see this til after, but would be a good option if you wanted to buy your on raspberry pi, custom case, and controllers but didnt want to go through the hassle of setting up retropie and downloading all the games.

I kinda guess these controllers are gonna be crap and I'll end up buying others.

That is seriously tempting.

Reliving the days of playing FFII and FFIII would be nice.
