Retro Gaming System Ideas Wanted

I bought a Sega Mini a month ago. I can mod that simple enough.

Curious what you nerds think the best option is for incorporating Sega, NES, Super NES, N64, etc all in one?

Been wanting to do a Pi build. I haven't looked yet... but I'm assuming there are some slick knockoff cases you can buy online to house the circuit board?

Cool site. Slick use of the cartridge slot for SSD.

just a heads up OP if you go the Raspberry Pi route, N64 emulation isn't what it should be

NES, SNES, GB(C), GBA, MS, MD/G, GG all run flawlessly

there are a lot of PSX games that run good even but N64 doesn't

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 B, maybe some brahs with a RP 4 can comment on this?

Pi is garbage. If you want to emulate most of those less N64 but +Playstation (eventually) go with Mister FPGA. I've got the SNAC attachments for NES, SNES, Neo Geo so zero lag gaming (none of that USB garbage).

Corolla vs Porche. If he does anything technical like Kaizo Mario World, he'll wish he had bought something better.

Stay away from pi, it's too weak.

Get an Nvidia shield.

This. Have a shield pro, it’s cool for several uses, including emulation.
Lifts:
Squat: 460x1
Bench: 400x1
Deadlift: 575x1
OHP: 250x2
Weight: 180 lbs.

Don't have heroes; look up to no one. Because as long as someone's leading the way, the best you'll ever be is second.
