NEW GUIDE: John Park’s NES Cart RetroPie Game Console @adafruit @johnedgarpark #adafruit
In this new guide, you’ll learn to re-purpose an old game cartridge to build a retro, stylish enclosure and hand grip for a tiny-yet-awesome RetroPie gaming console! All based on a Raspberry Pi Zero and the Joy Bonnet for plug-and-play controls.
The Pi Zero-based RetroPie has enough power to run emulators for GameBoy, NES, Atari 2600, and even SNES! Plus, you can decorate them however you like, and they’re cheap enough to make as a nice, custom gift — especially for friends who were stymied by worldwide shortages of official retro gaming consoles…
Check out the guide, and have fun building and playing your own NES Cart RetroPie Game Console!
You can also take a look at the build video from John Park’s Workshop Live:
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
