For those looking for a programming challenge, simply assemble a handheld 8-bit gaming console and have a go of creating your own Arduboy game. Just install the RetroPie operating system, and follow the instructions in the manual to download the current version of GPIONext. Want a standalone unit? Install your Raspberry Pi 3B+ SBC in a mini arcade machine with a 10in screen and built-in speakers, plus included power supply. Reboot your new gaming console, and you’re ready to play! Download game ROMs to your Mac or PC from one of the many emulator sites available, then simply navigate to retropie/roms and copy the Rom files to the relevant directory (for example, NES games will go in the NES folder). Connect the Raspberry Pi to a Windows or Mac computer by configuring its Wi-Fi, or simply connecting it via Ethernet cable. Configure the controller by following the onscreen instructions and pressing the buttons in sequence as indicated. The Raspberry Pi will power up and the OS will auto-install on startup. Plug in a game controller and a suitable power supply. Connect an HDMI monitor or TV, and a USB keyboard and mouse for initial setup. Install the Raspberry Pi into a suitable casing, aligning the ports with the openings on the case. Insert the RetroPie SD card into a Raspberry Pi single-board computer (SBC). All you need to do is slot in a Raspberry Pi running RetroPie software, then load up some ROMs as below. It's not too difficult to assemble an 8-bit gaming setup, but if you'd prefer a more self-contained solution, you can always go for a two-player console with built-in controllers. Rediscover old classics and keep yourself busy while self-isolating by building and then playing your own 8-bit entertainment system.Īre you going stir-crazy because the internet is so slow with everyone working from home? Take a break from the cliché of first-person shooters and rediscover the joy of 8-bit classics.
