As much as I have nostalgia and love for the American SNES who the hell fumbled that blocky design. I'm gonna grab one of those ^
Edit: Doesn't look like that heatsink will fit the 3 B+

Oh, I am an idiot. I must have been in here before and forgot to read the OP ages ago. RIP
Thanks again
I think he is making a seperate heatssink for purchase later on, considering there are more 3b's than 3b+'s
:O :O :O
6 buttons, joystick, battery and sound. holy shit!
That's really cool. Pretty much exactly what I've wanted out of a handheld pi setup. Really would like to see a kit / pricing for that.
I put together an FM radio streaming box out of a spare pi a few weeks ago.
I've turned one into a IR alarm that tweets pics using python, OSMC is great too.
I want my next project to be a mini pinball or 2 player air hockey game.
Messaged the Flirc case guy asking about a revision for the 3 B+, I'll let you guys know if I get an answer.
I was thinking of going the ODROID-N1 when released and maybe a 64GB eMMC card.
Was that your plan, too? Pi3 is fine and all, but the specs don't come near the N1's.
I really want to do a pinball project.
As far as I could tell there's not anything good as far as pinball on the pi. My best solution is steam in home streaming Pinball Arcade.
Was thinking of aphysicsl machine ;) with motors.
But this guy did a virtual pinball using the lattepanda, pretty cool: https://circuitbeard.co.uk/
As the OP says, model 3 runs PS1 really well, and n64 + DC ok too. But what about Sega Saturn?
I'm trying to wait for model 4 in a year or 2, but I miss some of my Saturn games. I do have both a Saturn and a gaming pc, but for some reason I would like them inproved, and easy tu use on my bedroom tv :P
Edit, I recently sold my Dreamcast console, but kept some games and a controller for nostalgia reasons. I reallt should try to wait for the model 4 I guess :)

I have a pi 3 which is great but I'm hoping to get an N64 cart reader once they're back in stock at Dragon box and the Pi3 doesn't seem to run N64 games that well so I was looking into the systems more powerful counterparts
My Western Digital MyCloud is completely unreliable. I would love to turn an unused external USB drive into a NAS. Any advice on OS and software for the Pi 3b to accommodate this?
Wow, that is incredible!
Has he uploaded his plans for the laser cutting anywhere?

Is it possible to make retropie see an external drive as the ROM location?
My biggest hangup here is the external drive in question will only have 1 file on it and its impossible to add a folder structure to it.
My first thought is a symbolic link is that possible in the retropie environment? edit: looks like its entirely possible I'm going to try it.

Friend of mine has a laser cutter and got pretty excited when I showed him that thing.
Might go for a larger build that I can build with MDF.
Thanks for sharing that!
Any recommendations for a subtle scanlines filter on Retropie/arch that doesn't darken the screen too much? I tried several of them but never found one I liked better than default settings.
On Retropie your best options for scanlines are either an overlay that includes them or the crt-pi shader.
I like crt-pi! I want to keep tweaking the parameters to make it a little brighter (or at least get whiter whites) but it looks pretty damn good, especially for arcade games.
Finally got this working
1. Had to replace the USB cable the one it shipped with for some reason was causing a power surge
2. Had to edit the emulationstation.cfg file to point to /media/usb0 for SNES games
3. Had to edit the startup script to add a delay otherwise it wouldn't mount before retroarch scanned for games
4. Had to clean the connectors because it was acting finicky and not seeing everything
Now I can run SNES games straight form the cart on the Pi

Wait,, so you are running the game cart from Retode to the Pi?

Pretty cool, now you just need to take the retrode out of it's case and make a custom one that can house the pi in it for a complete all in one SNES.
This is my next project if I can find an equivalent pcb here in China
Will probably dremel in more buttons though
Yes sir aside from some slight slowness it works great too
While that sounds awesome it also sounds difficult too xP
Has anyone here set up an Odroid XU4 yet?
I have a raspi 3 running recalbox that I love for everything but N64. I know N64 emulation is always iffy with the software not being that great, but I was wondering if the horsepower of the XU4 is enough to brute force the vast majority of N64 games into running well on it?
Same question for Dreamcast too.

Cool, added to the OP of community projects:
Made something with a Raspberry Pi? Send me PM! Projects will be listed here!
- Fredrik's custom arcade machine
- IMACOMPUTA's aracde machine
- IMACONPUTA's two player arcade stick machine
- MRORANGE's mini arcade machine
- spacemonkey's used kit to make hit Picade and PiGirl
- Fularu's NEO GEO arcade machine
- Bomblord's portable lcd gaming system
- EdwardTheHumanMember's Gamboy Model 3
- KojiKnight's modded NES Pi zero controller
- blastprocessed's arcade machine
- Drain You's LCD/ PS4 Dualshock set-up
- Bomblord's Retrode / Pi combo set-up
Yes N64 and Dreamcast will run much better, you are looking at least 30fps stable.
Pre-order: Super Ursus for Raspberry Pi 3 B/B+
20% Discount: kintarofamily
Mine cost about £22.75 altogether, a bit expensive for a cast but it's got a ton of features plus the power reset switch and heatsink make it worth in the long run.

Hmm, currently rocking an old Nespie case for my 3b+ this is mighty tempting
