Nice. I want one.
Are you willing to take orders and be paid in Steem :P. I will pay you a commission and shipping hah.

I actually thought of that, and was originally planning on opening a store for various maker projects (I'm working on a big crypto arbitrage desktop monitor) but the broken SBD peg kind of killed the idea. Although I could do something where I charge USD and calculate STEEM/SBD price on checkout.
Just not sure there would be enough demand to be worth it.

Probably not enough demand for the gaming console. However, an eCommerce solution with Steem payments could have a lot of demand.
I would start one if I could figure out how to reliably source goods from a drop shipper.

To me the good's sourcing part would be the easy part, just follow the shopify/amazon models loads of people are using. The hard part would be the payment/checkout system, as @themarkymark mentioned the SBD peg, if it ever gets fixed, it would be much easier to do.

Very cool. I just saw something the other day for the PiGrrl very similar to what you made here. I was into emulators back before the Raspberry Pi and it is amazing what they have done withe technology in the years since then. How did your son like it?

Haha. I remember downloading roms and warez back in my teens. I can't beleive its been almost 20 years now since I was in to all that.

No kidding. Good ole warez. I remember how much of a game changer it was when roms came out because of save states. It made it so much easier to get past those hard areas. Plus you could apply all the game genie codes you wanted to all at once. Talk about god mode!

My son likes to play it, but he is so hooked on Fortnite right now not much else matters to him. If I did it again, I would build something more like a PiGrrl 2 with the extra buttons and a hell of a lot easier to build.

Very cool. Yes, Fortnite has taken over the world. Even though it isn't accessible inside of my network the students still spend all of their free time playing it and talking about it. I haven't tried it out yet myself, but I might at some point. I'd much rather dive back into emulation and play some of the classics like Final Fantasy or Mario 3 on something like the PiGrrl 2!

Retro Pi is so good. I had my rPi set up for dual-boot between retro-pi and Kodi. These little computers are amazing. No wonder the pi series is the new all-time best selling computer ever.

haha true. I've got a few kicking around right now actually. One that I'm working on setting up a MagicMirror build, another one where I'm going to use for my camper-van build that is the interface for the AutoPi dongle I've ordered, and another one for building a Mycroft voice assistant... Couldn't hurt to get another though....
On a somewhat related note -- I was tinkering around with one last night, and was having a hard time getting the official steem python library to install (running raspbian stretch, and couldn't get pip3 to install it)... Do you have any experience with getting steem-python / steempy running on a pi?

Damn, they open sourced the Automatic Dongle! I love it.
https://www.automatic.com/
I have not tried to put Steem-Python library on Raspberry Pi, but should be similar to Ubuntu.
sudo apt install libffi-dev libssl-dev python3 python3-dev python3-pip

Oh man -- wish I saw this Automatic Dongle before I saw the AutoPi (a bit more expensive). Both seem like they generally have the same capability.
yeah maybe I just forgot to install the dependencies. I'll try again tonight -- maybe I'll have a bit less beer beforehand this time.
Thanks, dude.

I love seeing maker projects and admiring the creativity and hard work that goes into them. I can get the guts of projects to work but always have issues with enclosures and making it look decent. If I ever attempted something like this it would work but be held together with duct tape!!

Nope, same account, I just change the name on a server basis, so most steemit Discords I show up as TheMarkyMark, otherwise Malcolm Reynolds.

Super article. I am under recalbox with a pc, and I will mount a rasberry pie 3 to put a console in our living room. The version on pc is more powerful bitch to the graphics card which allows to play with n64, dreamcast without problem. I just made an article about retrogaming, and different ways existing.
I would also like to make a portable version as you indicated, and may be more atrd mount a pad acrade see a terminal (I look already forums that explains all that ^ ^). thank you for your article very interesting. upvoted and follow ^^
