[RetroGaming] Make mini arcade with Orange Pi
Edited by shim80 at 2017-7-18 14:27Hi, everyone!!!
I'm a serious fan of old consoles, and a retro gaming lover!
So, when I see a tiny single board computer (like *zero family), I think "gamingamingaming"...
Okay, wait... I already know what is the capability of Allwinner SoC (and Mali GPU...). Obviously, I don't expect to play Rise of f***ing Tomb Raider at 60 FPS
on 4.8cm x 4.6cm computer (if only...). But you know, except all recents (~> 2001) PC games and consoles of 6th, 7th and 8th gen, you have many thousands games to play!!
So, my objective is: Make a 3d printed mini arcade machine with a Orange Pi Zero 2+ inside.
Why Zero 2+ ? Because he the most tiny and the most powerful (H5 version) sbc of Orange family.
Then, I'll install the Orange version of retropie (see here the fantastic work!http://www.retrorangepi.org ),
and make it playable with arcade joystick.
I'm not sure if these retropie versions will be compatible with the Allwinner H5 SoC, but if yes, it will be better emulation for PSP and DS (thank to mali 450 GPU!). If not, then I should use the H3 version for better compability...
I already have the 3d models ready to be printed (some problems with my printer, but wiil be fixed soon...). You can see the concept model below:

So? Do you think is it a good and interesting project? Or you think I'm a poor stupid nostalgic addicted to video games?
I voted "3.Naah. Old games are ugly...", not because old games are ugly.
There is no RetrOrangePI for the H5. Hence the best platform for this would be a H3, a OPI PC or OPI PC+. Okay. So I just need to use Orange Pi Zero 2+ H3 version shim80 replied at 2017-7-18 11:17

see my post above above
I like to play games on my phone because the phone is always with me and I can play anywhere, I’m rarely at home, so the phone is my salvation. Now mobile gaming is developing and I like a large number of games, I recently learned about how games were created, click here if you are interested in learning more. It was not interesting for me to read this post as it also talks about the games that I often played and play. Despite the fact that I've only just started playing at the casino, I've already earned a tidy profit. I'm having troubles as a consequence of my inability to locate a trustworthy review site https://iecasimile.com/ for the best casinos. A variety of factors affected my selection, including the ease with which cash could be withdrawn, the variety of slot machines accessible, and the amount necessary to make a deposit. I'm a great believer in money and good fortune. Despite the fact that I've only just started playing at the casino, I've already earned a tidy profit.
