Assembling a Nintendo Entertainment System-style model from Retro Power! It's a kit built with a Raspberry Pi in mind, so you can have the fun of making a Lego model while also getting a functional case. - Here's the kit on Amazon (not sponsored or affiliated)

I'd love it if someone could alter his version like this:
1: Reposition the raspberry a lot lower (so much unused space) and bring back some real proportions too!
2: Wire the cables from the inside, make a couple detachable -Chunks- which, if placed on the bottom! would also mimic the ports of the OG NES as well! 3: Route the wires of he controllers to the correct location on he right! you'll lose a bit cable length depending on config choice, but it would look awesome. And again, more similar to the real NES.
4: do the same with HDMI and USB, To the back!
A Slight disadvantage would be plugging in/out and cable stress. but nothing a bit of hot glue can't solve! :P

Im disappointed that none of these mini game replacement systems seem to have any micro on mini fans, seriously a tiny bit of air moving and you could run that thing even harder. And get a nice soft whhrrrrr-ing hmmmm fans. All that structural space, rig in some LEDs behind that power light and make it work! also fan as above said and locked inside plastic insulation air trapping blocks. About the worst you can do for heat trapping Xp

I'm curious if you've done a video on the Raspberry Pi itself. considering it was designed primarily for schools as a nice simple way to teach kids programming but has now blown up because they were smart enough (and had the foresight enough) to make it do stuff like this.
I mean I heard about the Pi back when it was still a WiP and didn't think it would be as big as it is.

worst fault OC is out of the question for using the Pi in that case. for 8 and 16 bit console emulation is fine but when you get in to PS1, Saturn, and N64 territory the Pi needs to be OC'd to 1. 4 ghz via a txt file from 800mhz comes standard with and will need a heatsink

It's cute, but how terrible are the thermals in that case? Admittedly they probably can't be worse than the official case for the pi 4. Also, when did I become the person more interested in thermals than a case being awesome? I need to inspect my life choices.

man, i don't know if you do have a copy of it there or even if you ever heard about it anywhere but i'd totally watch a video of you playing trough the creature crunch game. It's damn fun, and I think it would be fun to see you playing through it.

With something like this, I figured you could always just switch things around inside to fit your needs and have better placement for ports. Why follow the directions to the letter? :D That's what I would do anyway.

Is it possible to load emulators for multiple consoles onto a Raspberry Pi? I saw the Better PS Classic build and I want to build one! But I wondered whether it was possible to put several emulators on to the system.

To be honest when you make videos like this I like the longer videos ( you had mentioned it took 45 mins for this build I would have watched the whole video) they are relaxing and satisfying for me

Not sure if it was the 8-Bit guy or someone else I saw do a breakdown of the original NES controller, but I believe there was a little lead weight in the original controllers to make them feel more premium.
