Pi Cart: a Raspberry Pi Retro Gaming Rig in an NES Cartridge

I just thought this was so cool. I bought all the supplies and will be building one next week.

That is pretty neat. I remember when the family PC could barely run an NES emulator, and you had to plug the gamepad into the sound card and everyone else had to use the keyboard controls.

Already installed it. Installed 1800 games on it already.

Nicely done! That was quick!

Thanks I got it all setup yesterday but only have nes and snes games on it so far. Going to see if I can play with it some more after work today.

I've made a few more of these for some of my firends. For a good fee of course lol. Found out that you can use a different USB hub and eliminate another cable, which makes more room in the cart. Looks a lot cleaner.

Nice. What is that new USB hub you picked out? Does that power the pi?

Yep, it powers the Pi as well as acts as a USB hub. Magical little hub it is.

You can get everything on eBay for around 65$. If you go through Amazon it will run you about 85$. I can post a link to all the parts when I get in front of a computer if interested.

Here is the Amazon link for the hub.
