Build your OWN retro game console with a Raspberry Pi!

Is it possible to have more fun building your game console than playing it? And heck, maybe we can build a game console that plays more retro games than a brand new Switch! It’s certainly more open.

Here’s all the equipment I used or purchased (affiliate links):

– Weller WES51 Soldering Station:
– Menda Alcohol container (for my isopropyl alcohol):
– WS-5 Adjustable stripper:
– Dowell Micro cutter:
– Hakko long-nose pliers:
– Hakko CHP 7-SA Tweezers (for SMD components):
– APT 1mm 1″ Kapton heat-resistant tape:
