Raspberry Pi OS and RetroPie: Convert Your Old Netbook into a Portable Gaming Machine

[@MegaManNeo]

As a fan of those old netbooks (I had a Lenovo S10-3 back then), I'm happy to see someone making good use of these by turning one into a RetroPie like machine. Also that adapter is very interesting. Wondered recently too if there is anything to connect my old Wii Classic Controller to my PC but as I dunno the plug's name I gave up on that idea :,D

[@LeonAnavi]

Classic Controller should have the same plug and the open source firmware for ANAVI Handle eventually can be update with a new feature to support it using the CircuitPython library: github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Wii_Classic

more easy batocera

[@LeonAnavi]

Thanks for the recommendation. I was not familiar with batocera but I've just read about it. I will give it a try.

​@@LeonAnavi Hi ! Good video 👍 and yes Batocera is another easy option 👍

I don't think that most users would consider a nunchuck to be a viable first controller option. When your 'friend' gave you the set of ROM's, I hope that you realise that you were engaging in open piracy and the fact that you are running a Nintendo game may attract their attention.

Yes, I agree Nunchuk is not a universal controller as some games require more keys. The benefit of using an old netbook is that it actually has a keyboard which can be used for these games. Of course alternative USB controller can be also used. As for the ROMs and the emulator I am neither recommending a particular emulator, nor a web site for downloading ROMs. The video demonstrates a retro setup for own use. Some of these games are 30-40 years ago and an emulator is an accessible way to enjoy the game again.
