Anyone else crazy enough to build their own retro-gaming machine? (lemmy.world)

(figured I'd 'do my part' and make my first Lemmy post...!)

I love this thing too much to part with, but I'm gonna have to be honest: I barely use it. More often or not I retro-game on my Steam Deck...slightly more portable!

Has anyone else built their own units for retro-gaming though?

I had a Raspberry Pi setup with a little screen attached. Got some good usage but then decided to repurpose the Pi as a media server.

To be fair, that's all this is -- it's an RPi3 with a monitor, with the sticks/buttons plugged into a USB device. I originally wanted to build a proper tall cabinet for it, but I knew I'd never really have the room for it!
