Building my own mini console Anonymous 2017-08-17 10:31:49 Post No. 4196072 [Report]

Fuck Sega and Nintendo for baiting us with their new mini-consoles and then under-supplying to get all that free publicity for what turns out top be crappy little emulators in substandard casings. Wankers.
.
I'm buying a 3D printer to make my own. The only problem is I'm a tech-retard and I don't want to miss anything when build it.

So I was going to make either a scaled down original style Japanese Megedrive with a Mega CD unit underneath to put a hard-drive in, or a Japanese style snes and I'll design a mock cd unit for underneath, similar to the pic I posted.

What would /vr/ build?

What computer shall I install in it? rasberri pi or strip an old laptop (then I might also install some sort of flip out screen?)

Any and all advice welcome

If you just want a SNES/Gen machine then a Pi would do. Otherwise I'd build a mini-ITX PC with a proper case and maybe get some ornaments or shit made out of resin or plastic or w/e they use and paste them over the case if you really want that old console aesthetic. There's a big PC case modding scene and they've done things more far out than "old console", maybe google that stuff for inspiration.
