The Internet is a place full of a large number of projects that are extremely interesting, we have seen how there are some that offer really interesting complete systems while others use a SBC to create a brand new device. In this case, it is possible that it is not new, but it is extremely particular because it is a console retro that works through a Raspberry Pi… but it hangs in the blooming As if it were an image.
Retro consoles have managed to become something that everyone may want, not only because of the ability he has to revive old days, also because of how he turns out to be creating a zero with a series of basic components. Many of them use a personalized box to offer an old aesthetic, but there are also those who seek directly to look like works of art, and in this case, the project they created from the YouTube Adafruit Industries channel is more than striking, because it looks like a painting, but it is really a game console.
This retro console is not only functional, it is also an impressive decoration
For many people, retro games are always in the order of the day, one of the main reasons is not because they are easy to execute in any emulator, but it rather has to do with the fact that they are fun and it is not necessary to invest a lot of money to play them. Several times, it's as simple as starting a Raspberry Pi to start enjoying a wide variety of old titles, but it is clear that there are levels, and this project is surely at the highest level of originality.
And in this case, John Park used a Raspberry Pi 5 To create a wall leisure machine that uses a series of RGB LED panels as a main screen, managed to get an attractive appearance that has fun at the same time. In this case, the creator indicates that it is a real recreational machine which allows us to connect USB controls to play in any case that the Raspberry Pi is able to perform, they are generally games in the sixth generation (Sega Dreamcast, Gamecube), being the only limitation which has the visualization capacities whose screen A, although it does not affect most of the old games.
In this case, the Raspberry Pi 5 Control several panels HUB75 RVB Although its turn also performs the operating system used to play, and although it seems a joke, it also has a song from Ikea, the frame used to hang it on the wall. Obviously, in addition to that, it also has some custom printed parts that allow everything to be assembled such as the supports that form the complete design.
To enter in more detail, use a Raspberry Pi 5 of 4GB Connected to four 64 x 64 pixel LED matrix matrix panels via an ADAFRUIT RGB controller which is responsible for the energy supply and data transmission to screens. The audio for its part simply works by an external USB speaker.
