The recycling of an old arcade machine and even a television tube to make an extra screen is that if you are handyman, can substitute its own. You dare!
Game Super Pi
When moving on to more complete consoles using our Raspberri Pi, why settle for a basic GameBoy if we can improve the original? Using a 3D printer and a 5-inch screen, the Raspberri Pi becomes a handheld control with 12 buttons, a joystick and stereo to speakers.
