    I have absolutely no use for something like that. But I’ll probably end up buying one anyway, provided the final price is still reasonable.

    Reminded me slightly of another project about to seek funding, the Raspberry Pi 5 powered Pilet.

    Thats actually pretty cool, they say they are going to make the the files to build your own extensions open source so i wonder if more complex controllers can be attached, stuff like twin sticks and such for better emulation compatibility, i dont know tho how the specs are for emulation

    Seems to be a decent amount of hardware for the price.
