My Raspberry Pi Zero installed inside an old VHS cassette, it could play most 8 bit and some 16 bit systems just fine, although soon I needed more power
My Retro Gaming Projects Here are some of my old projects and Retropie builds The Retropie builds were before I discovered running Retropie on an old desktop PC is much better It's a Dell Optiplex 3040 to be precise, I may even include it in the museum at some point It has a Core i5 3.20GHz processor with 8GB of RAM, I have installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with the x86 version of Retropie and it runs everything including the Sega Saturn which no Raspberry Pi can do yet The projects are copied across from my old site and may not be relevant today, but I've included them because why not? There are 12 retro projects in the museum

I upgraded my Retropie build to a Rasperry Pi 3B+, but now I needed a new case, so rather than use the mini NES cases everyone else was using, I went a different way
Sinclairian - The ZX Spectrum on your Raspberry Pi
Sinclairian is just Raspbian + Fuse (The Free Unix Spectrum Emulator) with a dash of Retropie and some inspiration from Combian64 and Amibian thrown together into the mixing bowl
I wanted a dashcam, so I made one out of an old phone...
As 2020 was so boring, I ordered some parts for my old Mk2 Ford Focus
I randomly decided to turn an old sat nav into a travel clock for no good reason
I got bored with the very loud, but non DAB radio in my old Mk2 Ford Focus
Broken hinge dramas
How to add a reset and shutdown button to LibreELEC on the Raspberry Pi
Outdated tutorial on how to have multiple instances of Vice on Retropie, C64, Plus 4, Vic 20 etc
The original #projectphone before the battery died
The replacement #projectphonereborn before I got bored with it and moved on to other projects
The dark area
I hope you all find this as interesting and as nostalgic as I do.
And if you do, why not check out the next page in my retro museum... Recreations
Or to quicky jump to another room of the museum, click or tap on Rooms at the bottom of this screen
Special thanks to my long-suffering partner Denise for putting up with all this "nonsense".
No cats were unnecessarily annoyed during the creation of this site
Speaking of cats, did you see one here?
