Very cool. I just saw something the other day for the PiGrrl very similar to what you made here. I was into emulators back before the Raspberry Pi and it is amazing what they have done withe technology in the years since then. How did your son like it?

Haha. I remember downloading roms and warez back in my teens. I can't beleive its been almost 20 years now since I was in to all that.
No kidding. Good ole warez. I remember how much of a game changer it was when roms came out because of save states. It made it so much easier to get past those hard areas. Plus you could apply all the game genie codes you wanted to all at once. Talk about god mode!
My son likes to play it, but he is so hooked on Fortnite right now not much else matters to him. If I did it again, I would build something more like a PiGrrl 2 with the extra buttons and a hell of a lot easier to build.
Very cool. Yes, Fortnite has taken over the world. Even though it isn't accessible inside of my network the students still spend all of their free time playing it and talking about it. I haven't tried it out yet myself, but I might at some point. I'd much rather dive back into emulation and play some of the classics like Final Fantasy or Mario 3 on something like the PiGrrl 2!
