This is the official Lemmy community for Retro Warriors podcast. We're a weekly retro gaming podcast. No corporate sponsors, just us talking about games we like!
While this will be a place for show-related discussion, it's also a place for celebrating, discussing, and sharing stuff about retro games.
Rules
Just wanted to share my old retro game cart I built several years ago in my old house. I eventually moved to (mostly) emulation for convenience and because the cart didn't get used enough to justify the effort and space that it required. But for a few glorious years there it was pretty cool!
Anyone built out a movable gaming cart like this for your retro stuff?
That setup is amazing!
I'm also on emulation atm but this does make me want to set up the Wii for homebrew again
The Wii is a great sort of in-between for emulation. Even outputs proper 240p!
I built one… for modern stuff. I got an IKEA utility cart, added a 27” monitor on top connected to a Steam Deck, Switch, PS5 and sometimes my desktop PC (it doesn’t go on the cart unfortunately).
I love setups like these! I almost never win the tv war at home, so I can have something on the side to play while watching something else with family.
I also love mobile setups like this. It's nice to be able to be modular and movable for hobbies. Being chained to one area of the house can be a real pain if you don't live alone.
