In this project I will make retro game machine which can be seen at video game room(Oraksil). Not X-box, not playstation, retro game machine has joysticks and colorful button. I will use Raspberry Pi 2 as main computer for this project. Raspberry pi 2 is relatively cheap and also sufficient to run retro games.
Abstract: ‘Maker movement’ is the one of the hot keyword in Tech fields nowadays. Because of the evolution of manufacturing machinery such as 3D printer, 3D scanner, CNC machine, laser cutter, people can use these machinery with low cost. Also lots of sources are in web. People can find hardware design source, software source code, and its documents. People naturally have a motivation of making and creating something. This traditional motivation meets technology revolution so that maker movement emerged.
In this project I will make retro game machine which can be seen at video game room(Oraksil). Not X-box, not playstation, retro game machine has joysticks and colorful button. I will use Raspberry Pi 2 as main computer for this project. Raspberry pi 2 is relatively cheap and also sufficient to run retro games. Joystick and button can be found at open market like Gmarket, 11st. The most important hardware and software setting process could be searched at Maker forum. After making game machine, I will connect it to big screen at Business administration building. It will be free to play.
Furthermore, it will be fun if I use student union building wall as a screen with beam projector at night. I hope UNIST member to enjoy my game machine and remind their memories of childhood.
