Heck yea, I am a retro enthusiast. I currently have a PiBoy DMG running emulation staion and a customized version of Raspberry Pi OS w/ joycon and buttons mapped to a mouse emulation - its a nice form factor for having a portable Linux-box in the field... I still get looks when I whip out a 'gameboy' to do some actual work. :P

I stick to mostly 8bit and 16bit platforms, so the Pi 4 is more than enough for me...

I also have a few retro computer setups; of course, a C=128 for all my Commodore needs - an Apple g4 basketball w/ MacOS 9 - an antique Philco Predicta television that runs both some Python script for random vintage videos, and can serve up PONG - I retrofitted an old PONG controller w/ a Pi Pico so it feels right.

I have a couple other machines that bring me back to the 486 MS-DOS days. :P

Nice to know theres other folks that are into this hobby - cheers!
