Aside from the hardware, another important aspect of a retro gaming machine is the emulator- the software that runs retro games. For as low as $50, you can already build your own retro gaming machine which is one of the most popular projects built with SBCs. SBCs (Single Board Computers), such as Raspberry Pis, is a favorite platform of the DIY community in building a retro gaming machine because they’re compact and inexpensive. Even the new generation of gamers are enjoying the vintage feel of retro games which is a breather for some from the graphic-intensive contemporary games.

Despite the rise of modern computer games, many are still allured by the retro games’ nostalgic charm that brings back fun childhood memories in the arcades.
