Build Your Own Retro Pie Console for under £50!!
Mamemeister
Why buy one of these greedily over priced Retro Pie consoles when you can easily build your own for under £50. I’m the least technical bloke you could meet and it’s dead easy. Thanks to my mate Neil for some techy advice.
Also thanks to Mark the Morose for the followingh info on charger.
Regarding the USB (phone) charger. It needs to be 5 volts, and the Raspberry Pi Foundation recommend it should be rated at 700ma for a R-Pi 1. For a R-Pi 2 or 3 it should be rated 2000ma (2 amp) or higher.
