Modder Turns Broken PS4 Controller Into a Retro Games Console | Retro Dodo (retrododo.com)

A modder has successfully turned a broken PlayStation 4 controller into a retro gaming console using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. The project, spearheaded by ConsciousFish6170, involves placing a Raspberry Pi 2 inside a partially hollowed-out PS4 controller.

The setup uses RetroPie as the emulator, supporting numerous classic systems such as NES, SNES, PS1, GBA, and N64. However, it's noted that performance with N64 games is currently suboptimal.

Check out the original article for a link to ConsciousFish’s Reddit page with details of the project.

How might this project inspire you to reuse or repurpose old gaming hardware in interesting ways?
