How to Build Your Own Mini SNES

Plenty of people—us included—would love a tiny system to play our favorite Super Nintendo games. Thanks to the magic of Raspberry Pi, emulators, and a little bit of nerdery, you can build your own mini SNES, complete with controllers, for under $100.

I'm have some trouble. I made the retropie folder and inserted it back into the pi but it doesn't seem to be creating the folders like it's supposed to. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Never knew how to do it, was considering it since the Pi is cheap and small. But now I know, thanks a lot :D

Do you have to use one emulator at a time? or can you have multiple?

[iamnotsure]

Is there any way to swap the a and b buttons? I would definitely prefer it

A Raspberry Pi 3 is overkill for SNES.

[LandSquid-nsds]

Can someone help me? Win32 won't let me write to the SD card and if I use etcher it doesn't read the card. I'm really frustrated and it won't work.

but this is just making a RetroPi Raspberry Pi. a snes mini would be probably a raspberry with a custom case to look like a snes, it would also most likely just have snes games on it to fit the theme

[A..D..D]

Can the pi 3 play Playstation 2 or MAME?

[Seeithere]

can you please do a video for sega gensis. Thanks

[peregrine]

Can you do this with Raspberry Pi zero?
