DIY Switch for Filthy Pirates

Buy the CORSAIR ONE PRO i200 Gaming PC at

If you want to play retro games on the go, the Creoqode Lyra looks like a good option. But does it hold up to the Kickstarters claims?

Buy a cheap emulator

Buy Rasberry Pi

"Well, first I go in at the wrong angle, and then I pull back out."


You'll get it right one day, Linus.

“Jake just has a huge collection on his server”
“Of games he physically owns”
Nice save Linus

"basically like installing a sodimm module"
Funny you should say that as it's literally a ddr2 sodimm connector. Cheaper to re-use an existing connector than to design your own.

"I strongly think that the whole thing was designed by Electrical Engineers"
As an electrical engineer I'm offended, but he's got a point

So we pay $50 more than a Switch lite for less power, less RAM, less pixels, and less assembly so we can pirate 16-bit games?

"It's only 5 inches, but it should be ok."

Not the first time I've heard that before.

[Iceteavanill]

"I think it was designed by electrical Engineers" - Never before have I been so offended by something I one hundred percent agree with.

For my money, I'd go for a PS Vita and go through the relatively straightforward process of installing a custom firmware. It's a powerful little machine with a gorgeous screen, and handles the majority of emulators like a champ, plus the build quality is lightyears ahead of stuff like this. You can pick them up second hand for a fraction of the price too.
Only real downside is the proprietary memory, but you'll be hard pressed to find a better machine to scratch that retro itch...

[kaaaallll]

This looks like a really bad product, especially for the money it goes for.

[renderedpixels]

for the ltt guys: you can drop the roms on the sd however retropie is linux based so windows cant natively read ext filesystems so its easier to toss them on a usb drive

Linus: "That wasn't me"
Alex: "That was gravity"
Aw yes arch nemesis.

[lklikea]

4:28 a Mechanical Engineer in his natural habitat, feeling superior af.

"I strongly think that this whole thing was designed by electrical engineers" Just because its true doesn't mean you gotta hurt them like that.


Edit: Yall are some very spiteful people for what was obviously a joke comment.

[EnterpriseKnight]

10:04 "Of all the games he owns physical copies of"

Of course, of course... yes

[Shadow-ighf]

Lets be honest....the DIY version was actually the prebuilt before Linus dropped it.

[bomblaster]

"Why is it so flimsy"
"Made in Britain"
Moss- "Aaaaahh"

[alessi]

"I strongly think this whole thing was made by electrical engineers" I'm shocked you'd say such a thing, how dare you! Lol

[jimmyhii]

"I strongly think the whole thing was designed by electrical engineers" LOL

[SilverScarletSpider]

I’m a filthy pirate. PS2 games, DS games, and PSP games are my favorite.

Getting a used PS Vita, PSP (final specs) or 3DS with retro would be smarter

Me: mom can we get a switch
mom: we have switch at home
