Nintendo’s is all the rage right now. Unfortunately, it isn’t set to launch until September 29, 2017, and it's almost right now. Fortunately, we can show you how to build your own little SNES Classic emulator using a Raspberry Pi mini-computer right now. What You’ll Need • Super Tinytendo Case with Cooling Fan • Raspberry Pi 3 Model B • iBuffalo classic USB gamepad • 5V 2.5A power supply • Micro SD card • USB stick • HDMI cable • Philips head screwdriver Note: We want to strongly state that we do not condone piracy in any way.
