Is that a motherfuckin Compaq Presario 5000 keyboard?
I don’t know, I got it for $2 at a thrift shop this weekend. It’s a compaq for sure. I got it to go with my early 90s IBM mouse. I got so excited I forgot to research it. I will definitely be doing that after work
I played so much Runescape on that keyboard. The actual old school Runescape, where your character was a shitty little sprite.
I really need to try to play it. My computer lab at school growing up was lacking. We had Oregon trail, chopper commando, etc.
I haven’t played a ton of old games besides doom, Age of empires, etc.
Although I played Warcraft and original counterstrike at a pc bong once.
My main experience with older pc games is like 2002-2007, when I finally was able to save and buy my own PC.
what is that gameboy clone?
It’s a case for a raspberry pi zero 2. It’s the retroflag GPI case.
It runs full Linux/retropie that you have to install and set up. You have to get the pi/sd card/batteries yourself. But i prefer it to the cheap TikTok ones. The support is really good and they’ve sent me spare parts
The new version can use a dock for your TV
Is it powerful enough to use the more complex GB shaders in retropie?
I’m guessing yeah, unless they’re more costly than the PS1 because it can handle that well. I just haven’t messed with shaders much. I found this green one and kinda stuck with it. I need to do more exploring with it because I’ve had it for about 4 years now. I originally had a pi zero 1W in it, but I upgraded when the 2 came out.
I think the newest version of the case can take the pi compute module so you might have even more power with that
sweet. it’s cute! thanks!
