I wonder about this a lot. Whether there’s still an audience. Whether people would be interested and all that. I’m terrified of opening my establishment and nobody coming. Just like in this video:
I don’t have the patience to find CRT TVs that are worth it. So I’d just use LCDs. The controller would be some Bluetooth one from AliExpress. Possibly a simple 8bitdo with a bit of RGB.
As for the games, I think I’ll buy a flash drive and see how to load them. I’ve already seen many with more than 10k games on different platforms.
What do you think? Would my idea work?
