Introducing the Fancon (fantasy console)!
This is a raspberry pi powered TV console for playing fantasy console games off of floppies.
Currently, this project supports TIC-80 and PICO 8. This project requires zero soldering.
How this project works: You insert a floppy with a TIC-80 or PICO 8 game (depending how you configure the script files), turn on the console, then TIC-80, or PICO 8 will run the game.
Parts list:
Pi 3, but a Pi 4 might work too.
USB floppy drive
Male to female USB extension cables
1M*7 to 2M screws to hold the pi and also the bottom in place
Spare floppy disks
Repository for bash scripts.
