Raspberry Pi turns an old CRT into something spectacular

The community of enthusiasts who give free rein to their imagination through the use of Single Board Computers such as Raspberry Pi is growing more and more. On the pages of geekinco we talk to you quite frequently about the most interesting projects that appear on the web and the protagonist of today's news is an old CRT TV, which has been transformed into a real portable station for retrogaming.

One of the most popular uses of Raspberry Pi is to turn it into a sort of "mini console" for emulating old glories originally released on arcade, MS-DOS or other 8-64 bit devices via software platforms that are rely on emulators, such as RetroPie or Emulation Station. What's better than playing old titles with an equally "retro" looking device? This is what maker JamHamster must have thought, who decided to use the case of a Realistic Portavision 7 TV for his project, to which the various internal components were extracted to make room for an 8 ″ IPS LCD screen and a Raspberry Pi (with related cables and accessories).
