Hello I'm calm Cal, welcome to another video, in this video we're gonna have a look
at the innards of the game console that we're gonna be putting together or I'm
I'm putting together and what I've chosen is the Raspberry Pi 3 model b+ in the
case that we've chosen the retro flag mega Pi case I'm sorry if your using
a headset - this one, it actually supports the Raspberry Pi model B plus 3
B 2 B and the 2b plus the Raspberry Pi the 3 B+ is the latest one and a
bit more power hungry than the others but it has better Wi-Fi and better
Bluetooth connectivity so if you're gonna be using wireless controllers this is the
best one to go for and because it's the latest one this is what I suggest you
go for but price them up and see which is the best for you, I think most of
them will run the Mega Drive games which I have planned to install but as I say
the model b+ is the latest and greatest so lets have a look and see what we got
in the box, this box came in looks like its been kicked around or something and
its not in a very good condition I'm not really happy with it but we'll see if
it works, if not it's going back. So this is a single board computer
got four USB connectors and also your data connection for the Internet
obviously this does come with Wi-Fi so if you don't want to plug in direct you can use
the onboard Wi-Fi it's okay, we've got the i/o ports here which this case will
connect to because it's got a reset & shutdown facility built into the
case, has HDMI out, power port there and your earphone
socket I believe yes, there's no on board storage with this
so its actually run through, if you just flip it over there's a port there for a
micro SD card, make sure you don't touch the back of the board don't want you getting
cut as some quite sharp but the micro SD card when you buy them
or look for them make sure that they are the class 10 - not 10 years support
actually class 10, look for that on the packaging itself
this one is 128 gigabytes for the amount of games that we've been putting on this
because it's a mega drive I think 32 gigabytes size SD card should hold all off of
those games. Also the software that I'm gonna be
running it's limited to 600 games the software going to be using will support
the majority of the Sega formats, so just just look at the build first
before you start buying any of these products and see and make up your own
mind obviously if you're looking for Sega CD games they're gonna be a
lot bigger than the Sega Mega Drive games, this one's 128 GB, right there's a
little connector that this micro SD card fits into so this then fits into
your card reader which is just like this, so the micro SD
card fits into this connector/adapter and then that fits into your
card reader I haven't actually got one of those size card readers - so what I
did is I bought one of these, this fits into here - nice and snug, so it then fits, it
slides into here, this then actually plugs directly into the USB port. I thought this was more handy than
the old-fashioned card readers, there's also a
different type of USB connector there, I haven't got one of those on my
computer but my USB connector it's just great anyway - Quite handy that ! Right so I'll
be looking at putting this together in the next video, probably looking at some
of the software as well, so if you can be around for that, if you can support me by
liking this video, sharing it if you can, I've actually got a link on the YouTube
banner for my Facebook page so if you can click on that and just like my page
I'd appreciate that, I won't put any links in the description for any of
these at the moment I'll wait for the final video for that, my name is Cal, have a
good morning, afternoon or good evening, farewell till next time, and I'll see
you later, thanks for all your support, I appreciate it :)
