Hi! This is an open-source game that teaches how to build an emulator from scratch. It also has a "free mode" where players can skip the tutorials and build an emulator for another platform (like the Game Boy, for example).

Thanks, I appreciate it! Part of the project's fun was discovering new things, so I thought it'd be the best to share it.

Yeah, most of Steam games require lots of buttons. And sadly the Raspberry Pi I have lacks 5.8Ghz WiFi so the stream is a bit laggy
