The Raspberry Pi and most of the wiring fits in the bottom half of the shell. That way you can still save your game but the partition is kept read-only. I also modified the source code of the SNES emulator so it remounts the partition read-write before saving SRAM, and then remounts it read-only when saving is complete. I made the Linux partition read-only so you don't have to shut down cleanly. The main advantage of this is HDMI output without needing a scaler! The OS is Arch Linux and the front-end is custom. Combined with an original SNES housing and a Raspberry Pi, I built a more modern SNES. I bought a Retrode, which is a USB interface for SNES (and SEGA) carts and controllers. I built this last year and thought I would show some photos of the project.
