PiStation 2: Raspberry Pi 4 Inside Playstation 2 #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi

For quite some time I’ve wanted to put a Raspberry Pi inside of a Playstation 2 housing with the goal of being able to use it as a retro gaming system as well as the option to use it as a Linux computer via the Raspberry Pi desktop. One of the main goals of the project is to make it look as close to a “stock” PS2 as possible while still being able to easily connect peripherals via the USB 2.0, USB 3.0, HDMI, and ethernet ports on the Raspberry Pi.
