This Raspberry Pi portable arcade cyberdeck sports a Pi 5 and is wearable

Raspberry Pi.

We love Raspberry Pi cyberdecks and Raspberry Pi-powered arcades—so why wouldn't we love the two put together? Today, we're sharing a cool project put together by maker and developer _Kniives, as he's known over at Reddit, who has created not one but two Pi-powered arcade cyberdecks that are completely portable. These builds look very cool and have all the benefits of a gaming console paired with a mini PC on the go.

According to _Kniives, the idea was to make the systems primarily for gaming. They're running Lakka as the main operating system—a Linux-based emulation platform that makes it easy to play around with all sorts of consoles and ROMs. In the example pictures, it looks like Kniives is running a Game Boy Color emulator, but you could play with all sorts of systems, ranging from the Nintendo 64 to the PlayStation 1.
