Retro gaming on Single Board Computers (SBCs) and handheld emulators. Find the latest news on upcoming devices, learn how to tweak custom firmware, show off your handheld collection, and get device and game recommendations!
So yesterday was the four-year anniversary of my channel, and it put me in a reflective mood.
I started the channel in the middle of the pandemic; I had picked up an RG350 (and later the RG350M) and found the setup process to be really haphazard, with instructions littered all around the Internet on various subreddits, message boards, and GitHub repositories. So I started up Retro Game Corps exclusively as a website to compile information about the devices and to write setup guides. I spent a lot of time on this subreddit, and the subreddit, sharing my progress and answering as many questions as I could. I knew nothing about these things, or really emulation at all, up until that time.
At some point, I started making videos to accompany my written guides, and over time I started focusing on making more videos because those seemed to help people the most. By that time (September/October) the Anbernic RG351P launched, so I did a mixture of written and video guides as I started to learn more about that handheld and EmulationStation/RetroArch, and then also started dipping my toes into reviews as well. The rest is history!
Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to this community and all the other subreddits for being such a helpful place to hang out. I try to stop by every day and chip in where I can, but it's also awesome to see an entire group (nay, corps) of people who are willing to jump in and answer questions, share their experiences, and so on. It's no wonder that this subreddit now has over 100,000 members!
