[SOLVED] What do I need to make a proper game console with a Raspberry Pi system?

Issue

I understand that what a lot of people have done (and what a lot of tutorials teach you to do) in order to create a game console with a raspberry pi is to install Retro PI. This is fun, but I believe that some people (including myself) would like to create a game console because they want to create a unique experience. In other words, I would like to create a game console using a raspberry pi 0 that doesn't use pre-made operating systems and pre-made games. I would like to know what I would need other than a screen, input, and a raspberry pi 0 itself to create what i'd call a "proper" game console. I would personally rather start from scratch if not a simple linux build for this console so that I can have full control over development. This way, I can have a good understanding of it and be able to create things like games and apps easier using my own pre-made tools. Kind of like Nintendo and developing game consoles themselves, but this one would be made by one person.

Solution

go is interesting to hang out with friends or alone, maybe this project will give you some ideas: maxvfischer / DIY-arcade

For development purposes, probably at least one Raspberry Pi in any of its flavors, all have limitations and advantages and disadvantages, in general without considering the graphics engine, the idea or any other program to compile, design or publish your games, its biggest challenge is the OS, maybe the best is a multiplatform development solution based on Java lang or JavaScript language or maybe HTML5 + Js.

A short list: Rasperry Pi Pick your programing languaje Pick your development solution Some free time A lot of cofee or beer as you like CNC + PAINT or 3d Print + Prototyping Services available in your area
