Sure, it’s neat, but who has a TV small enough for it?

Dang, that looks neat. I want one!
Very, very cute! I want one!! But I wonder if it would have support for other controllers?
It’s standard USB ports on the front, so you could plug in nearly any type of controller

Seems so obvious this is fake- he just made this up to cover up the fact that he actually invented a shrink-ray.

Some wonderful making going on here although I’m not quite sure why the Arduino was in there. Was it just to simplify some of the peripheral communication aspects?
… or just because, you know…

Basically. If I understood right, he’s using it as a simple-to-address interface. The way he set up the power button, reset button, etc. on the front would be a pain to set up through GPIO but the interface to Arduino is pretty easy to set up. I’m guessing the NFC reader was just a bonus. Arduino library to read the NFC and respond on serial emulation over USB to the OS.

Oh, for sure! I was wondering whether it would be easy to get the Pi to support, say, an xbox 360 controller!
As soon as Trump is president all controllers have to be tiny.
