Full demonstration video with RGR Famicom PiPU adaptor with Pi Zero 2.
Running PiPU on the latest “Raspberry Pi Zero 2” with RGR Famicom PiPU Adaptor.
Ps. I just added some file I build into a clean retropie img without tuning the OS booting speed. That is why it boots so slow in the video.#pipu #nintendo #famicom #pizero2 #raspberrypi pic.twitter.com/598iQHWAXi

Some other demonstration to run some other games. Customers need to source the image or modify the Linux scripts to compile particular software on your own.
Note: Please also read the title and description of the video.
