What's this raspberry jazz? I've been thinking about buying an N64 as all my fave teenage games were on it.... but they don't plug in to HD TVs.... technology
Raspberry Pi is a credit card sized computer board, you can run various operating systems etc... on them. They were / are quite useful as boards for getting illegal TV / Movie streams too (not tried in a while though, so someone else may be able to provide details on if that still works)
The TV/movies thing is just one tiny part of what they can be used for, the new v4 that's come out has dual 4k outputs! You can easily download and install retropie https://retropie.org.uk/ onto one and only put N64 games on it. You'll need to download the roms (game file) from the net and the law is a bit sketchy on this, I think if you own/owned the cartridge downloading the rom file isn't illegal but it's down to your conscience really. You can get an adapter to use your N64 controller into the USB porrts of the pi, but you can also map the buttons to any usb compatible controller but not many controllers have as many buttons as the N64 ones and certain games require those controls. Or you could just buy a second hand N64 with an adapter to it into your MCW TV.
