Hello! Present yourself here!

Hello guys,

I'm Pierre here, 8BCraft maker. I live in Paris in France and I love to make new things.
My main job is a startup called LOMA Innovation that I created with 2 friends, we are working on shape-changing plastic polymers.
I have been working on arcade stations on my spare time for some time, I first did the coffee table, then a few cases for friends, then I started working on the handheld RaspiBoy.

Personnaly I think the coffee table is a lot of fun, when I make an evening at home we always end up playing some crazy games. But as the kit would have been around 400€ I am not sure that it would have been a success on kickstarter. Therefor I found out a much more affordable option which is the handheld!

I first did a prototype that is quite a mess under the cartridge, then when I saw that people liked it I started to work on the final kit!

Hi.
Names Richaed, currently in the UK. Been playing with raspberry pi for past 4 years.
Also Pi certified.
This is a great project. Already built a pi powered Arcade maxhine, was looking at doing a hand held version then came across your kickstarter.

Very impressed.

Hi, Stephane from Canada.
I've been using emulation for ever (Nesticle in the 90's!) ... and have been using Retropie on my Raspberry Pi 3 for many months now (6+)
