Show HN: I Built a Handheld ESP32 NES from Scratch as My First Embedded Project

7 months ago

This is my first ever ESP32 and embedded project. For three months, I've been building a handheld NES with an ESP32 from scratch. I bought the parts and learned how to solder for the first time.

While having already made my own NES emulator for Windows, I had to do a whole rewrite of the program to port and optimize it for the ESP32. This is written in C++ and is designed to bring classic NES games to the ESP32.

This project focuses on performance, being able to run the emulator at native speeds and with full audio emulation and save states implemented. Check out the project!
