Production of NES cassette with built -in raspberry pie

The NES released in 1983 is a legendary hardware that boasts an absolute presence, with new software regularly released in the indie market.However, description performance is not a dimension that is naturally comparable to the current hardware.Here is a kit that operates "DOOM", which is said to be the founder of FPS games, with a retro NES.
