Hi there, I was recently getting into PICO 8 and was reading through the picozine to learn how to make games on PICO 8 when I came across the render of a theorized PICO 8 console that was acting as a page break. I instantly got inspired to 3D model that design and put a raspberry pi with PICO 8 on it inside. At first thought to just make this for myself but I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in buying one (with the permission of the creator of the render since it is modeled after it and permission from Zep since it is his program) I most likely wont be finished any time soon since I got carried away with a lot of ideas I had while making it. I just want to get peoples opinion on whether or not I should sell some online.
edit I will try to post images Monday since the file is currently on my school computer and I don't have the money to pay for my own solid-works licence

Everyone has ideas. Share. Post some code and photos - let's see what can be done, SR. :)

Myself, I would like to have PICO-8 running flawlessly in a GBA-SP Clamshell casing.

A conversation on making hardware versions of Pico-8 can be found HERE:

That's a nice model! If you ever make these, I'd buy one.

What about cartridges, though? In the 'zine, they look like 2600 cartridges, but the png cartridges and the loading icon in Pico-8 look different, with a notch by the bottom. Would they have guiding grooves? How high would they sit in the console? Would there be an eject button?

I don't know, I just think it's interesting to design a console case.
