My company had a Pi Day Hackathon, and the project I decided on was to run Uxn on a Pi Zero 2W. Specifically, on this Game Boy-style case, with graphics and controls working: https://retroflag.com/gpi_case_2w.html

It was harder than I expected, and it's still not done!

You'd think it'd be as easy as installing the default Uxn emulator on the Pi, since it already runs Linux. But the GPi Case has a unique driver for its screen, and only a few "retro gaming" distros support it.
