Raspberry pi question

[Ghostinthemachine]

Hello

I am thinking about getting my first raspberry pi, does anyone know if you can play old zx spectrum games on a raspberry pi using an emulator?

Thanks in advance

Yes, you can easily play ZX Spectrum games using the emulator ZEsarUX. I have done this myself on the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5.

Agreed. As well as many other retro games on several platforms.

Fantastic thank you

Yes, you can, Raspberry Pi (either 3, 4 or the newest 5) can run several tetro games and from several platforms,

The most easiest way or complete one is by using Retropie RetroPie

Specific site for your console:

Coincidentally, I got one recently. But it won't power on for some reason.

Does anything happen on the monitor if you have one connected? How do you power it?

I connected a mini HDMI cable, a mico-USB hub and a USB cable into a power cube into all of the ports, but my TV didn't display anything. However, I tried ordering a proper power plug for it on Amazon, so fingers crossed that's the problem.

I would like at FPGA setups for things like this, you will get a 1:1 experience to the real hardware. There are cheap FPGA single boards that can fit these systems on them, so don't need to spend big on something like a MisterFPGA.
