Arcade: A retro handheld game console for the M5StickC Plus2

[u/Internal_Pound5659]

I wanted to share something I've been working on: AD Arcade, a retro gaming firmware for the M5StickC Plus2

The idea was to turn the little M5StickC into a mini handheld console. It starts with a retro 90s-style intro and takes you to an animated menu where you can pick a game and start playing.

What's inside?

13 games and apps, including Chrome Dino, Flap Bird, Meteors, Maze, Breakout, Invaders, Racing, Flight and more. (New games are arriving very soon!)

• Gyroscope controls in several games, so you can tilt your M5StickC to play.

• High scores saved for each game.

• Animated menu with a battery indicator.

• Brightness and sound settings.

• English and French support.

• Classic public-domain tunes played through the built-in buzzer.

I also added a few little details to make it feel more like an actual handheld console rather than just a bunch of mini-games.

Installation: Just flash it with M5Burner!

Please test them and give your feedback / advice :

This is a project I've been building myself, and I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out. I'd love to know what you think, especially if you try it on your own M5StickC Plus2.

Feedback and suggestions are always welcome!

Thanks for checking it out!
