Something I would definitely not have a need for, but it looks pretty cool. They various types of configurations.

The emulation community isn't concerned in the least with the Raspberrypi anymore, practically. Cheap eBay AMD and Intel SBC, demand for Switch and PS3 emulation saw to that, and Anbernic and Retroid.

DIY is fun, but it kills it for me when there's a $200 product of equivalent specs to what you're spending night after night in Fusion360 building for the same price and a lot less time.
