Sounds fun, but first check that your old Raspberry Pi 2 still boots on that 4.2 GHz CPU, and that the HDMI from your CRT is still sane. You’ll need a 5V 2A supply from that 2010 power brick, otherwise the whole thing will lag. The streaming code must be compiled with the right kernel modules or the GPU will throw an error. Start with a simple ping script, then add the RTMP push bit by bit. Hardware’s great, but a buggy script will freeze the cabinet like a 1999 game stuck at level one, so let’s debug it before you let the hardware do all the heavy lifting. Ready for a late‑night debugging marathon?
