Overview
Build your own multi-console emulator system with the Fruit Jam and play all of your favorite retro games! Frank Hoedemakers has created a new multi-emulator launcher called Pico Bootloader that makes it simple and fast to get going. It uses an innovative system of re-flashing the Fruit Jam with a given emulator stored on the SD card as needed, and it even includes a graphical system selector.
Along with this, Frank has also released new emulators for the PC Engine/TurboGrafx 16 series of consoles and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, which are included in Pico Bootloader or can be installed individually from these links: pico-pcePlus and pico-snesPlus
Pico Bootloader combines these and a few other emulators for Fruit Jam (and other RP2350-based boards) into a drag-and-drop .UF2 file with a launcher for these systems:
- Nintendo NES
piconesPlus - Sega Geneis / Mega Drive
picogenesisPlus - NEC PC Engine / PCEngine CD / TurboGrafx 16
picopcePlus - Nintendo Game Boy / Game Boy Color
picoPeanutGB - Sega Master System / Game Gear
picosmsPlus - Philips Videopac / Magnavox Odyssey²
picoPacPlus -
Doom (native port)

Additionally, any RP2350 application can be made bootable and added to the menu — see Creating a bootable build of your own application.
Wii Classic Controller
Controllers with the Wii nunchuck port can be used along with this breakout adapter and a STEMMA QT cable. These are highly responsive controllers option, with less lag than USB controllers.
These were made for use with the Wii in the case of the Wii Classic Controller and the NES Classic Mini and SNES Classic Mini consoles
