Would a NES Classic Edition be possible to build on your own?

Hello guys! I have a very simple question for anyone who owns an NES Classic Edition (NES Mini). So as we all know, the NES Classic Edition runs on Linux. Since that is the case, it has a Linux compatible set of software (The emulator, frontend, etc.). My question is, would we be able to dump all of that and build our own NES Classic Edition with a Raspberry Pi or something similar? Yes, I do realize there is a program called RetroArch which does everything the NES Classic Edition does and more. However, I would like the really nice looking interface and very stable emulator that Nintendo provides with their NES Classic Edition. In fact, I would like to build a 1:1 version of the NES Classic Edition with a Raspberry Pi if we are able to get a nice dump of this device. Please let me know any information you may know on dumping the memory of the device or if you know if there is currently a dump available and can be run on Linux. Thanks for reading and as always, happy hacking!

There is a kernel dump somewhere on the net, but I don't know if that's enough to build your own system.
I think you also need to know the components they used before it can work.

I just want the emulator and front end programs used and run them under Linux which I'm pretty sure is possible.

I basically made my own using RetroPie and a Raspberry Pi 3 with an 8GB microSD. Currently has my favorite NES, SNES, Genesis, GameGear, GB, GBC, and GBA games, along with a few smaller Playstation 1 games. And I still have plenty of ROM space to spare after 671 ROMS! :)

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    apparently stress can cause seizures, my brother had one during a test once
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had one before that, and never had one since
