Turning a 15 years old laptop into a children proof retrogaming station

&gt; To achieve a more children-proof environment, I decided to run Retroarch directly from a TTY, without a graphical server.<p>I&#x27;d love to read more about getting that up.

This is fantastic and should be on the list of &quot;Things to do with an old laptop.&quot;

Would love to see a video of the laptop booting and running a game

arcade machine parts are tough stuff, if you need a physically durable setup.<p>they seem to cost 3-6$ usd each,

I would want to use Wayland, though, for the Vsync and other things. I seem to have a better experience with emulation that way.<p>Is there a way to boot something like Retroarch directly via Wayland using wlroots or something?
