Simplifies both internal and external DIY BlueRetro setups by implementing a full ESP32 DevKit setup with status LED, current limiting resistor, and using the unique open source RetroRosetta IO header that pairs all of BlueRetro's configuration IO pins with the GND or 3.3V pin needed to set them.

Wires can be soldered directly to pin holes for a compact solution that will fit inside almost any console.

Can be used with third party BlueRetro cables using this open source adaptor.

Additionally, a range of console specific PCBs are included to simplify connections for each console, with mounts for any additional hardware required.

For connecting to consoles via the IO pins (Without system specific PCBs), use the guides here
For internal connections, wires can be soldered directly between RetroRosetta pin holes and connection points. For external connections, wires can be soldered directly between RetroRosetta pin holes and cut controller cables, or crimped cables can be used if a pinheader is soldered to the RetroRosetta PCB, see the guides for more information.
