The next and most important step is installing Box86 on your Raspberry Pi. When done, execute the commands below to ensure you are running the latest packages and repositories. You can checkout out our post, “ How to install the Official raspberry Pi OS” to get a detailed guide.

For this post, we use the Raspbian Bullseye. To get started, install the latest Raspberry OS on your PI. Since we will be trying to install an x86 application on the ARM architecture, we need to do several things. VNC would also be a good option, but t avoid any network lags, we recommend connecting your Pi to a display monitor. If you have Xbox or Play Station controllers, please check out our post, “ How to use Xbox or PlayStation Controllers on Raspberry Pi.“ We used Raspberry Pi 4 for this particular post. Here are some of the items we will need for this project. In total, I designed six pieces: Two controller halves, a front cover for the controllers and screen/Raspberry Pi to mount to, two small pieces to cover the gaps between the screen cover and the controllers, and a back cover to contain all of the components.Installing Steam on a Raspberry Pi Requirements I found a model for the back shell of an Xbox 360 controller and cut it in half, and modified it to what I needed for this project.

'Once the controller was all set, I started designing a case/chassis for it. 'My build uses two controllers poorly connected to each other with a rats' nest of soldered wires,' Cass explains, 'and a Raspberry Pi 4 connected to a 7-inch touchscreen.

Effectively a fully-functional portable computer, the Steam Deck is optimized to play games locally on a custom Linux operating system - but Cass' equivalent opts for the lower-power approach of farming the hard work off to a remote gaming PC and simply streaming the result. The build began back in 2019, but gained a fresh head of steam - no pun intended - when Valve unveiled the Steam Deck in July last year. The 'Meme Deck' offers Steam game streaming on a budget, for those who can't stretch to a Steam Deck.
