ok so I am trying to go step by step and I cant figure out how do I mount the cords to the back cause I was planing on having a raspberry pi 5 and a USB a - a plug in to it and mount the a female end so we can plug in the controllers how do I mount that
ok so thatās good but what do I do about extensions like ones I used a lot for the games for this console are https://github.com/klausw3/pxt-sound-effectsv and https://github.com/livcheerful/arcade-soundtrack and some of the default ones and my own but what about the license for these the sound effects has a license but the sound track does not have that file what does that mean also here are the three ones I saw through everything this one being most default ones MIT License

so can I still sell my games do every thing I said I wanted to do if the extension has the 1st or 2nd one or no license file?

so I have ran into a problem how do I get my games on a file type so they can run on a raspberry pi 5 perfeibly with just like a mygame.run
@richard is this fine?
iām a software dev, not a lawyer. so i donāt really know!
this is not legal advice, just my own opinion, but what i do know is that the MIT license is one of the most permissive and doesnāt have any restrictions on commercial use. no idea on that other one, which seems extremely restrictive.
i will say that in general if code is marked with a license that i donāt recognize, i never look at or use it because doing so could open me or my employer to legal issues. which is why iāve never looked at the code for @MMM-tekās extension and will never use it.
personally, i always mark my open source code as MIT licensed because i want people to be able to use it. again, this isnāt legal advice, just my own two cents on the issue.

so MIT license is fine? also do you know how I can get the game to run on a rasbperry pi 5 because Iāve gotten it to display on my tv using the help of Gemini but using a USB keyboard I can move the guy
https://arcade.makecode.com/S86054-26885-01958-76304 Iām using this as a test
And with no licence, I have been uptaded the project and now donāt have licence @richard.
MIT licence is fine?? 
scrap that I have got it to work I can move and its on the tv on a rasbperry pi 5!
ok so as of today Iām am working on the controllers and have
@# this many games completed
look here for the answer
Answer
Are you sure
its 20 Games Completed
so what I have now is
- gotten it to run on the tv
- gotten the console case
- gotten the controller case
- gotten 296 games done
- misc (just random stuff Iām forgetting)
- other (any thing I have completed that is misc)
also the reason its 296 is because thats i think how many the N64 had
I just saw its not @# its @) Sorry
I now have made the controller shell just not the inside of the controller
I now have 21 games done
ok well does that mean MIT is like āthis is mine you can use it modify but cant say its your ownā and if so do I put a MIT License on all the games for this console now I know you said your not a lawyer but you do know more about the MIT License because all I know is that it I think protects you (creator) as the owner but allows others to use it right?
ok so I want to show and tell all you guys my company name and some games but I donāt want any one to steal them now I know of the auto copyright in the US but I donāt know if thats enough
I now have 22 games done
23 Games Done Yes!!
also I would say theses games are better then Atrai(2600) I would say as good as Nintendo(NES) but maybe down by like a point so Nintendo(NES) is 10 mine maybe like 7 to 10 and Atrai(2600) would be a 2 - 3 - 5
wait I looked it up and if I want my games to be you can edit you can sell to a friend just not commercially then would I use

because this is what Google said
Iām pretty sure the second option might be best
also @richard I now your not a lawyer but I kinda want to show one of my best games I made for this console maybe at the sports jam because its a bowling game and I donāt care if I win I donāt Relly want to show it to win but anyways I donāt want peploe to steal it now I know that makecoders are pretty nice and I now about auto copyright in the US but Im not sure
