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 that’s 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?

i’m a software dev, not a lawyer. so i don’t 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 doesn’t 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 don’t recognize, i never look at or use it because doing so could open me or my employer to legal issues. which is why i’ve never looked at the code for @MMM-tek’s 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 isn’t legal advice, just my own two cents on the issue.
