I bought a floppy disk reader on a marketplace to make my own pico-8 console, I wanted to know how I can start making the console along with the step-by-step guide on how to do it? Does anyone have an idea

is it a usb reader or an older one meant to be mounted in a computer case?

do you have a computer to use for your console? the floppy disk reader is not enough

It's a older floppy drive, i understand, can you help me with this

Nothing? I'm interested too.

I think your best shot is to use a Raspberry Pi, however if the floppy drive does not have an USB connector, but the old FDD cable then you will need to dig into electronics and micro-controller programming, because it seems there is no plug-and-play solution for that.

On the Raspberry you will need a script that listen to changes on the floppy drive (e.g.: floppy inserted, floppy removed) and executes the Pico binary when it sees a new disk inserted.
