RetroPie : My First Research Paper

This all began 4-5 months ago when my sir told me about research papers. Later, when I approached him with an idea, he encouraged me to research on that topic and write a research paper. As I am currently in my first year of Mechatronics engineering my idea was really simple. The idea was to simply convert a single-board computer into a retro gaming console. As retro gaming is again in trend and it's said that this industry is going to be worth 300 billion dollars by 2025.

As I am a generation Z guy I play games which have high-end graphics, but while writing this research paper I played a lot of retro games which made me feel like I am back in my childhood. The reason I think that retro gaming is back in the market is

1) The games have small levels so it is not time-consuming

2) It reminds you of your childhood ( for Millenials and Gen Z people)

Secondly, I also got to know a lot about the Raspberry Pi ( a single-board computer ) which I used during the research. So finally I wrote the paper when I was at home during the quarantine ( as I was bored and had nothing to do) and sent it to different research paper publications. After a few weeks, I got acceptance from different publications and I selected the International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology as it was more reputed than others. And finally, my paper got published in the April 2020 issue.

Steps for Writing a Research Paper:

• Step 1: Understand the Assignment

• Step 2: Finding a Topic or a Question

• Step 3: Begin Research

• Step 4: Construct an Outline

• Step 5: Write a Draft

• Step 6: Write a Final Draft

So that was my experience of writing and publishing my first research paper
