This project needs a 2-4 month follow up review, including what you would have done differently, if everything is still functional, and how much you actually use it. I am tempted to build this one.

Not going to lie, if he gets a good hot glue, it's good to know when you do shit like this. Even if it's hand made, if you can make it quality, all the better. Give it a nice sand blast and some good paintwork and you've got a quality product all your own for cheap.

Nice job! One of the cleanest gameboy pi builds I've ever seen!

Fantastic work! I have been working on a rpi project to build a virtual fireplace using an old 17" monitor mounted in portrait, but your project is a fantastic example of ingenuity. Well done!

This is great! Awesome :)

Using perfboard for the button contacts is GENIUS! I never would have thought of that. Definitely going to do that on my build.

Your Videos are...perfect. The Quality is awesome! This was the best project since a very long time!

Great build, thanks for sharing all the small details :)

I see that this channel has finally surpassed Dave Jones Eevblog channel in subscriber count. Congrats.

Wow, for me this project would represent the ultimate achievement in electronics skill. Well done! Very fun and exciting. This is still beyond my skill but your guidance brings me closer to my goal. Thank you!

I barely understand anything, but I'm still marveling at the fact that it is possible to build a gaming console at home for cheap.

Hi Scott! I loved this project! It inspired me so much, I ordered all the needed components immediately after the first part :D. I thinked about it pretty much and I have one question: What happens when the battery protection circuit cuts the power? Because if it don't save and shut down the pi before the the circuit cuts the power, all your game progress will lost. I have an idea how to solve this but I'm really not into the PI stuff (like to play with the arduino and esp8266 better), so can you help me with this please? I'll use a 18650 li-ion cell with a charging/protector module from aliexpress (it's dirt cheap, abut 0.5$ /piece) with a 5V Boost converter. With a voltage divider I'am able to scale the battery voltage down so i can connect it to an analog pin on the zero. So here is the problem: I don't know how to monitor the analog pin in the software and run a script which saves the gamestate and make a soft shutdown if the battery voltage reaches 2.8V from RetroPie (or Recalbox, from this perspective it's basically the same). Love your channel, keep up the amazing content! Best regards!

I'm glad I subscribed to this channel, you come up with the COOLEST projects! Right now I'm gathering parts to build the cocktail machine

He makes it look so easy. Very impressive .

How do you deal with shutting down the Pi properly? You can't just be switching off the power, can you?

You can shut it down through the main menu. And then I kill the power.

@rickseiden1

Do you know of a circuit you can use to push a button to turn it on, and then push a button to turn it off--but the system shutdown properly and then cuts power so the battery doesn't get used up? I am in dire need of something like that.

It's a Linux system. They have to be shutdown properly before being powered off, or you will corrupt the file system. Basically, these really are mini pcs, and need to be treated like that.

@Ungineered

7 жыл бұрын

That will risk corrupting your sd-card. @Rick there are other projects on the Gameboy pi out there that handle that problem, however it's fairly simple, you need a voltage monitor chip and for example a program that runs in the background of the RPi listening on a certain pin, if that GPIO is pull high/low from the monitor alarm it will the initiate a shutdown. You can even make the system check so that your program is always running.

The button wells aren't necessary. I do have access to a 3d printer but even without it I could have built mi GB zero. You can also use some polymer clay like Fimo to shape the wells, bake it in a kitchen oven and glue that in place. You can also just use the original metal plate just make sure it's insulated. My project doesn't look anything like his inside. The only 3d printing I did was for the wells and even that isn't necessary.

you can get a sheet of ABS plastic for the backing cover, or just buy two cases and salvage the button wells if you feel the need to retain them. they arent expensive.
