So what'd you guys think? Personally I think the stacked PCBs for the shell is super clever and unique. 😊

although this has a lot more layers, another youtuber called N-O-D-E used a pcb as part of the shell for some of his mini servers and other projects his channel is a lot of fun to watch, id recommend checking it out sometime

Can you change the brightness? Does it have RTC support? Can you add your own save files? What is the save file type?

Id like to just buy this premade.

Wermy, people like you and & are innovative in building and creating. Not only that, but in a niche market. You guys do incredible work I could never do. I appreciate the time and energy you put into these projects, and showing off others work shows how much you truly love what you do. Thank you, wermy.

i think its important to note it also doesn't come with any wire, you'll need 24AWG solid core wire, something I didn't realise until the kit came and I couldn't assemble it as I had none. overall I love mine, its a GB/GBC emulator for me mostly, with some game gear thrown in. I just wish the ESP32 was beefy enough to do some GBA emulation, but have to move up to the Null 2 for like a fiver more for that.

Do you know if it can play the Zelda oracle games? I’ve always wanted to play them but game boy colors are so expensive nowadays

now i want Espresso both the drink and this.

Holy Cow Wermy! Dude I remember your first game boy pi video got me into electronics. I don’t remember how many years ago that was. I was actually going to make the altoids one soon

Looks cool! Thanks for the review.

nice timing, I just ordered one last week!

The legend is back!

I've never heard of espresso. Love it!

never seen before, but man this is cute

cool product and i love the video quality!

all thanks to mr. ampersand for this little awesome DIY project :) realy love this device, best companion in our IT office :D maybe next project will be with RPi0? :3

Very nice

Found your post on reddit, subscribed here!

👏👏👏

Do you still make/sell the minty pi?

Awesome!!

Looks pretty cool.. Very small something my daughter can use..since she likes her gba advance..

I gotta make this

Sweet.

I was looking for a good starter mod project outside of modding DSi consoles. This is great! Too bad it's sold out though... ;-;

Would you be able to do a left a right trigger mode on this so we can play gameboy advance? And set it up so it works with the game?

How would you compare this to an Odroid Go using the Retro ESP32 firmware?

Hi wermy, im looking for a pcb kit with screen for a minty pi I want to build. Is there any way of getting one of those or how to go about from scratch tutorial. All kits seemed to be sold out and I tried looking for one on AliExpress. Any recommendations?

can you do more mintypiy projects me and my dad want to build one

Giveaway seems like your gaining a whole lot more then the person getting the kit

What?

is there a way to run retroPi on the espresso? I love PICO-8 and want a nice small handheld, and this is what I want. The problem is, PICO-8 only runs on raspberryPi.

Wow I want one

I love this... please I want this...

cool!

Do you know anywhere I can get the exact same board? I'd like to use it for one of my own projects, but can't figure out where to get it, or which model it is.

i just signed up for the giveaway

This looks so cool, I hope I win

Is Aliexpress reliable shipping to the US? I've never used them, but have not heard a lot of good things about them.

I’ve used it many times, never had a problem. Bear in mind though, it’s a marketplace so I’m sure some sellers are more reliable than others. :)

Really neat project. But for me such thing should have headphones... And for that price I think it should include the battery at least. The dpad space is kind of strange... But yeah, looks really nice. Nice software too.

why nu one liking mine :c

can u give me one espresso?

It looks like the screen suffers from exactly the same problem as the odroid go. Wrong refresh rate that causes tearing and other visual quirks. Shame

I think it’s a cash grab since it doesn’t even ship with any buttons and need to solder the tiniest parts yourself. You can get an odroid go which is same esp32 and much cheaper. Also, it comes with all parts soldered!

It’s a very small-scale hobby project, no cash grab here (literally just one guy in his spare time). As I mentioned at the start, it’s definitely aimed at people who enjoy putting things together or who want a fun excuse to practice soldering. If that’s not you then yes the odroid go probably makes more sense. :)

@@wermy I’ll tell you why you’re wrong. The creator hasn’t even bothered writing cfw but directly shipped the odroid go’s. This is fine, but the schematics are also based off other products. You want to create a kit then fine, but atleast credit other people’s work on your tindie page. And that is why i say this is nothing but a cheap cash grab attempt.

@@wermy compared to this, the op’s peanut kit is way better priced. Espresso really shouldn’t be selling for $50. Any way, this is just my opinion... and it’s a free world. People who buy and enjoy it, more power to them. But, fact is fact.

A couple years late seeing this. The kit doesn't include the buttons because there are 15+ colours available and not everyone will want the same, so I left that up to the user. They're cheap and easy to source. The point of the kit is that you solder it and make it, I don't see that as a problem and neither do those that have bought it. The Odroid go was cheaper because it was produced in China and I sadly don't have their resources, I'm just one guy doing it all myself. A cash grab by definition is something produced quickly and cheaply with the sole intent of generating profit. This project took months to make, there are several iterations, some have printed cases, some have acrylic, the final versions use layered PCBs, which hadn't been done before (just one of the reasons I made this that has nothing to do with profit). Each of those iterations has multiple versions of the PCBs, which costs money, it's not at all cheap to make something that uses 6 different PCBs that all have to fit together and work and then also pay to have them shipped to you each time. Designing these PCBs takes time, I didn't need to design a range of icons for the back, but I think the result gives it some character. I didn't need to include a word search inside the rear PCB (mentioned at 2:58) but I did because I thought it would be fun, not because it would make me profit. The project was started when I wanted to buy Odroid gos for my niece and nephew, but stock was always scarce, I wasn't planning to sell them at all until it was clear I had something people might want. The SD card is not externally accessible because I didn't want them (6 and 8 years old) to remove and lose the SD card. I didn't write the software, I'm not a coder, I design stuff, writing all new code was beyond the original scope. The kits don't come preloaded with any software, so I'm not selling anyone else's work. The build guide mentions and links to the relevant sources, the schematic is included at the end. Peanut was sold at cost, I didn't make any money at all from it, it was produced as a starter kit for soldering, I'm not focused on making a profit when I start a project. All the files for Peanut are now freely available, you can do what you want with them, no money involved. Stop presenting your opinions as fact. You don't know how much work went into the Espresso project.
