Description

This is a portable emulation console based on a Raspberry Pi 3 and running with "Retropie".
I always wanted to build myself a raspberry pi console, but I couldn't find any suitable project for my envy: the main interest to build a console is to personalize the project. So, I decided to create mine from scratch!

I personalized various important elements, that I think we're missing on others projects:

  • Instead of classical "tactile push buttons" (which are making an horrible sound and are not very convenient to play video games), I used some Adafruit "soft tactile buttons" which are giving an impression of real controller.
  • I really wanted to let the HDMI plug accessible to be able to quickly connect it to a TV to appreciate games on widescreen. This element gave me trouble during the designing, and also for choosing a screen.
  • With the HDMI plug, I also wanted to have some USB plug in facade, so with this two interfaces it is possible to transform the console in a home console, and to allow multi-payers gaming by plugging in USB controller.

Equipment list (most of my stuff is from Banggood, but you can find them on amazon or ali-express):
