#shorts
Could you achieve the same thing with an android phone and a Bluetooth controller? Let's not talk about that.

Looks surprisingly nice for something that's just thrown together from existing parts.

[@BuildItnow]

thanks, I think

[@Pokeflix]

I know its the power pf good editing but you make this look so easy

[@user-ui9qy6cw5y]

What impresses me the most is the fact that this is running android 7 (or less) and still supports steamlink

[@MJhonson69]

so underated ,keep it up man

[@cherrylu3417]

The “im cheap” in the background has me laughing 😂😂

[@SansINess53]

You know? You could actually order a 4/3 IPS screen, instead of using a phone.

[@turtlelore2]

looks like not a phone but just the screen of a phone. its probably cheaper that way.

[@HEADSHOTPROLOL]

This the kinda shorts I like to see ez sub

[@Grishanof]

Looks like a phone put into a custom case, probably would make as much sense lol

[@TheGameSquido]

This is why we need android products for things like these

[@SupahNin10dohp]

This is a very interesting formfactor. I think you may have started a new trend fren

[@BuildItnow]

I definitely didnt start the trend, the WIDEBOY was alive and well long before me, thanks for the comment!

[@MrMartellSincere]

Very impressive build

[@Rab1dGAMER]

Good to see a fellow tinkerer in South Africa.

[@bluesoda0]

you need to sell this

"off the shelf is better!" *3D prints a case*

Did you expect him to buy an aftermarket Game Boy shell or something? 🗿

My print is on a shelf

[@VladislavRumsh]

what did you use for the screen??

[@Karlus_LeV]

A phone

[@Mendoksen1]

I always wanted a handheld like this

[@jesusvidal8528]

Man i need the stl archive so Bad

[@user-fl2qg3bf3u]

I want to do a similar project is the controller plugged in to the usb port or cut and soldered

[@bergmik]

dem bezels doe

[@kbhasi]

This reminds me of KZbin user 'DIY Dr K' who did something similar, but used an iPhone XR in a Switch shell instead. However, I remember him doing other projects involving stuff like Orange Pi and ODROID.

[@Harry_crypto_investor3634]

What a really always wanted to see is one of my ideas coming to reality, which is like a super Samsung Dex dock, using an hdmi to usb c adapter but the hole thing would look like some kind of mini console, then you insert your phone in it and is connects and have a cooling system too

[@hopesimpson5822]

You should build it or message this guy your idea directly, he might build it

[@airfryerNW]

make it even simpler by using an old cartridge for something

[@cmlosaria]

I'd buy this make it modular!

[@carjohnson9729]

Awesome project! How does the console feel in the hands while playing? Those corners look sharp 🫨

[@Sqeek-eq8zm]

i like this console if i had it

[@crt23YT]

Something I’m confused about is where the r1 and r2 buttons go

[@PalStudio498]

Sad how there’s no r1 r2 l1 l2 triggers

[@wyldelf2685]

Awesome you created a "PowKiddy" ROM player handheld , that's pretty cool 😎👍👍

[@Mr.Engine993]

Nice build, you could do that with an old android as well and save some money

[@TimothySkanka-mv3er]

How does the controller connect to the motherboard ? Can you show me ?

[@dontworry7571]

So bare minimum? I need: 1. A body or casing 2. Screen or monitor 3. controler 4. Brain 5. Power Bank Does that sound right?

[@azonesuperdia]

That's so cool man i wish i can build one of these one day

[@Rick_Huijbregts]

Wow, this is a REALY awesome project, and I've got al this stuff lying arround! :D

[@MATEUSZ4902-uu6nb]

Can u make more of those? and sell them

[@R3AL-AIM]

Looks awesome, but the joystick height and movement gives me critters :x

[@Jaybird913]

Looks badass

[@Windo0ows]

could have used a trimmed Wii motherboard but that would have probably been a lot more complicated and expensive

[@milescarter7803]

Could have used a Galaxy S6, but that would have been a lot easier and less complicated.

[@Windo0ows]

@@milescarter7803 come back when a galaxy s6 plays wii and gamecube games at full speed with no issues

[@Windo0ows]

@@milescarter7803 not to mention that a trimmed wii motherboard can play most every single nintendo console up to the wii

[@regis_c]

​@Windo0ows Eh From what I remember, not counting the official Virtual Console, as each game had its own fine-tuned emulation profile, N64 emulation was pretty iffy on Wii 64. Even a Raspberry Pi 4, a weaker system, handled N64 better in 720p if configured properly And Nintendo DS emulation was just garbage, with I think WarioWare: Touch and Yoshi's Island DS being the games that ran the best But it's been years since I've touched my modded Wii (probably 2016 or 2017), so it's possible that those emulators improved since then

[@Windo0ows]

[@michaellegg9381]

Witch phone screen is this project made from? The big bezels and speaker hole give it away.. but phone screens are a mixed bag that relys on software to work so im interested in that aspect of the project

[@BuildItnow]

This is a generic phone screen that Orange Pi has attached a custom driver board and made work with the Orange Pi development board.

Yes more of this

Thank you!

[@thiagox21]

I'd recommend using Moonlight (with sunshine if not NVidia gpu) as It get better performance, less input delay and better image than steam remote

[@BuildItnow]

Ill give it a try!

[@minefreund]

I made an android console to but mine is has a cardboard housing because i dont have a 3d printer and i used an old Samsung phone as the brain and a Bluetooth keyboard as controller

[@minhajulislam2295]

He lied I think, he used an old smartphone instead of that rockpi!😮

[@keepitkush5208]

pretty badass. I'm guessing you just had the phone lying around. but they do make fairly cheap screens you can find on Amazon compatible with raspberry pi and orange pi. did you 3d print the case yourself?

[@BuildItnow]

This is not made of an old phone, this is made of an Orange Pi running Android + the orange Pis official Screen Module

[@keepitkush5208]

@Build It my mistake. Looks like an old phone screen

[@TPC_tvficticio]

my mom had a dua'shock2

[@elireed4250]

Try doing a steam deck type of layout so its more comfortable

[@BuildItnow]

might try this in future

[@NB8-DEADZONE]

Wow want to see my game adapter

[@DeluxeSimp]

while it is impressive, you should reprint that shell with some grips on it because that isnt very ergonomic

[@BuildItnow]

its actually very comfortable

[@jameslibby5215]

Its a good think you made a android console with that cheap ps2 controller and not as the controls for a submarine

Where's the triggers

Do you sell?

[@Rareist]

try it onna ifone lol

Awesome

I recommend the rgb20sx. Better quality parts and cheaper than building from scratch

Thanks for the tip!

Way better than the Ouya.
