The MintyPi v3 Build | Altoids Tin Retro Emulation!

[@samueljones4225]

Me: Brings a MintyPi to school and pretends it's just a regular Altoids tin *Some call me the master of disguise*

My school does not allow sweet tins...

"Doctor, my kid has been staring down an Altoids tin for an hour..."

[@roku5769]

quelorepario lol 😂 I laughed way to much when I sall this

“he’s imagining a “wa-hoo” and the “princess””

[@marshalldickens1343]

Just grabbed that repair mat after i watched this. Lost a screw last night taking my hard drive outa my laptop. Never again lol.

[@theretrophix8898]

I love it, I didn't know it had magnetic sections, which is even better! It's smaller than I thought, but really high quality

[@samursword]

I wish they still sold the PCB’s.

[@ScrumBoards]

Thanks for the guide. I used it to work this build with my son .

[@theretrophix8898]

That's awesome

[@omarguerrero6417]

all it needs now is the analog sticks and the L3 and R3 buttons

[@oatmeal.3277]

Yeah! That's what I was saying. There is so much Systems that have analog sticks that I want to emulate. And u can replace the rpi zero with a radaxa zero. That would be the best thing I have ever thinked of

[@240sxEnthusiast]

Great video man!! The fact this is all in an Altoids tin is awesome and makes me laugh 😂 can’t wait for the next video!

[@theretrophix8898]

Thanks man! The Altoids tin is what drew me to it! Awesome design and great kit!

[@plasmagaming1886]

Only 191 subs? Damn. This is some seriously good content.

[@oatmeal.3277]

If they make the screen touch and put thumbsticks it would be the holy gmail of emulation. I want to make a radaxa zero version

[@theretrophix8898]

That would be awesome, I have no Idea how they'd fit thumbtacks in! Haha

[@ExecutionerDan]

​@theretrophix8898 maybe like a cstick off of a 2ds or 3ds

[@acidix_games]

Your video quality is akin to someone who has thousands of subs, not less than 100! There should be more channels like you!

[@theretrophix8898]

Thank you kindly. I prefer quality over quantity. I make no money doing this, all for fun and enjoyment, hoping to share that with everyone that stops by

[@autumnfire1490]

Keep it up man you’ll make it big some day!

[@theretrophix8898]

Thank you, it's definitely something I enjoy, hoping to get more content soon.

[@AlvinMarin.]

Great video

[@waffle4527]

18:15 MARIO ARE YOU OKAY?

[@aadit2626]

Hi retro Phix u deserve more subs! ill try to help you

[@theretrophix8898]

concerning the mat. Search Aliexpress. You should be able to find one that would fit your needs

[@bobfiendplays]

Cool vid!!!

[@gustavorojasrivera9713]

quiero una docena de ellos pero no se si está a la venta 😅😅

[@theretrophix8898]

of course they are! check the forums quiero una docena de ellos pero no se si está a la venta

[@breakdown3009]

great vid, i cant really solder and am bad with electronics. is there any way i could commission a prebuilt one, ive loved the mintypi since 2.0 but as stated above i cant exactly build one

[@theretrophix8898]

Yes, as matter of fact, I'd be willing to do it. It's not an inexpensive project, but is an awesome design. One of a kind! Look up the links in the description and check out the parts and cost. Let me know if I can help you! Thanks for watching!

[@breakdown3009]

The Retro Phix cool thanks, youve earned a sub and how mucb money would it cost, i should be paid hopefully this week if not next week so i was wondering what to spend my first paycheck on and the mintypi is something ive always wanted to show off at school since mark 2

[@theretrophix8898]

You're looking at 90$ for the electronics, 10$ for the battery, 56$ for 3d printed parts, add 5-10$ for RasberryPi and 3-10$ for Altoid tin... There is an optional case for the mintyPi as well.. so around 176$ for parts depending, but can be a little less if you choose certain colors. Add labor it's over 200$... I've heard of some people building them for 200$ to 250$ or around that price I think? You can check me on that if you go to sudomod.com and check the forums.

[@theretrophix8898]

Upon checking it again, I see that someone is offering to solder everything, not a bad option either. But if you aren't comfortable building it yourself, paying for a pre-built one will insure peace of mind.

[@breakdown3009]

The Retro Phix thank you

[@Chatherton99]

Where did you order the multicolor buttons? Is there a standard button size or something that can be purchased? On sudomods site I ordered the plain white by he only has black and white currently.

[@xXxLuismaxXx]

I know its been 4 years but... Anyone knows if the process with a zero 2 W or another sbc with the same form factor is the same or at least similar?

[@UppoffX]

Once I put it together with the kit will I have to go through the process of installing retro pie and all the consoles?

[@RoyalABC_]

Could you help me install games and emulators with my build ?

[@kiwi9402]

Are there STL files for the 3D printed parts? I have a 3D printer and would like to make my own parts.

@The Retro Phix Thanks so much man!

[@ruoyangchang6835]

did you ever clean the flux off the PCB?

[@theretrophix8898]

No, but I had to redo some work on it and I cleaned it later. Definitely a good idea!

[@stephenwilder9182]

You legit sound like Joe Rogan

[@theretrophix8898]

lol

[@fender343]

How do you transfer Roms on it? Do you need a computer?

[@Tyler-ev7xq]

Yes, look up how to add roms to a retro pi system

[@fender343]

@@Tyler-ev7xq thanks I did I also learned you can transfer using your phone to which is helpful because I don't own a computer

[@antibayou02]

How much does all of this cost?

[@NCMETAL]

Dependent on what you want there could be slight variation but here’s the basic rundown. Helders game tech mintypi kit: 80$ Mintypi battery: 10$ Altoids tin (laser cut from helder): 10$ Raspberry pi zero w: 10$-20$ Button pcb: around 10$ 3D printed frame for mintypi: 30$-40$ SD card to load retropie onto: varying price

[@laynecook3042]

Can you save progress on games?

[@theretrophix8898]

Yes, you can "save state" at anytime.

[@laynecook3042]

The Retro Phix awesome, good to here. Great video man

[@najaiantonio9412]

How long did it take to ship?

[@theretrophix8898]

Have to check with SudoMod to see when the kits are available on his site.

[@Thomas-mj5yu]

It cost 105 dollars!!

[@theretrophix8898]

Everything is completely custom and hand built and ordered. It's definitely not a "cheap" solution, but for the work this team did developing it, it's a fair price!

[@minty7699]

...

[@Lil__Ro]

Can I just like buy one of these? 😂😂😂 I’m only 10 so I can’t make it

[@theretrophix8898]

www.sudomod.com/forum/ I would check the forums and see if anyone builds these to sell.
