Assembled my flex and what a pain where the sun don't shine... Had to redo the lcd ffc connector about 5 times since this flex kept bending when I added heat. Probably would have been better off using an actual pcb. Oh well, experience was gained designing and assembling my first flex. All I...

Well, made a design change from a 4.3" screen to now a 5". The deciding factor was battery life. With the 4.3" design, I was able to fit 4800mah batteries but only lasts 2 hours. With the 5" design, I can fit 8000mah batteries, which should last closer to 4 hours. So far, everything was designed...

This has been a slow project as I'm challenging myself with custom pcbs. It will make it much easier and cleaner to assemble. I received a couple custom boards and a flex board. Here are the simple controller boards. The switch stick ffc connectors are off on purpose due to limited space I'm...

Nice job man, really like the color scheme you ended up with. The first is always the most challenging, but gets easier and cleaner with time!

A few months back, I was thinking of my childhood and impulsively purchased a Retroid Pocket 2 for nostalgia after seeing all of the good reviews. To be honest, I was disappointed and has been in a drawer ever since. It's a bit of a learning process for me as I don't know much about the pi and...

what resolution are the 7" ips screens?

Hot!!!

What batteries did you end up going with?

Correct. You need to connect 5v to the AV chip, which oddly is not mentioned in the guide but necessary for video. I don't have my multimeter handy, but I believe it's right here that you need to connect 5v to. This whole trace is 5v I believe:

I know the feeling haha. Looks great man!

This is awesome!

Just started looking into pi portables myself and definitely will be watching this thread. I too am interested in your controller code and how you implement the controller altogether! I was just going to experiment using a GC+ with a gc to usb adapter for a pc and hope that works with the pi...

Really enjoying this worklog! Matte clear coat was a nice choice, way less of a fingerprint magnet that's for sure. Looking forward to the final outcome!

This project is not dead, just takes me a long time for updates with no motivation haha. So... Direct Drive was released, so I snagged one while they were hot and before they sold out quick. There's my motivation, thank you @Aurelio ! Not much of an update but decided to start working on the...

Where does the N64 go? Looks pretty heavy, but also a cool project!

This is super helpful, thank you!

Looks great man! Excellent job modeling the playstation logo.

This is stunning Gman! You make these things look so easy but I know how much time and money goes into these things...

This is so freaking incredible. Probably the most feature integrated portable and most engineered portable to date that I've seen. Congrats man, you can really see the time spent on this and what a rewarding accomplishment!

Really like that purple filament color. Do you have a link to that? Another great project as usual!
