Raspberry Pi Portable/Console videogame by izimbaldi

Why not a RetroPie project portable that can be also connected to a TV and played like a regular Raspberry?
I'm not the best to 3D design, but it works for me. But if you want to change anything I'm also sharing the .f3d file for Fusion360.
Used a 4,3" composite screen soldered directly to the PP24 and ground video in PP6.
PP25 and 26 for sound output. A PAM8403 is used for audio amplifier.
Then, a PS3 controller is used inside and soldered directly to USB and tactile buttons
When you want to play on TV, just plug it directly to the HDMI and be happy!
Material List:
Disclaimer: These are not exactly the link where I bought, is just a model. So you might find cheaper

4,3" Composite Screenhttps://goo.gl/qYfAMf
Some composite screens are made for 12V but works with 5V.


XL6009 Step-up voltage converterhttps://goo.gl/x2Qboc


Mini Audio Amplifier PAM8403https://goo.gl/ZWpwT3 (You migh want to take off the header and connectors to solder directly to the board and save space)


A mini power switch like thishttps://goo.gl/ZKmFya


PS3 Chinese controllerhttps://goo.gl/Mp4Ng2 (Using just the board)


Some tactile switches (14, i think)https://goo.gl/H8LfvQ

TP4056 Battery charger with protectionhttps://goo.gl/jh6wwe


4x 3,7V 18650 Batteryhttps://goo.gl/FveduX


Green and red 5mm LED's (soldered in the Battery Charger)

[EDIT: 06/02/18]
I had some problem with the chinese PS3 controller board. So I replaced it for a Arduino Pro Micro (32u4 chip, the same as Leonardo) as you can see in the last picture.
The code used in the Arduino controll is in the files!
This is the library I used: https://github.com/gamelaster/ArduinoGamepad
