Handheld Emulator by ArmoredCarbon

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is my handheld retro gaming system. It runs off of a raspberry pi 4 with an msata through usb, and a teensy 3.2. The screen is 7 inches. The OS is currently Ubuntu.
This was mostly a learning project for me and isn't designed with standardized parts in mind. I also plan on adding some air vents to the back at some point.
To fully power the screen and msata drive you will need wires going directly from the 5v buck converter to the screen power tabs, the pi can't handle the current for both.
The 18650 cells that power it are held in my 3s2p case that I also designed and posted. this is just double sided taped inside the back lower part of the case.
