GameGear Dockable

Submitted by themaker

The GameGear dock system is similar to GameBoy docks and provides the following features:

  • Play GameGear on your TV by connecting it to the dock
  • Includes a USB-C power and rechargeable battery system
  • Can play using a Bluetooth or Master System controller

This system is made up of two boards. One board is implemented inside the GameGear and is connected to the controls. The other board is connected to the LCD controller and provides composite TV output. The TV output is routed to the new TRRS jack for audio and video signals.

Ran across this cool project.

They were using the pi pico modules tho. I decided to make my own pcb fitting the form factor of the memory card. Giving it a nice clean size and form factor

Worked out rather well, device works perfectly

Nintendo DS Lite console

Submitted by themaker

Check out one of my most exciting projects to date! I converted a Nintendo DS handheld into a standalone console, and it's packed with features that take gameplay to the next level.

With HDMI TV out, you can play your favorite DS and Gameboy Advance games on the big screen. You can easily switch between displays using the button on the console, or even map a button on your controller to do it for you.

C64 Handheld

Submitted by themaker

As a child, I had a Commodore 64 and always dreamed of having a handheld version of it. I learned to code on the C64 and spent countless hours playing games on it.

Recently, I decided to make my dream a reality and built a working board for a C64 handheld. However, I encountered some challenges with the keyboard and had to change my design. Eventually, I tested using a PCB overlay and tact buttons instead.

The firmware successfully boots straight to the prompt, just like a real C64, and it has been incredibly satisfying and fun to work on.

Nes / SMS Stick

Submitted by themaker

Ran across this project https://github.com/abiliojr/esp_8_bit

Pretty fun little emulator system. But it has some limitations. It required you to only have one emulator compiled and installed at a time. I updated the code base to add a menu. You can now select the system you want to play. And then pick a game for that system.

Also designed my own custom pcb for the device. Giving it a nice hdmi stick type form factor.

Found an hdmi output board, wired to the processor giving me the hdmi output.

8-Bit Micro

Submitted by themaker

I wanted to see just how small I could make this hand held game design.

Ended up about 40% smaller!

Still doing some testing on this one, but the system showed up as a usb device and was able to flash a screen test to it. This was successful!

Will be working on updating the drivers to work with this screen next.

The 8-Bit Handheld

Submitted by themaker

This is one I am still working on. Finished a working prototype recently. 

It supports Nes, Sega Master System, Gameboy, Gameboy color, C64, Atari, even plays wolfenstein 3d and Doom!

Super fun project. If you are interested in one let me know.

Custom designed pcb, and case. Fully compatible with software from the Odroid Go.

 

Been working on making some cases with my Resin printer with great success. 

These are fully completed and working now.
