I am currently planning a more powerful version of this project with analog sticks and the ability to use PlayStation Now. So if you got ideas for improvements then let me know :-)
You really did an amazing job! Some ways of improvements: - add a battery and BMS - put the last screws (10:58) at the bottom - to save space (I mean: a LOT of space) you can desolder some of the ports such as the two USB-A. I bet you can save 1.5cm of overall thickness - about the button: if you plan on adding a directional cross instead of four buttons, take a look a Jiri Praus' brass Gameboy. There are a some ideas you could steal from his design. - one last: please, please use silicon wire 😂 That's all I have in mind for the moment. But again, this is an amazing project. I can't wait to see version 2! And for sure I will build mine 👍🏻 PS: "but how the heck can he post comments a week before the video is released???" comments incoming 😁
First off, love the console. I think in terms of the design it could be more "comfortable" I know I am just watching it and haven't actually held it but I think more curved edges (similar to the Vita and psp) and make sure to place the analog sticks at a diagonal from the buttons because that's more comfortable for thumbs to move (diagonally) rather than up and down which is a thing people find especially annoying about the switch. (Also looks like it has space for more buttons overall?? idk) I think some of Ben Hecks portables are a good reference for nice designs. Looks awesome, good luck with the next version
You are inspiring. Because of you I brought my first arduino. Now I made an autonomous car using arduino and raspberry Pi. Thank you for inspiring me. From India🇮🇳.
Watching this video really makes me appreciate all the R&D, Engineering, Design, Ergonomics, and Planning that go into making a console like the Switch. It's really hard work and I salute you for building your own hand held console, there is soooo much that goes into it. Thank you.
This is why I absolutely love your channel. I’ve been looking for a touch screen monitor for soooo long; a screen with all this features. Your the best Scott, keep up the great work!!! Thank you
Hi sir!, Jhun here from Philippines! I just want to say thank you for all your diy videos, I am now starting a channel of my own catering tutorials for the filipino community, I am getting a lot of positive feedbacks, I didn't expect it, I wonder why they like it so much, I remembered throughout the years I was watching quality tutorials on TH-cam, and Im very proud to say that I am a product of this channel. You may never see me on the comment sections but im here lurking liking. =) thanks a lot sir! long live!
As a second version you can desolder the GPIO, RJ-45 and other big components and solder wires to them directly, that way you can make the device a bit slimmer. Also you can redesign the shape the left and right back sides of the device so that its more like a controller (comfortable).
This is perfect! I had just started planning a very similar build using a 7" HDMI display, a Pi 4 and Teensy for game controller inputs and I wasn't sure where to get a proper HDMI cable and then you post this video! I'm going to be integrating a Blackberry trackball into mine which will connect as a USB HID device and be used as the mouse with shoulder buttons "I hope" for left and right click, as well as a third button to latch and unlatch scroll wheel functionality. Luckily somebody already made all of he teensy code for that. Maybe this is something you could add to the next iteration of your project. I'm also hoping to integrate a small wireless keyboard, initially I had planned to make a space inside the case where it could be stored but not seeing something similar all put together I don't think that's such a great idea. I am interested to see how you are going to approach making this completely portable. I'm planning to get a flat LiPo pack, as large as I can fit in the case to maximize battery life and will be digging through your videos to find an appropriate power distribution and charging circuit because I'm clearly going to need something that can do better than 1 amp. I hope you have something for that already. I'm going to be using a display I already have that is designed to operate at 12 - 40 VDC so you probably already know what buck converter I'll be bypassing :) Great work as always man.
I would love to see him take this to the next level, and make this so much more well rounded, and easier to use by doing one or two of the following: Get proper control of the backlight(not just by using the monitors OSD/controls, but a descrete adjustment or maybe even get it to work with the windows stock system screen management) I would certainly offer up a good bounty to see this done. And two getting windows to read in the values for the battery to to windows "fuel" gauge to show it what the battery charge is as if it was a legitimate laptop, something I have spent hundreds of dollars and hours trying to do, unseccesfully a while back.
man, this is totally inspiring! what i want to build is not a game console, but you gave me the motivation to keep researching and setting up my machine! thank you, youtube need more tubers like you.
So it definitely needs to get a LOT thinner. Some thoughts: Smaller speaker, (but maybe x2). Cut the unwired space of the PCB. Rework the button mounting (you could use a slide mount, instead of screws). Don't use "standard" plugs inside, instead hard wire everything you can, or at least get rid of the big housing somehow. "Puzzle" a little around with your parts first and don't be afraid to design some parts or everything "tilted". Also think about ergonomic holding "depths" and spacing, but also about how the weight of the device fells in your hand and how you can deal with that, by using just an ergonomic design. Don't worry about the battery size. Give it the last thought and look then at your prototype and think about form factor and capacity then.
Currently working on a similar project, but trying to use a 8" screen with a 4:3 ratio... and maybe a setup, where you can swap an analog stick for an arcade. But each as he fancies :)
Wow this is fantastic. I work in manufacturing but more in the mechanical/machining side of engineering, however I've recently been inspired by electronics and have to say your videos are the best! Think I may start on something a little easier to make however for my first project haha
I absolutely LOVE the way that you always say "Les ge starred" and "tay creative" as well as "and I wiw se yoo nex time!" I really think its pretty. Also, I'm not being sarcastic.
This is fantastic. I love the design and the build quality is awesome. A retro/Win combi device is exactly what the community needs. USB type C is indeed the best choice. Awesome build and thanks for sharing.
FIRERACER WORKSHOP I don’t believe you understand the point of this project. The point is to gain the satisfaction of building something your own while gaining a bit of software and electrical knowledge.
@@calderbmx1838 I do understand the point of the project but spending a hell lot money is really not a very good solution. I would prefer to buy a 10inch tablet.
Lmao this is crazy it's like an extremely limited Steam Deck/ROG Ally before they were even a thing. (I mean yeah, other PC handhelds existed from companies like GPD but who knew about them back then?) Very cool. It's unfortunate that it probably wasn't powerful enough to run PC games that would be any kind of graphically demanding, despite being a windows handheld. Nowadays there's a million different retro handhelds you could pick from for less than you spent on this project that can emulate as much if not more than this could, but this is still cool because you literally built the thing yourself!
@@ShahZahid i mean i short of money to buy some part. At least i can wait till the outbreak end. And try this project. Hopefully. Don't know when it will end.
The entire time I was watching this video, guessing in how long it would've taken this one man to create this console, all I could think about were the people who still think the Smach Z isn't a giant scam after so many years of no development
This is the kind of projects I want to see! Love it! I tried doing the same thing with a thick book I got from the book store, and cutting out all the pages. Putting a screen inside together with Batteries and a raspberry pi. Sadly, I wasn't allowed to bring it to work.. and charging it was a big issue, so I didn't touch it again
Great video! If you just need 5V/3A you can even build this without a dedicated USB-PD PCB. The USB-C standard allows for drawing up to 3A from a compatible power supply. Just hook up a 5.1kOhm pulldown resistor between CC and the GND pin and if the voltage over it is about 1.5V you can easily draw 3A from the power supply.
Nice video to show how seemingly simple it was for you to make this console. Luckily you included some shots such as the number of case revisions to show that this wasn't a one day build. Well done!
Hey GreattScott! Can you make a tutorial about how to use an oscilloscope? Because I am begginer and the most tutorial on the youtube are so complicatet Thanks!
See raspberry pie tablet video by dd electro tech.. That will Definitely help you for adding a battery or a more powerful computer with cooling or just much small form factor. ;-)
What I've learned from using a USB A-B cable as cheap internal cable: They are quite stiff. This results in high mechanical stress at the thin wires (outside of stripped cable) and especially at the solder joints. That is why I now collect the thinner and much more flexible USB cables like from old mice. :-)
I have not read any of the comments, but I watch a lot of your videos. I am in the middle of so many projects at the moment. Anyway, I watched this a few weeks ago and wanted to give it a go. I had a few problems, but actually have a working system, Next step is making it portable. Anyway, I have been watching your videos for a few years and you have inspired me quite a bit. Any way, I want to say thank you. I can not help financially I can say thank you, and you are doing a great job, and I love your work. I have not had a windows machine in 20 years, as I have been using Linux. There are a few devices or programs that I have that do not run well under Linux or completely. The lattepanda was a cheep solution. Never heard of this device until this video. This is a perfect solution for me. portable. Awesome. All I can say is thank our for inspiring me over the years... You are awesome!!!!
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! also just as a fun thing you always say the last syllable for another half a second. like the word latte panda, you say latte pandaaa. lol great vid though
Pretty awesome. I'm surprised you didn't put the battery bank within the case, or use one of those battery controllers to integrate a power source into it, this way it'd be a great portable gaming rig (for retro games), and heck, with a wireless keyboard and mouse, you could use it as a tiny laptop if you need.
Forgot to set the bell thingy to 'all', now I'm surprised how many uploads I've missed in the last couple months. Thought your channel was dead, and am glad it's not.
The man has officially recreated the console; There was no need to try so hard, it's separate, so buy a broken retro handheld or psp and mount it on it man :)
For anyone considering this, start with a cheap 8" windows tablet instead. Same processor and ram as the lower end latte panda but includes a screen and battery for less than the cost of the latte panda board on its own. The mainboard is also a lot thinner than the latte panda so you can build something that isn't so thick. The big benefit of a unit like this over something that runs retropie is the ability to play older PC titles as well. Most games up till about 2003 should run well on a device like this, some even later than that will run depending on how well optimized they are. So far I've successfully run Halo 1, Need for speed underground (1, 2 and most wanted), Morrowind, Unreal Tournament 1 and 2, Simpsons hit and run, GTA 3 and a few others all on this same hardware. Its also terrific on steam link (yes I know you can do that on a PI too). Here's a link to the build thread for my version of a PC based portable: bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/diy-concept-ufo.3339/
The project is so fun to make, and I have been planning to so this exact same project since the LATTEPANDA has been out, but after much more thinking, I had to abandon the idea ‘cuz the budget didn’t make any since. It’d cost around $300-$400 to build the system, meanwhile I can buy a well spec’d used laptop with a great battery and just use that for less than half the price (in my case, bigger didn’t mean a problem). I’d say the project would’ve been better in terms of costs if a RaspberryPi 4 was used instead, you really don’t need a windows machine for retroarch. As always, great and well made video scott! Well done.
I ran into a similar power issue with a Raspberry Pi and a display along with some accessories. What I ended up doing was using two USB cables with a DPST switch that would let me turn them both on and off at the same time. Turn the switch on, the screen and Pi would turn on. When you were done, press a button that would run a shutdown command on the Pi, wait for it to finish shutting down, and turn off the power switch.
Even if i did subscribed you.. i wasn't getting any updates from you.. needless to say i missed a lot videos from you.. Now that i understood the problem of the youtube algorithm i will try to like every video of your even if i dont.. Great video as always .. keep making such videos for us..
“Sadly such a device doesn’t exist” yes they do, alittle research and you can find gpd win series or even the aya neo which was build way before this video

YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! also just as a fun thing you always say the last syllable for another half a second. like the word latte panda, you say latte pandaaa. lol great vid though
Pretty awesome. I'm surprised you didn't put the battery bank within the case, or use one of those battery controllers to integrate a power source into it, this way it'd be a great portable gaming rig (for retro games), and heck, with a wireless keyboard and mouse, you could use it as a tiny laptop if you need.
Forgot to set the bell thingy to 'all', now I'm surprised how many uploads I've missed in the last couple months. Thought your channel was dead, and am glad it's not.
Currently making a game boy recreation out of wood, wires, and sheer will. Currently making a design, this is gonna help a lot
The man has officially recreated the console; There was no need to try so hard, it's separate, so buy a broken retro handheld or psp and mount it on it man :)
Watching this 3 years later and whooo... Im thinking about cramming my Dell Latitude into a portable system too
For anyone considering this, start with a cheap 8" windows tablet instead. Same processor and ram as the lower end latte panda but includes a screen and battery for less than the cost of the latte panda board on its own. The mainboard is also a lot thinner than the latte panda so you can build something that isn't so thick.
The big benefit of a unit like this over something that runs retropie is the ability to play older PC titles as well. Most games up till about 2003 should run well on a device like this, some even later than that will run depending on how well optimized they are. So far I've successfully run Halo 1, Need for speed underground (1, 2 and most wanted), Morrowind, Unreal Tournament 1 and 2, Simpsons hit and run, GTA 3 and a few others all on this same hardware. Its also terrific on steam link (yes I know you can do that on a PI too).
Here's a link to the build thread for my version of a PC based portable: bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/diy-concept-ufo.3339/
Wie, this is literally one if your best projects to date... I'd love to see you upgrade thta
GreatScott, you never fail to amaze me!
I don't know why, but i saw this video on your stories, never got notification , so probably it is the algorithm .
Thank you for the idea. This SBC contains a microcontroller, that is used on Arduino Leonardo.
The project is so fun to make, and I have been planning to so this exact same project since the LATTEPANDA has been out, but after much more thinking, I had to abandon the idea ‘cuz the budget didn’t make any since. It’d cost around $300-$400 to build the system, meanwhile I can buy a well spec’d used laptop with a great battery and just use that for less than half the price (in my case, bigger didn’t mean a problem).
I’d say the project would’ve been better in terms of costs if a RaspberryPi 4 was used instead, you really don’t need a windows machine for retroarch.
As always, great and well made video scott! Well done.
I ran into a similar power issue with a Raspberry Pi and a display along with some accessories. What I ended up doing was using two USB cables with a DPST switch that would let me turn them both on and off at the same time. Turn the switch on, the screen and Pi would turn on. When you were done, press a button that would run a shutdown command on the Pi, wait for it to finish shutting down, and turn off the power switch.
That's pretty impressive! I must say I'm a bit jealous!
It’d be cool to build it with a stripped down power bank inside with a charging port.
Fantastic build!
This man is Amazing 💙
Watch your video from Sudan 🇸🇩
This is awesome. I'd love to build one of these
GPD XD+ is $220. Granted, it's android, but pretty awesome. Also, GPD Win2 is exactly this (for a lot more). But I understand the value of DIY.
Nice video. You've an awesome luck. Everything just goes well!
The plastic printer is so satisfying to watch
Even if i did subscribed you.. i wasn't getting any updates from you.. needless to say i missed a lot videos from you..
Now that i understood the problem of the youtube algorithm i will try to like every video of your even if i dont..
Great video as always .. keep making such videos for us..
I just saw your story about this, and under performing.
I never got this video in my subscription notifications or recommended feed.
Nice project!
“Sadly such a device doesn’t exist” yes they do, alittle research and you can find gpd win series or even the aya neo which was build way before this video
Wow, this is awesome! I can't wait to own my own 3d printer...
then you can finally print a flat sheet of plastic to draw your art on, brilliant idea!
Love the way you say Latte Panda
Man I wish I was as good at designing as you are. It took me an hour to make a blind clip, where you made this huge custom case in 10hrs
That is so cool! I was looking at those screens to use as a remote camera monitor. Now I have another use for them :)
9:12 I mean... your sponsor is a PCB board house, right? :) Neat to see something else than a Raspberry PI inside something like that!
Before I clicked the vid, I was thinking about the latte panda, and here it is!
