In this project I will show you how to create a portable retro game console that can also be used as a Windows 10 tablet. It will consist of a 7" HDMI LCD with touchscreen, a LattePanda SBC, a USB Type C PD power PCB and a few more complementary components. When running a game, a common 72Wh powerbank can power the console for about 8 hours. Let's get started!

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 😁
Have you ever heard of the Uzebox and Arduboy? These are also cool do it yourself consoles.
Nice
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
Golden Axe is beautiful

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🇮🇳.
3:17 It hurts to watch you cut that cable so close
such a waste
@@yaroslavpanych2067 how is a USB male connector useless?
Jajajaja yep
You can allways open the connector and solder new longer wires into it, put case back and use shrink sleeve
lol YES
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 man started a path to Steam Deck, Lenovo Go, and many other handheld PC,s truly an inspiration.

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.
This might be my favorite build of yours. So amazing! Great job :)
Wow, I've been tinkering with design ideas similar to this. Amazing job, so simple in design!
Im debating on making a "mini" version of this. Thanks for the inspiration, Scott!
Did you???
Did you?
Did you
Did you.
Can we call this one the *Fatboi Advance*? This thing falls on your head when you're gaming in bed: RIP. Still, very cool project.
Accidental KO
and that is without batteries
real sabab oh no
But I would be so proud while playing in it
Maybe prefer cardboard, it might STILL put u into sleeppp .. la .
This is an awesome project! Very generous of you to share the plans and files. Thank you.
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.
When you said "Windows 10 tablet". LattePanda came into mind. :-D
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
Wowww! Your designing skills have significantly improved since you shifted to Fusion 360! Great job and amazing project, planning to recreate!
This is incredible, I love your projects and they keep me motivated to continue studing electronics
Thank you a lot and is a super cool console
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).
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.
This wasn’t in my recommended! I enjoy all your videos, and only realized that this video was out when you made your story about it!
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 :)
0:23 RGINHD actually did a vid a few years ago on one. So yes, they do exist, just not prevalent
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!
Thank you so for interducing me to jl pcb. In my opinion they make some of the best afordable pcbs.
You're welcome :-)
Dude, you're a genius!!!
I love your adjustable mounting plate idea for the buttons to get just the right amount of click.
I made one and played until I wake up from my video game dream. By far such a nice project to watch.
9:28 "Shoulder pads"... Proper retro. :p
If only i have enough resource for this project. Considering the whole outbreak things now.

@@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.
@@Kitsu_no_mirai hopefully soon until then stay safe
I did a gameboy on an rpi3b couple years ago, but I got to hand it to you. Yours is much cleaner, great project.
Finally, a new video! It's great as always, good job.
I honestly think a switch is cheaper at this point
It make noise tik tik tik by clicking the switch 😅
For a device with no battery
That's one THICC BOI !
My lunch box is smaller than this..!
Dude your creativity is great....the perfection on those 3D printing is freaking awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.
HAHA
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
So wait a minute! This thing is thicker than a brick, but there is no internal battery in it? xD
But nevertheless a nice project!
get yourself a calculator, use the + button many times, guess what :D
This project is a waste of money and time.

@@yaroslavpanych2067 I aproximately know what are the buttons and what are they make, but I don't know what I can measure, the type of signals, etc.
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. ;-)
Raspberry pi is arm, not really much of a upgrade from x86
That was an awesome project!! really, you out done yourself this time... WELL DONE!! : )
best voice to sleep over to...thanks man
Nintendo Switch?? Nope.
Then What Can We Do With Old Broken Tablet Screen(only)As a Extra Mobile Screen??
You can't use them directly you need seperate driver board to use that screen.
As A Extra Mobile Screen??
@@g.x.w For any purpose you need a driver for it. Which means yeah.
@@Sepkov which driver Buddy??
@@g.x.w Well sorry for late answer I didn't see that. You have find it yourself there are a lot different drivers for different screens.

that is a great idea
It is on my to do list.
Great for them who cant win keysight giveaway lol
@@II_xD_II YEah LOLL
The ADC from the arduino might have a too low resolution for a decent oscilloscope.
I like to build everything my own, It makes me feel good but this toy rather buys switch.
Loved learning about the Retroacrh! thanks for sharing
very interesting to see your design process
This man is Amazing 💙
Watch your video from Sudan 🇸🇩
THIS IS SO COOL!!!!! Nice work, love your video!!
This is awesome. I'd love to build one of these
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!
That is so cool! I was looking at those screens to use as a remote camera monitor. Now I have another use for them :)
Nice video. You've an awesome luck. Everything just goes well!
This project is simply Amazing!!! I won't probably do it but I've learned about the lattice panda....it can help me on a future project.
really inspiring keep up the good work
That exact what I was searching from 2years thanks you very much
That's pretty impressive! I must say I'm a bit jealous!
Looks Great ! Nice cases as always !
Thank you for your help I got it to work because of you
Thank you for the idea. This SBC contains a microcontroller, that is used on Arduino Leonardo.
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.
This chanel is so AWESOME!!!
this is super cool dude u got another sub
Cool project! I really liked it 👍🏻
Thats a very cool Project!
Currently making a game boy recreation out of wood, wires, and sheer will. Currently making a design, this is gonna help a lot
Saw your stoy.
Came back and liked the video :))
Love your content!!
I saw it on his story I've been awaiting for this.
Love the way you say Latte Panda
Great project
Great design
Thanks for sharing👍😀
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.
I didn't notice this in my subscription video list. Guess it got lost in with all the others. Good vid as always
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.
Watching this 3 years later and whooo... Im thinking about cramming my Dell Latitude into a portable system too
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.
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.
Your accent is very good I had no problem understanding thank you
Great project! A tribute to your old gameboy project
WOW , great work !
