Raspberry Pi CM4 Gaming Handheld: Retro Lite CM4 - First Look
ฝัง

- A quick look at the Retro Pie handheld I’m building with my good friend spanning over 12 months. The system is powered by the latest Raspberry Pi CM4 module (2GB RAM, with wireless) and lasts around 4 hours on a full charge. The only thing I’m missing is HDMI out for the prototype PCB, but that should be fixed pretty soon.
It plays up to Dreamcast and PSP at full speed, the PCB hopefully being upgradable in the future with newer compute modules. The case is 6061 aluminum metal anodized green, and the bezel is from an original switch lite screen protector that has been painted.
Not officially finished but we’re pretty close.
More details can be found here if you’re interested in building your own:

Note: Some lockups/frame drops were due to crosstalk on the SD card clock line. Don’t route digital in parallel with analog signals! Woops! Now fixed on latest version.
This build is looking beautiful! And you have a battery life indicator too, it seems!
Thanks Jeff! We used the MAX17055 from maxim over i2c and wrote out our own C code for it. It’s a pretty little useful IC, it can provide a bunch of information about the battery just by reading some registers after initializing it. Would recommend it if you need an easy to use fuel gauge. We’ve made some progress on the display now, showing % values of SoC via dispmanx also.
@@stonededge That's awesome, I wish more builds would go the extra mile like you have. Shows a lot of dedication to the polish, not just hitting the MVP. (Also that fun little intro animation)
@@JeffGeerling The Nintendo Ninjas are after me for that intro 🤣
@@stonededge Heh... I guess it does lean heavily on their presumably-copyrighted marks.
You got the Emulation Station running a Dream on here. The device looks really well built. You guys are awesome🔥🔥👍🏾
I love how EmulationStation has the Switch sound effects in it
Holy Cow! that is great work. Your work is amazing. Looking forward to mid 2022. That would be great to get one of those.
Very impressing handheld. I love it.
Beautiful!
I remember a little while ago my friend managed to get a full quiet boot from kernel to running an app with an animation showing until the application started, I'll have to find out how they did it but I think that would look great on here
Definitely super interested in getting a kit whenever you finish it.
I know the case is custom milled, but is there any chance that genuine switch lite shells would be compatible (with modification) when all the modules are completed?
what a beautiful project, I was happy to see something like this, are you making available or even selling the files for printing? I really want one of these for me, I'm amazed
Great job
I'd buy that for a dollar!!!
No seriously. This looks amazing.
Awesome!
This thing is sick
Thanks!
@@stonededge what systems does it play
Absolutely fucking awesome!!! Will you guys be releasing build kits or something?
Plan is to hopefully make a kit with slight changes to the design in early to mid 2022, once the chip shortages get a bit better. Right now a lot of parts just aren’t easily obtainable. The CM4 is also impossible to find anywhere right now. Unobtanium.
@@stonededge I'll be waiting in anticipation, good luck with the awesome project!!!
That's some serious shit right there. Does your cooling solution allow for overclocking?
Yup, there’s a fan and heatsink inside so you can overclock it if you wish to.
So glad do I get one?
I definitely...Wanna make one of these o.o
Is it possible to buy this handheld case? :)
I just got the Raspberry Pi 4 8gb. I wonder how this will do lol. How much are you selling the kits for?
How did you do the controls did you just gut out joycons?
It uses an ATMEGA32u4 for the controller. There’s no joycon hardware in there.
That aspect ratio 😩
arcade machines are missing and what can be done in citra 3ds
Wow, this is really cool! Shut up and take my money!
Donde lo compro?
Does it let you install the sh games from gog? Like Hollow knight
I haven’t tried that out but hollow knight is a 64-bit game, it won’t run with the current OS (RetroPie) which is only 32-bit. I’ve been playing an Android Port of it though and it’s been fantastic with Android 11.
Does this cost as much as a switch?
Yeah, it’s more expensive lol
Can it be plugged to the TV? Open source? How much?
Yes it can. Currently it’s not open source and I don’t know if we will sell it yet. Sorry.
@@stonededge Ohhhh. Interesting device nonetheless.
Where can I get mine!
Hopefully when the chip shortages end!
@@stonededge When it does, I'll take your entire stock!
Where can I buy this?
You can reach out to my email listed in my Twitter bio for commissions (StonedEdgeMods) however this is not going to be a mass produced device at low cost…
@@stonededge oh okay thank you
are your batteries series or parallel?
It’s a 1S pack
This bezels… like odroid. Screen from rgb10 max looks more interesting. Hmm. Interesting what is more powerful, raspberry pi or Rockchip 3326
CM4 is more powerful than that chip
@@stonededge cool. Thanx
Wow that is a mean green fighting machine. That cm4 chip handles playstation an n64 like they stole its lunch money 💰👉 but seriously gameplay looks like its very stable and the hand helds astetics are beautiful 😍
@@stonededge is this opensource the pcb files ?
@@jarno2427 Not yet, sorry
If it is anything like the other pis it will overheat and die in a month with no fan
There is a fan inside
