This project needs a 2-4 month follow up review, including what you would have done differently, if everything is still functional, and how much you actually use it. I am tempted to build this one.
I agree
Honestly best version of this I've seen. the fact that you don't have to 3d print the case was HUGE
Also was that game gear Aladdin!?!
I wouldn't mind just buying a kit that you put together.
@@ironskilit
Or an emulator :)
@@TB-jl9fr the point is to make it phisical not virtual
@@Tyler-ev7xq
No. The point is, to make useless stuff nobody needs to kill your boredom. If you want a perfect working machine just buy a used one on eBay.
It's like painting old shit and call it "upcycling" but it's still old shit just with a expensive paint on it.
3/10 IGN ''Not enough hot glue''
"Even Apple glues their products together." - Ben Heck
why dont print the whole case?
@@Qxadinha cus it's easier to buy online
Ben's Stuff . Could make it a helluva lot easier to assemble tho
@@waltercomunello121 ye a little too much tho ik that cuz my iPhone 12 broke and I tried opening it up for some reason probably cuz I am an idiot and when I gave it to apple I told them that I didn’t open it and that it broke open when I dropped it,and they actually bought it 😂 edit:U know what, it’s probably just the iPhone 12 with tons of glue in it idk tho I never open an iPhone with glue holding the screen on like the iPhone 5 that I open a week ago
A company that manufactures hot glue should endorse you. :D
haha exactly :D
Not going to lie, if he gets a good hot glue, it's good to know when you do shit like this.
Even if it's hand made, if you can make it quality, all the better. Give it a nice sand blast and some good paintwork and you've got a quality product all your own for cheap.
Fantastic work! I have been working on a rpi project to build a virtual fireplace using an old 17" monitor mounted in portrait, but your project is a fantastic example of ingenuity. Well done!
Nice job! One of the cleanest gameboy pi builds I've ever seen!
Your Videos are...perfect. The Quality is awesome! This was the best project since a very long time!
Wow, for me this project would represent the ultimate achievement in electronics skill. Well done! Very fun and exciting. This is still beyond my skill but your guidance brings me closer to my goal. Thank you!
Great video! :) I love keeping these old games alive.
That's brilliant! It's got me interested in owning a pi just simply because it's so adaptable
Using perfboard for the button contacts is GENIUS! I never would have thought of that. Definitely going to do that on my build.
I'm glad I subscribed to this channel, you come up with the COOLEST projects! Right now I'm gathering parts to build the cocktail machine
Great build, thanks for sharing all the small details :)

Let's get started
soadering i-Ron.
Very good video! I feel like I got a little bit smarter listening to all of the information with the way you narrated it. I'm definitely going to have to try my luck on on a raspberry Pi project.
Huge amount of work! Thanks! You are either lefthanded, or you mirror you videos, and write everything backwards :)
This is great! Awesome :)
I see that this channel has finally surpassed Dave Jones Eevblog channel in subscriber count. Congrats.
man...what a work! Congratulations to that amazing handheld!!!
I don't always subscribe to channels often, - but when I do, they damn well deserve the subscription.
Hey, I'd like to seer your take on a smart mirror (a mirror with a display behind it, showing temperature, time, weather, schedule for the day, etc.) some time. Is it on your list yet?
Funny how a homemade gameboy still has more features than the iPhone 7 (audio jack)
Shots fired
Vitrocity BUUURN!
And the games on the homemade gameboy dont have any Ads in them unlike games on mobile phones 😂
It doesn't have more. It has different features.
schl4u it was a joke
awesome !!!!! as always your videos never stop to amaze me ! this project its wonderful !
parabéns cara , sua inteligência me espanta , nunca imaginei ver uma coisa dessas , mais uma vez parabéns.
Nice! But one thing is bothering me: That the LCD is fed with composite video. :/
Hi Scott!
I loved this project! It inspired me so much, I ordered all the needed components immediately after the first part :D. I thinked about it pretty much and I have one question: What happens when the battery protection circuit cuts the power? Because if it don't save and shut down the pi before the the circuit cuts the power, all your game progress will lost.
I have an idea how to solve this but I'm really not into the PI stuff (like to play with the arduino and esp8266 better), so can you help me with this please?
I'll use a 18650 li-ion cell with a charging/protector module from aliexpress (it's dirt cheap, abut 0.5$ /piece) with a 5V Boost converter. With a voltage divider I'am able to scale the battery voltage down so i can connect it to an analog pin on the zero. So here is the problem: I don't know how to monitor the analog pin in the software and run a script which saves the gamestate and make a soft shutdown if the battery voltage reaches 2.8V from RetroPie (or Recalbox, from this perspective it's basically the same).
Love your channel, keep up the amazing content!
Best regards!
This was an awesome creation , I just discovered Arduino and raspberry pi and for years I’ve had many crazy off the wall ideas and creations I dream of making but never could attempt to do so cause I was lacking the knowledge and the smart technology’s I needed to compete the tasks required & man my heart is racing cause I can’t wait to start my first project I’m not even sure what i want to start with cause I’ve had so many ideas in the past lol
I will never be able to do this, but just for this reason you should receive more like as possible in this world! You did a miracle, man! Godd job.

wow.... you're just amazing genius :-D
Wow, that looks really cool. Keep up the good work
Very cool to see a project like that coming alive! 😎👍
Something about the lead free solder with all its spikes and messiness hurts me deep down inside.
How do you deal with shutting down the Pi properly? You can't just be switching off the power, can you?
You can shut it down through the main menu. And then I kill the power.
Do you know of a circuit you can use to push a button to turn it on, and then push a button to turn it off--but the system shutdown properly and then cuts power so the battery doesn't get used up? I am in dire need of something like that.
Rick Seiden you can just switch off the power, you don't have to shut it down like a pc
It's a Linux system. They have to be shutdown properly before being powered off, or you will corrupt the file system. Basically, these really are mini pcs, and need to be treated like that.
That will risk corrupting your sd-card.
@Rick there are other projects on the Gameboy pi out there that handle that problem, however it's fairly simple, you need a voltage monitor chip and for example a program that runs in the background of the RPi listening on a certain pin, if that GPIO is pull high/low from the monitor alarm it will the initiate a shutdown. You can even make the system check so that your program is always running.
Very nice build video, as always!
this is awesome and I love the ground up build.
'With a bit of hot glue...', start your word or sentence with this, then everything is possible. #justkidding
was the volume wheel just for aesthetic, or did i just miss how you made it function.
I explained it in part 1
Awesome project thank you for your easy to understand tutorials 👍🏻
You are the best engineer man. Way to go
So. Much. *HOT GLUE*
who is watching this just to not understand ANYTHING?
Congrats for your wonderful projects !!!!
Thanks for doing it, i ask for this like 3 or 4 months ago, thats why you are the best
This video was sponsored by HOT SNOT™ - the hot glue company.
The 3D printing section of this project is pretty much what makes it impossible for me to make.
Not that I ever did something that creative myself using a Pi but I don't have access to 3D printers either.
Still a well made and yet simple looking Pi GameBoy.
You could always order the button wells from the link in the description and create the cartridge slot from another material. Maybe wood.
3D printer is not necessary, make things easier yes, but necessary no. There is always a workaround when a 3D printer is on the screen.
This videos not step-by-step tutorials, rather than inspirational videos.
The button wells aren't necessary. I do have access to a 3d printer but even without it I could have built mi GB zero. You can also use some polymer clay like Fimo to shape the wells, bake it in a kitchen oven and glue that in place. You can also just use the original metal plate just make sure it's insulated. My project doesn't look anything like his inside. The only 3d printing I did was for the wells and even that isn't necessary.
you can get a sheet of ABS plastic for the backing cover, or just buy two cases and salvage the button wells if you feel the need to retain them. they arent expensive.
One hell of a DIY! Awesome man. 👍😎
Well done and very inspirational. Great Scott!
Hot glue gun: A maker's best friend!
I'm watering my bonsai with an arduino, does that count for something here ? xD
Cool. Have you a Tutorial?
Excellent video. I have been wanting to do this for years. Thanks for the video.
awesome job! tons of work/patience.
I wish I had the patience and time to do this..
Everybody can have time. To complete this you'll need knowledge and skill.
Which everybody can get with time
Obviously not.
Furrane Everybody can get skills and knowledge, with time and patience. You just have believe in yourself! Nobody is born with skills and knowledge, it's aquired over time. :)
Life ain't a manga dude, some people are not cut for some things period. Someone might not be good at understanding maths or litterature or electronics or art or anything really.
How many hot glue sticks you used? :D
Not even one
Looked like a lot of hot glue ;) Great project! :)
jakubste that bit you in the ass. Lol
Fantastic Video Dude. Very Cool. Keep up the great work. Nick.
Very creative! Keep up the awesome vids!
Now make a Nintendo Switch with a Raspberry Pi !
okey
Nope
i could do all that shit but itll take me maybe 10 yrs to do it. ok 15.
He makes it look so easy. Very impressive .
This made me happy. I especially appreciate your quaint way of speaking. 🙂
Seriously, is there any electronic stuff you can't deal with?
Yes, electronics is a huge field. There is plenty of stuff I can not do.
GreatScott! You must be lying lol
Haha, just saying. Really enjoy watching your video. Anyway, keep making videos, because indirectly you are helping lots of electronic engineering student getting their degrees!
No really please. Psp go version of this please. I would offer to subscribe and like, but I already have haha
This is so cool. Well done!
I've learned a lot from you dude. Very cool.
you dont have any plans of selling it right? xD
nup
MEe$ are you great Scott?
Nope he doesn't sell his projects. He already said that in one of his Q&A&C videos.
no but if he sold it, he would say it.
but can it run crysis?
What was the total cost of this project?
Not sure. Since I had a lot of the parts laying around it was only around 50-60$ for me.
GreatScott! Ok thanks. I want to make one, but I don't really have much cash.
Wish I had access to the parts you have laying around. I've been taking apart everything i can get ahold of just for parts. Ordering them from Ebay is a pain in the ass with scammers and long wait times.

Check your local electronics store. My brother got ten thousand resistors for 2€ because they were being replaced and some had the wrong color coding.
Felixkeeg We don't have an electronics store... We order all of it online.
This video had so much content and its 8mins long, awesome!
Amazing! Love your videos mate! I wish I had these type of skills lol, I would make so many things.
but why did you not 3d print the case ?
Trupti Ganage good point
Its DIY - the fact he didn't 3D print it makes it way more DIY
But if he would print it, Then he would not have to do all that cutting and trimming
Trupti Ganage For those that don't have printers and want to manually create the case.
abid latif Didn't think of that. I just remember for some of his previous projects, he created cases from scratch.
Girls can play this why can't it be called gameboy girl ?
Dat Hacker It was due to the video game crash so they marketed the SNED as a boys toy and kept doing that
Girls are too smart to play with silly toys like this, thats why ;-)
SHARE H!S V!S!0N thats right
instead of playing with silly toys , girls would rather try to get internet famous
great effort 😊
I'm a big fan of yours.
That is absolutely awesome! Great job!
Nice build! I find your voice quite relaxing!
the great part about this guy is that he make all the project out of his passion ,not for likes or views....i am a commerce student and dont understand much things you do but i still like to watch your videos.. ;)
that is very neat! great work
amazing project scott.
Always Great Mr Scott.
Amazing set of videos.
Wow! Amazing friend! Just amazing!
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen on youtube.
Fantastic video. I will add this to my next project list! Subbed!
u are good at it mate , carry on..
Very interesting project, good job!
Very nice Video Mr. Scott
great as always, greetings from Indonesia Scott ^_^
Amazing work !!!
All the best
This project is stupid powerful!! Thanks I'll definetly try it
Wow, this is fantastic! Thank you for the video!
Very nice work man! :)
Man, you are unbelieveble genius!
That was awesome good job bro
Awesome video!! Keep making such
What I can say,, you are genius,, that's so perfect and organizer.
Simply I like it 👍🏻👍🏻
unbelievable - no words... just impressed
DUDE!!! I cant tell you how kick ass this is!! Woww great job!
I like the fact that you didn't spam hot glue to keep things in place. Screws are very underrated.
superb work well done!
wow, Awesome video man.
One of my fave videos that inspired some of my stuff! Thank you!
very cool project, thanks for sharing!
