With the new pi zero W, this just gets even better. Probably enough room for 2x micro USB ports on the front, using 30 awg kynar mod wire. And usb controllers can use OTG adapters easily.
yo those mini cartridges actually working really impressed me, i ve seen alot of raspberry pis in console casings but actual working cartridges!? thats awesome
Yep, that's quite amazing. The modder actually used the original gameboy cartridge slot, soldered the slot pins to the microSD pins of the Raspberry Pi Zero and soldered an actual microSD adapter into a custom cartridge.
Actually I believe he used NFC to do it, contrary to his last video on an Raspberry Pi NES console. He just put NFC tags in the cards that made the console run whatever game the tag told it to run, and could manipulate the tag using his phone.
Nice looking forward to the Nintendo you were originally working on. PCB boards look great saw on and off switches and nfc slots. looking forward to this.
Thats dope man! Do you own your 3D printer? or do you get the shell printed for you by someone? I make retro videos on my channel, really might consider ordering a kit, then getting my mate to print the housing. I would like to do an in-depth review!
They both look absolutely fantastic - great attention to detail. Not sure if you're aware of it, but there's a great controller that you could use with these builds - the NES30. I've got one and they're great for NES/SNES games (also Bluetooth so would connect just fine).
Here is an idea. put the USB ports for the controllers in the 'lid' part where the games would have gone in the original system. it seems as though that space is being wasted, so that might be an interesting way to use it
Question, 1) Will this case work/fit with the pi zero W model (Wireless)? 2) does it have room for a heat-sink if I cut out/dont install the cartrage functionality? 3) What switches/buttons did you use on the case to power on/restart the pi? Cheers!
Wow! The mini-er really takes my fancy lol. Just wondering weather Lakka would be a better option here. Retropie is awsome but Lakka does seem o boot into games a little quicker on the zero. Also 8bitdo do bluetooth nes style controllers. Might be worth a look. Great video by the way.
mike regarding your normal size NES 3d printed shell, are the files you released easy enough to alter?. As i would like to mkae my 3d printed case slightly larger than your model, obviosuly id need to keep the hdmi and micro usb section of the case at the same scale however?
@daftmike, which NFC tags did you used for the Mini(er) cartridges? Also, any pointer as to how you did the power/reset management with the Arduino on this version? Amazing job!!!
I am so printing that micro nes tomorrow, I have a pi0w where can I order the rest of the internal electronics from, not to worried anout the nfc just the power and LED set up.
Domenico Lamberti It looks like the one from Pimoroni [dot] com. The "Three Port USB Hub with Ethernet." You can pick up similar hubs on Amazon for around £10.
10% more smaller awesomeness. You(or Nintendo) could make a killing just selling the cute plastic cartridges. P.S. I really enjoy these videos. Much better than TV.
Excellent work yet again, love it. Just wondering though does the Wii Pro Controller have any input lag? I found using the Pi 3 with an 8bitdo SNES30 generated a little lag although I was using analogue audio and had my TV set to game mode. I do all my emulation on Retroarch via a Intel NUC 5th gen i3 system and it works lovely with Dualshock 4 controllers. Do you reckon it would be possible to design a NES case for the Intel NUC albeit multiple versions? lol
I'm not sure about the lag. I don't notice any, but tbh I don't play too seriously and might just not be sensitive to it. If the Intel NUCs weren't 10x the price of a Raspberry Pi I might design a case for it lol.
Yeah, I guess I am a little too serious when it comes to emulation, lol. I fully understand the price cost of the NUC also not being a popular option for most people. Raspberry Pi's are amazing what they can do and cost so little also. Once again great work which puts Nintendo's new NES mini to shame (In my opinion).
couldnt you just power it on with the power button itself instead of the reset button? Like a long press for power then a touch for the game? and year reset for an actual reset of the game if not an escape to the menu of games in ES.
how did you deal with power? In the mini one you said you were adding a new micro usb port for power. But both in your original mini and now in this mini(er) case you use the micro usb port from the pi itself and still have a proper boot up sequence.
In my first build I intercepted the power coming in from the micro usb port and controlled it with the arduino and a high-side mosfet switch. In this build I don't control the power at all, the arduino just holds the Raspberry Pi's reset line low when I want it to be 'off' and allows it to go high when I want it to turn on. Kind of a virtual power switch really.
I love your projects and want to make the raspberry pi3 version as school project, because my school has a professional 3d printer, is it possible to talk to you in private chat, because i have some questions
Can somebody help me? I'm trying to put together a complete Mini(er) NESPi with NFC reader and power management from the Arduino. My main question is how does the 'power on' works, if the USB power cable connects directly to the Raspberry Pi Zero?
I printed the case already, came out perfect. I did it in blue as a test run 1st though to see how it would come out on my printer.. his tolerances are perfect, I'd suggest printing the case and all the bits before u get the parts so u can test fit everything and glue it up ready to go/ same with cartidges, just don't glue them closed yet =)
I love the small cartridges. I would collect all of them.
Ultimo D me too
With the new pi zero W, this just gets even better.
Probably enough room for 2x micro USB ports on the front, using 30 awg kynar mod wire. And usb controllers can use OTG adapters easily.
yo those mini cartridges actually working really impressed me, i ve seen alot of raspberry pis in console casings but actual working cartridges!? thats awesome
I think it would be pretty cool if you made a raspberry pi game boy with a functional cartridge slot! Awesome work man.
+Time Waster Digital really
Yep, that's quite amazing. The modder actually used the original gameboy cartridge slot, soldered the slot pins to the microSD pins of the Raspberry Pi Zero and soldered an actual microSD adapter into a custom cartridge.

Alessandro Porcelli cool
He’s talking bout Wermy and the gameboy zero
using the NFC reader and using custom carts is genius. Bravo Daftmike 👏
I am speechless to how awesome this is.
That cartridge loading is fantastic!!
I saw gyromite, are you going to build 30% size of R.O.B? Love the project, the nfc feature is awesome.
There's already a fantastic Mini R.O.B model on Thingiverse here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:1494964
maybe I'll add some servos to get it working...
Nice looking forward to the Nintendo you were originally working on. PCB boards look great saw on and off switches and nfc slots. looking forward to this.

I just love the work you're doing here man, it is also insanely cute and feeds my obsession with miniature things Perfect.

Cheers!
It will work with the W, it's the same size.
You should of blown on the mini-er cartridge for nostalgic humor!
I noticed the absence of blowing in the cartridge at 4:50 ;-)
Wow! The mini-er really takes my fancy lol. Just wondering weather Lakka would be a better option here. Retropie is awsome but Lakka does seem o boot into games a little quicker on the zero.
Also 8bitdo do bluetooth nes style controllers. Might be worth a look. Great video by the way.
love the minier console
Damn, fella - another great project! Your USP's quality and detail.

Try this model: www.thingiverse.com/thing:1035878
It's larger than mine and looks very accurate.
loving your work dude
Kudos mate. This is beautiful.
hope the mini carts are just a fun novelty , don't sell them , all the rod are on the system already
The problem with 3D printing is that it may look awful when you look close.
@daftmike, which NFC tags did you used for the Mini(er) cartridges? Also, any pointer as to how you did the power/reset management with the Arduino on this version? Amazing job!!!
I am so printing that micro nes tomorrow, I have a pi0w where can I order the rest of the internal electronics from, not to worried anout the nfc just the power and LED set up.
Man, you are a legend. This is awesome!
This is great! What 3d printer do you own/use?
For snes and n64
That's one cute little console
where can I get that MicroUSB hub? that looks awesome
Domenico Lamberti It looks like the one from Pimoroni [dot] com. The "Three Port USB Hub with Ethernet." You can pick up similar hubs on Amazon for around £10.
Any updates on the cool project?
are you gonna do the toner transfer thing for this too?
Where can I find a wiring diagram for the mini NES with Raspberry pie zero
10% more smaller awesomeness. You(or Nintendo) could make a killing just selling the cute plastic cartridges.
P.S. I really enjoy these videos. Much better than TV.
Great Project! I hope you use in an other project the pi zero for a portable console, like a gameboy or a GBA ::-)

@spiritualastralsoul I'm agree with your opinion!

Where can I get the switch or click button for the cartridge tray at?
that is awesome. cant wait until you make a Mini NES raspberry Pi 3 Console :D
Rogelio Vela "Roger" the pi 2 and pi 3 have the same dimensions.
Could I get a part number and where to buy on the NFC reader and adrino
0:10 the original new says Nintendo Entertainment Syste
can you do a hole for the sd card slot?
Awesome, the Zero is the one I have
can you plzzz make a snes with a raspberry pi.
you have the mini + nes cartridges to sell
Build tutorial? I've 3D printed everything.
do you sell any of these?
most of us don't have a 3d printer
You can have a printing service ship the parts to you. Just google "3d printing service" Then buy the other components.
how did you deal with power? In the mini one you said you were adding a new micro usb port for power. But both in your original mini and now in this mini(er) case you use the micro usb port from the pi itself and still have a proper boot up sequence.

How you get the wiiu controller to work with the mini nes?
This is really neat!!
how many raspberry pis do you personally own right now
I have 3 been tempted to buy the 3 but I end up buying them and not using them as much as id imagine
Make A Mini R.O.B. That Moves Much Quicker (And Maybe Makes Less Noise!)
I love your projects and want to make the raspberry pi3 version as school project, because my school has a professional 3d printer, is it possible to talk to you in private chat, because i have some questions
You can find contact details in the 'about' tab of my channel page.
How'd you get the professional looking nintendo logo on the Mini?
Check here: www.daftmike.com/2016/02/experiments-with-toner-transfer.html
você tem os mini + nes cartuchos para vender?
Thats like..
NES cartridge
Gameboy cartridge
and DS cartridge
? :)
What does he use im having trouble
Can I buy the super smaller nes shown her?
Nope, you can make one though. Daftmike said it in his mini NES update 1 video
Where is the preorder for the starter kit mentioned for this purchase. Link please
How do the cartridges work?
what kind of 3d printer are you using
Can I purchase the mini from you?
Great work!
where do you get your roms
That's... fucking mint. Well done.
That is amazing!
what are the dimensions of your nes mini?
80 x 60 x 26mm
thanks
Eres un genio,magnifico trabajo
Wonderful video.
Can somebody help me? I'm trying to put together a complete Mini(er) NESPi with NFC reader and power management from the Arduino. My main question is how does the 'power on' works, if the USB power cable connects directly to the Raspberry Pi Zero?
Hi, The Power Switch works using a script and connects to GPIO Pins 5 and 6.
TheTransformerCrazed can you point me to that script? Or tell me how it works?
mega.nz/#!ppdynJjK!eclxScK_XLy0UmSQeyTK5WyzE5QfmQu0DKZp0WPX9Hc
Could you make a larger Raspberry Pi box that can accept original NES carts?
smart vid, cool project. keep up the good work. really enjoyed this video.
5:31 Rage Quit ;D
But amazing build of course, that's excellent man GG
Looks good! Keep it up!
EVEN SMALLER ?!
But what about Game Genie? lol
NES Classic micro would be a good name. 😆
Has anybody done an NES emulator for the Teensy? Teensy 3.6 NES at 20% scale? :P
Fucking amazing i want themmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Awesome! Keep it up!
Are you going to sell the Zero kits?
Probably not, the Zero doesn't come with a pin header, so it would require soldering.
how much to buy with reg shipping 01247
gosh darn i wish i had a 3d printer
I woukd have called it the micro NES
*Amazing men !!!*
I don’t have a 3d printer, would you make one and sell it to me via paypal?
This is just WAY to cool :)
I gotta purchase 1 from you plz lol.
You coulda start your own company and sell the 3D files or just ship a starter pack for themselves put together you coulda made thousands
+Time Waster Digital grammar. eye no your so stoopid.
You're**
I printed the case already, came out perfect.

Great work daftmike keep it up 💦
Kawai desu !
awesome
You are clever as all hell! KUDOS! (NINTENDO should be bidding for your brain power!)

How did you get the cartridges to work
