Van Damage

That thing turned out immaculate!!!! Glad to hear you were able to build your own and get better performance out of it than I do! I maybe get 15 hours with the 4 batteries I use, but the head unit and extra lighted bits are a massive drain so it doesn't surprise me. And thank you for the recommendations on different boards, if I ever build another of these bad boys I'm going to try out your parts list, sounds like you took what I did and made a massive improvement on it. Good job!

Correction, I meant 10 sets of die. Fat fingered mah phone haha

Not sure if you've checked back recently, but I did post the links with the parts if you still need those.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I wasn't notified of you comment. I actually was looking at a site and they were supposed to be selling some Ammo can boom boxes and after 3 years of me watching and asking when they were going to sell it I just decided I wanted to learn how to build them myself and it eventually evolved into me building portable gaming systems. I watched probably hundreds of hours of youtube videos, I reached out to the guys and gals who made them, found communities that were mostly do it yourselfers and eventually learned enough to be able to make these things. So if you ever have questions about how any of this works please please please ask away.

Yes, I do believe it is possible with the Raspberry Pi Zero. In fact I'm currently working on building on inside a game boy case using the Pi Zero. I've definitely run into some issues with the controller and spacing but it can be done. I'd look up Wermy on youtube, he has a nice working version of the Gameboy Zero that I'm currently doing.

Glad to have been of some help, I definitely suggest checking out the videos to see how it's all done. I also have some boom box projects I've done as well on my youtube channel. Sorry it took so long for me to respond letting you know I've uploaded the links. If you have any questions on the project let me know and I'll be more than happy to help out.

I've built raspberry pi builds using battery banks to provide power. 10,000 mAh would be more than enough for a full night

I use a snes controller with a USB connection, you can find those on amazon.com and most gaming stores as well. I'm going to work on providing links to everything in the next day or two to make buying parts easier

I've only needed a keyboard once when I was editing the operating system itself, other than that you can use just the controller. Below is the site that explains how to operate the system using just the controller. If you do have a usb keyboard you can plug that in as well, but I've never had an actual need for one myself.https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation

Oh this is definitely a game changer for me, Will definitely be using this in the future

I can get a complete parts list, I'm out of town at the moment so if you check back in a couple of days it should be updated

Thanks! It's a very simple build as well which made it so much easier to pull off

tech, workshop, outdoor,and living work for me

All of the parts can be found on Amazon.com.

Thank you

This is just amazing, my hat's off to you.
