Description

About 6 months ago, I stumbled onto the Ben Heck Show and binge-watched several episodes before deciding to try some hardware modding myself. Here's my first project: The "PiSP Pocket"! The Pi-inside-a-GBP isn't an original idea but I think the dual analog sticks is unique, at least in terms of execution.

The Specs:

- Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
- RetroPie 3.6
- 2.2" SPI TFT display
- 32 GB microSD storage
- 3000 mAh battery with Powerboost 1000c (about 3-4 hours of battery life)
- Battery status indicator circuit
- 1 regular USB port, 2 micro USB ports (one for charging)
- Original GBP power switch, D-pad, start, select, A & B buttons with additional L1, L2, R1, R2, X, Y buttons sourced from a TV remote (all interfaced via Teensy 2.0)
- 2 PSP analog sticks
- PWR and ACT LEDs
- 2 mono speakers (no output from headphone jack unfortunately)
- Capable of emulating N64, Playstation, Dreamcast, and PSP

Nicely done! I like the way you were able to pack everything inside the case. The joysticks are a nice addition. My son and I are working on a similar project and he really wants to include them.
