Ahhh yes, no handheld game collection is complete without a minty pi. Great collection, I wish I still had all the consoles and handhelds that I grew up playing.

i built this Macintosh SE as a multi purpose rig, full desktop pc when on ac power or retro pi station in low power 12v mode, as well as a external monitor for a laptop all with a built in handle :P

lower external unit is not required but makes it easier to move data around

pc is a older i7 and mini atx mobo & Sfx 280watt psu
ADB adapter for Apple KB
10inch lcd screen kit using overscan to mimic proper aspect ratio
pi zero with snes controller attached
powered speakers from older Dell workstation monitor sound bar
various cords and adapters
and a ton of hot glue

Hi,
Last summer me and a buddy decided to build retropi. As a housing we went for an old N64 shell.
The only pictures have from the guts are proof of concept pictures we tidied everything (and soldered the connections) up in the end. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of that. We also wanted to do something with the cartridge slot. But this hasn't been done as of yet.

My next project will be a GBZ. Got all the parts only waiting for the super AIO from Kite.

looks well done, but kinda suprised you didn't keep some of the n64 controller ports to make use of the gamecon drivers

When he bought the N64 shell it didn't with the original controllers. This way we could use his USB after market controllers
