Finished My First Raspberry Pi Handheld

I just finished building my first Retropie handheld using the Waveshare Game Hat and a Raspberry Pi 3B. https://i.imgur.com/2Aw3ZK0.jpg For anyone looking to make an easy Retropie handheld build this is the one. For around $40 for the Waveshare Game Hat it's pretty affordable. It has a 3.5" screen, ...

Re: Waveshare Gamehat

Nice! I agree, quick build and fantastic screen. Really nice value. Good job :D HoolyHoo, I noticed on your Instagram feed you have a battery monitor on screen for your Game Hat. Is that just a script you can add or do you need to do anything else besides a script for the battery monitor? Its a scr...

Re: Easy Beginner handheld Retropie Device Builds?

Over the weekend I downloaded files for a case designed by zuendy on Thingiverse for my Waveshare Game Hat and had it printed by 3D Hubs. It was my first time getting something 3D Printed. I was surprised how fast it was printed, I uploaded the files and ordered it on Saturday Night and got it on We...

Re: Easy Beginner handheld Retropie Device Builds?

I ended up waiting a little bit to save up some money and then ordered the Waveshare Game Hat. It finally came in the mail yesterday. Will be setting it up this week.

Re: Easy Beginner handheld Retropie Device Builds?

Thanks Kelinesh that Tiny Pi Advance looks pretty sweet. The original GB Advance was my favorite for fitting my hands. Do you have a link on the Forums here for HoolyHoo's post/discuss on the Waveshare Game Hat 3D Printed case? I want to see if there is a discussion on replacing the buttons (X,Y,A,...

Re: Waveshare Gamehat

Nice! I agree, quick build and fantastic screen. Really nice value. Good job :D A couple quick questions for you HoolyHoo. Questions about the 3D Designed case you created for the Waveshare Game Hat. What particularly about the buttons that you have to change them out to fit the case onto it? Are t...

Re: Easy Beginner handheld Retropie Device Builds?

The ODROID GO could be another possibility to start out with. It looks pretty simple and has an actual case for it unlike the Waveshare Game Hat. The ODROID GO doesn't have as many buttons on it for games like SNES or Sega Genesis but I guess that's okay since from what I've read is that the process...

Re: Easy Beginner handheld Retropie Device Builds?

The Gameboy Null looks cool but unfortunately it doesn't have sound. And the Pi0cket Tiny Pi Pro I don't think that has bumber L & R buttons like a SNES controller. I forgot to mention I'd like to be able to play SNES and GBA games so the L & R and the A,B,X,Y and Start and Select buttons are a must...
