Ok so this is my first attempt at a project this small, I’ve made arcades no problem but a hand held was always something I wanted to make. This project was so much fun, thanks to Wermy and Helder for making it quite painless.

I found it difficult to get an altoids tin locally but on my family trip to the coast I picked up various flavours of Barkleys mints. The tin size is the same so it fits perfectly.

I changed up the splash startup and my daughter named it the Multi Pi, since it’s in a liquorice tin, mintypi doesn’t seem to quite suit it anymore.

I’ll probably make a game boy zero at some point, feeling like I could manage that now after this went so well.

Nice job, looks great! And good to know about the Barkleys - I've seen that question pop up before. And it *does* say "mints" on the tin... Just saying.

Also, a bit of rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab will take the leftover marker right off from around your holes.

Edit: added an FAQ about Barkleys mints since I've seen that question a few times: http://www.sudomod.com/wiki/index.php?title=MintyPi#FAQ

This is great!

Nice to see an alternative tin build completed! I like it.

May get myself a Barkelys

If you've not got any rubbing alcohol just take some of your missus' nail varnish remover like i do.

That looks so good! That's better than some I've seen here and the black tin really suits the console. Has the tin got a 3D lift on the brand name or is it flat?

Thanks it was so mush un. It does say mints, I still call it the mintyPi to be fair.

Ah, rubbing alcohol, great idea. I was going to ask, thanks dude.

Thanks, I really enjoyed putting together. Yeah the tin is embossed like the altoids tins. Mush easier to pick up in my neck of the woods too. UK BTW

Cheers dude.

You just saved me buying rubbing alcohol, I owe ya.

Nice build. I like that you used a different brand then Altoids. I am still waiting on the next batch of PCBs and screens for the two builds I'm doing.

Mr clean magic earasers (or knockoffs) also take off permenent marker

Did you used the same measurements as for the Altoids tin?
