Figured I'd share these pictures of my second build, my first was a standard build with helder's board and the 3d printed parts but I had a lot of leftover parts so I decided to make a second one as cheaply as possible. I only had 8 buttons (left over from older projects), so really only GBA and NES are compatible, also didn't want to buy another sound card so there's no volume, which isn't a problem for me. Also tried to use a 2gb sd card from one of my old cell phones, and I had an emulator (gngb) up and running, but I had trouble getting it to run on startup so I just went and bought a 16gb sd card to fit the full mintyPi image on. The battery is from an old digital camera that had a broken lens.

Overall I think I spent like no more than $30 on this, which I'm super stoked about. Thanks to helder and wermy and everyone in the forums for all the helpful info I've found throughout this build!

I love it, I have all of those exact parts sitting at home, maybe i'll do another cheapo one!!

Just goes to show not everything has to be high tech (not that a pi zero is't high tech ), but this is great tinkering!
Maybe a cardboard/scrap plastic cover to finish it off....

Tip: styrene sheet is a relatively cheap and easy way to make such parts.

Let me know if you have any other questions. A lot of these parts can be salvaged from old electronics as well

Kinda new to everything related to this. Could you help me with the wiring? I've never done anything like it as a 17 year old high school student haha. So a guide or something would be absolutely amazing.

would you ever considering sellling the 30 dollar mintypi or a copy of it for 60 or 70 dollars
