NanoPiBoy, tiny weekend retropie build

[The F00]

Hey Sudomod.
I built this little guy last weekend after getting insprired by all the projects I've seen here.
My design goals where to make it as small as I could while using easily accesable parts so that it could be made by anyone with basic sodering skills and some common sence (hmmm).
Its using a 1.44 spi tft, which is nice and clear but a little too small for anything much higher res than NES



Looks like those tags dont work. Any ideas on what I have to do?

nice work!! Your games sound like they run a little fast. Is that just a video edit or have you tweaked some settings?

also your vape stick is pretty loud in the video

Great Build!

I like that its abit wider and easier to hold, mine puts the battery below the mess and causes a tall stack of parts =(

Yeah, I think they are running quick, especially the need nes games. Any ideas what I need to do to fix it?
Also, I meant to mute that vape noise, it's obnoxious isn't it

Great Build!

Thanks man. The battery is right under the screen, it's just not very big. Although it's a mm or two but than the one I designed it for so there's a bit of a bulge. So I'm planning a redesign to make it tidier. The first lipo got killed in the build process at some point, rip. . .

Cheers man. I did see that. I am pretty sure the TinyPi is a fair bit smaller, isnt that one of your projects?

They actually posted my other one a few weeks ago. https://hackaday.com/2019/01/03/2600-in ... woodgrain/

About 10 years ago I was a regular there (doing psp stuff mostly). Seems like theres been a lot of the projects from this forum have been on there too. I am pretty sure that's how I found the place

Yeah TinyPi is my baby it may be a little smaller, but you cant just print one on a normal printer (mainly because i have not shared )

Your other stuff looks great!! you cant beat a bit of wood grain
