My new toy!
Raspberry py + Gameboy = Square Pi boy

Raspberry pi 1 with 16GB micro sd and retropie with all major systems.
The gameboy have 2 new buttons, a widder screen and a rechargeable battery. It also have a escape button, micro usb for battery charging and a full female usb to connect a wifi dongle. Everything else remains as the original one.








Have fun



Please let me know if you need any help.


Thanks and happy gaming!

Unfortunately not really. One or other but with bad quality. I will make another one and I will take more pictures of it.

Be careful clicking on those pics, I believe opening on a PC could give you a virus...opening on my Ipad sends it in a tizzy (like I am on a bad pron site, tries a whole bunch of redirection malarky). Quick google search reveals it could be bad site.

I'm using http://postimg.org/ to host the image. From my side didn't had any problem. If some one else have the same issues I will use other host.

@thomas_surles I sold this for 130 euros. It was allmost the money I spent.
Gameboy case, rpi, LCD, speaker amplifier, internal electronics...

Would you be selling the 3d printed case by itself?

This is the original case. No idea about 3D.

 :notworthy: This is really the first Pi portable project I really dig a lot  :cheers:

The Ben Heck Show did some Pi portable projects, but this keeps the feel and look of the original case wonderful  :applaud:

Great job

My bad I was thinking of someone else who was having a gameboy case 3d printed.

Here's the thread I thought this was related to.http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,143977.0.html
