Title: Square Pi Boy - orignal gameboy with all systems
Post by: GnobarEl on March 29, 2015, 03:46:25 pm

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.

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/ (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 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,143977.0.html)
