Not quite a sizzle reel for the #handheld, but I’m going to start posting videos of games running on this thing. Again not sure how playable games will be over the course of a whole game start to finish but I’ve played each of these for about an hour and they’ve held up.
So I got DM’ed by a troll who claimed that since the #nintendoswitch can play #Skyrim I was really just wasting my time. Now he might be right (from a pure time perspective) but I’ve had fun making this…having said that…here’s some Skyrim since apparently for your #handheld to be “worth it” it’s got to play Skyrim. Started a new game, not sure how smooth it might be FPS wise later on but the intro wasn’t too bad. Note, video is sped up 200%. Sorry for the blue cast on everything, the lighting in my apt isn’t good for video.
Button test board for a custom #hitbox I’m helping a buddy with
Working on a new #handheld I prefer smaller machines but a few of my friends have asked that my next be a larger device. Hoping to have it ready for #Makerfaire next week though running out of time…
Getting closer to being done with the #pigrrl Added back a volume pot, moved some of the components around and tweaked the buttons. #gameboyadvance for scale and size comparison. Case was printed via @shapeways
Working with naked LIPOs kind of scares me…
Printed a quick test case via @shapeways just to see how the buttons and ports lined up…going to have to make some changes and hopefully cut 3/16 on the overall depth but mostly pleased as to how stuff is lining up…
Old vid (haven’t had too much time to work on anything these last couple of weeks) of the latest #pigrrl build
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Found some time this week to spend on this. As often happens I’m happiest with my first design which feels the best to hold. (The white one in the top left corner). These gave me an excuse to try out @shapeways new PLA service. They came out pretty good. #pigrrl #pigrrlzero
Continuing to play with case configs for the latest #raspberrypi portable, this particular version is similar to the #RevoK101 , one of my favorite #gameboy clones…
