I wonder whether you will actually play on this thing. It's hard to focus on only one screen, isn't it? I have also watched Elliot's video, but your build looks even cleaner - and it does work. Wow! Also the video quality went up, great job! :-) P.S.: The camera zoom magnifier trick is amazing! :D

@SCorpG22 4 года назад

Maybe you could join a secondary battery bay onto the bottom for the second screen? And then maybe an additional D-Pad and buttons on the side for 2 player games! And the coolest thing? It would also look like a Tetris shape. I know I know, you don't have to thank me. You're welcome.
