Raspberry Pi 3 A+ Gameboy Tutorial 

This is my 3rd video on the subject, I can't make the same video 3 times, some things need to be skipped otherwise RU-vid sees it as a duplicate upload and get's deleted, you can check out my other 2 videos where you get more details, if is something that you don't feel sure just ask and I am here to help

I just want to say thanks for watching my videos, you actually stuck up around from my beginning!

Hahah

If you never soldered, make some practice solders on a pcb and take your time, it can take up to 1 week or so depending on how many hours you put a day, I can build one in 3 - 4 hours

Yes I already have a video on that

@@Adamstech Do you know the name? I cant find it. Xd

@@AronDubstepMusic Is on my channel, Pi3B+ gameboy and you should find it

Thanks 😊

Thanks for watching it and I am glad that you enjoyed it!

Yeah, you will need psp1000 to wire them directly, if you want psv2000 ones you will need helper boards

I am almost finished editing pi3b+ and started pi4, that is a pb as retropie doesn't work properly on it yet

Hi, for power I use 24 gauge and for the data and the rest I use the wires from inside a USB cable

They have to in order to work :D

@@Adamstech didn't know if you were using the case off 8bitcustoms, didn't know if they were actual size of the original.

Yeah I am using those, are the same used in my videos

www.thingiverse.com/thing:2311662 there you go

@@Adamstech Thank you! Realy helped me out :D This is going to be a great present :3

Glad that I helped

The majority of the parts, along with modified cases you will find them here www.8bitcustoms.com/

@Niko Niko Any suggestion on a better powerboost module? Thanks!

FitnessMtl there are a few boost buck converters rated at 2 amps on Ali express

Thanks Gianfranco!

@@Adamstech ❤

It gets a bit hot, but some tweaks in the clock speed and you can keep it down, the battery has 5000 maH and it's run time is around 4 hours of gaming now depending of your load.

Thanks Marco, I try my best, you are doing a fantastic job on your channel as well 😁

Because he recommended it after I found out that it might have voltage drops and shared my feedback

In this configuration is not really possible, I think the dpi configuration makes the hdmi unusable, I have to look into it!

My screen that I used in my custom handheld uses a 5 inch screen with a hdmi port, like a regular monitor. So I found a handy diy part for that, *"5Pcs HDMI Type A Male 19Pin Gold Plate PCB Socket Solder Connector DIY Part."* And I just use thin gauge wire. You can find all sorts of ways to connect a screen to a Rpi.

@@Adamstech Currently the way I have RetroPie and Stretch build is, HDMI detect , then uses a different /boot/config.txt file .. Not sure why an HDMI out wouldn't work. They have small male to female HDMI extension cables.

@@AngryRamboShow I didn't understand this one..

@@WilsonBradleyTheOfficial Well, I don't think Rpi 3 can do 2 monitors at once, so you have to pick either spi or hdmi. But if you want to set up a screen that has hdmi in, you could use 2 of those HDMI male connectors to neatly arrange everthing inside a small case. I suggest using those HDMI male connectors because with some thin wire and 38 soldering points you can custom fit the cabling to your exact specifications.

It works with any version of Pi

To be honest I don't know with all added up, around 200 GBP

Well it is enough but you need to tweak the voltage and it should be fine, we will have a new powerboost from Tinkerboy soon that can handle it perfectly

Adam Builds Hi, I am actually doing something very similar, and I plan on using an adafruit powerboost 1000c to power my rpi 3a+ too. What do you mean by « you need to tweak the voltage » ? That’s a really nice build btw, I would love mine to end up looking like yours !

@@w2ex215 Hi, I mean to underclock the Pi, but instead of using the 1000C try Helders PSU, or you can go with this a cheaper one MP2636 Power Booster & Charger Module, you can find it on Pimoroni.com, this one works fine as well!

@@Adamstech what underclock setting did you use?

Hi Franklin, glad that you liked the tutorial! If you are on FB or Instagram add me and we can chat more there! I look forward for your message

Yes with Steam Link :D

What’s that?

Plz tell me what steam link is

You stream the games from your pc to your pi and can be controlled trough your Gameboy controlls

Enter in Facebook and send me some pictures, I might help!

It doesn't have to be a specific dimension, just make sure it does fit how you want it, mine is 70mm away from the case

You need 24 gauge wires, and just wire another rail of power to the back of the pi, not 5v from the DPI, last batches of DPI need this in order to work, I let Tinkerboy know he has it in his website now at guide section. Have a look there

@@Adamstech i didnt end up using the dpi adapter. I wired a car monitor from amazon straight to the PI

you need thicker wires then, it shouldn't even have a problem, also specify the parts you used because as per your comment I understood that you got all the parts like mine

I have a video on V3 with a pi0, I am working on another pi3A+ video where I will show wiring, you can join is on FB where we are a community of builders that can help!

In the next video I will get into wiring a bit more

I used a 5000 mAh Bluutech one

He is the only one selling them, sad as I want to get a stock of them but we are not there yet.

@@Adamstech Okay, thanks for the update. By the way, thank you for the time and effort that you put into your videos. They are of great quality and extremely helpful and inspiring. Keep up the great work, Adam!

@@LewinFilmProductions Thanks for that, I appreciate it!

Thanks a lot, Gio!

When do you mean?

@@Adamstech at 6:19.

@@dwaynedesa1749 You can clearly see the lights turning on :D yeah with an SD card inside it should turn on

Adafruit 1000C

I might do it in the future :D is just that you need to cut a big part of the Pi

Adam Builds maybe boards are diferent or something

They are different yeah

Adam Builds how much would it be? Not counting with the raspberry pi or the casd or the battery

They are the same thing
