Not the most portable setup, but here’s how I’ve been playing Pokémon Odyssey:
Raspberry Pi Zero 2, portable display, battery pack, and an 8BitDo Pro 2 controller.
Might try strapping the Pi and battery to the screen.

IT WORKS!!! 🎉 My cab is officially ALIVE 👾🔥 Running #RetroPie with a custom power rail + 3D printed case I built.
12V for the LCD 5V for the Raspberry Pi
Can’t believe this finally came together 🙌

Used #Blender to design a custom case for my #ArcadeCabinet power circuit ⚡️
4x M3 screws hold the top in place. Inside, 12V comes in and splits into three 12V lines + one 5V line to power the LCD, speakers, lights, and Raspberry Pi.

Whipped up some OpenSCAD parts to house my custom power rail board.
Blue PETG panels + bright orange corner blocks to hold M3 screws. Next step: assemble and see how tidy this can get!

Finally got power sorted. ⚡️
12V rail feeding the LCD, speakers, and button lights, plus a DC-DC step-down for 5V to the Raspberry Pi. It’s a spaghetti mess of cables right now, but everything works! Cleanup next. 🤞

Took @symbo1ics.bsky.social advice and made a bus bar for my arcade build ⚡️ Multimeter says it’s solid 🤞 Next up: wiring the positive side. Definitely ditching stranded wire in the future 😅

Found some existing shells to start from. I’ll need to modify them to fit my actual hardware. I originally wanted the GBC style, but my screen fits better in the DS style.

A buddy gave me this SUP handheld for free, so I thought it’d be fun to upgrade it. So far nothing has fit 😂 At this point it feels easier to 3D print a new shell and build my own from scratch.

My first attempt sucked pretty hard. I feel like I significantly improved by the forth wire. But now I’m left wondering, how the hell do I connect all four of these wires to a single pin?

Figuring out the power board for my arcade cabinet. Inline fuse, switch, and a couple smoothing caps to keep the Pi, LCD, amp, and coin button happy.

Upgrading the speakers in my arcade cabinet. I thought a pair of 4” would be a nice upgrade from the single 3” it came with. But it’s a little larger than I imagined.

Soldered up a TP4056 charger so I can run my circuits off a Li-Po battery with USB-C charging!
The connector that came on the battery was too small, so I crimped on a new JST-XH to match the charger.
Solid 3.9V out.

All the modules are finally talking to each other! debounce, logic, display, pulse, everything’s alive and working!
Next step: figure out how to wire it together on a perfboard.

📘 Just picked up This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone. Only two letters in and already loving the rhythm and sharpness. It’s weird, poetic, and dangerous in all the right ways. Time to get emotionally wrecked.

🛠️ My first (messy!) attempt at diagramming the full display driver for my project.
✔ 4 bi-color LEDs (red/green)
✔ Individual on/off control
✔ Selectable flashing or steady

Updated my LED driver circuit: swapped the NPN/PNP pair for two PNPs and tweaked the LED resistors for brighter, cleaner output. After testing and tuning, the green and red LEDs look great at 3V. Love seeing it all come together!
