@adamspc great work !
Would you be up for some collaboration ?

[adamspc]

@eddyman1us Maybe. What are you thinking?

[Danorak1981]

I wish I had the confidence/knowledge to do something like this, I think it's awesome!

[eddyman1us]

@adamspc I am an engineer who share's similar goals of reviving the heritage of video gaming in the age of handhelds and hdtv I would like to fund this. I also have contacts with Chinese factories which can provide better build at better costs, what would be the best email to connect at ?

What a wonderful pcb prototype project! Thank you!

[adamspc]

@markyh444 The final prototype arrived today. Doing some stress testing, then I'm putting 20 together as kits.

[markyh444]

@adamspc fantastic!

[Jeck11]

How much is a full kit targeted to cost?

[adamspc]

@Jeck11 $79 for the ready-to-go board with wires and adapters. The LCD is additional (around $15-20 if you modify one from eBay, or $29 if you want one pre-done)

@adamspc What is battery life like on this project?

[adamspc]

@HurricaneFan 2 hours at least. I've gotten 4 hours with audio switched off and running the battery all the way down.

[Jeck11]

So $110 and that'll covert everything? Nice man!

Well there's still the pi and case to be bought. So maybe $130.

@adamspc awesome job!! Great price. Any luck yet with the analog yet?

[adamspc]

@edmaul69 Yeah I got a basic version of the joystick working. It's all integrated. An improved joystick is planned for a few months from now, once I have time to work on the software.

The board has integrated:

• Battery Charging
• Battery Protection
• Efficient 5.2v Boosting
• Soft On/Off Control with Emergency Shutdown
• Audio Filter and Amplifier
• Low-Battery Warning
• Simple Joystick

I'm throwing money at the screen, but I'm down to coins now;) This is so on my Xmas list!

[markyh444]

@adamspc just seen the pre-order option on your store is up. So so excited, but sadly I'm moving house and can't afford this just yet! Damn you mortgage credit checks!

I fancy a blue board anyway, so will be ordering one later on this year, maybe in the summer. Please keep making these!!!!

@markyh444 There's a blue one with your name on it when you're ready
