Putting a Pi in a NES Cartridge Case

[wolv505]

I just built a retro console in an NES cartridge and I love it! Very simple and so much fun. I bought a used NES game with a cool looking labor (I bought gloveball) from the retro game store for about $3. Bought the NES security bit, mini hdmi to hdmi, and powered OTG usb hub all from eBay for really cheap just had to wait awhile for the items to get here but the wait was worth it because in all those parts I paid less than $8 and while I was waiting for it to come I downloaded my Roms and read up on the retropie. Also I would strongly suggest using 3m foam tape to hold down all the stuff because they will move and you dont want that.

I've only used tape for the ports at the front. I don't know how warm it gets inside...

It honestly doesn't get too hot. The case will be warm to the touch but any smartphone will get hotter than the pi zero w. I used tape to hold my pi in place and it's working great.

Made a design myself for this.
I use the china shells, they are good quality.

@japanwings Did you design and print that yourself? I'm trying to get 'a better bezel' printed.
