SUPER PIE BOY ONe - ADAFRUIT PROJECT UPDATE
-
I think it looks good and is a great idea. That price to pay for something that no one else sells is reasonable specially since you are alone and doing it by yourself. If people have a problem with the price then they aren’t forced to buy it. People comparing the price of this to a PS4 is like comparing apples to tomatoes. its two different types of systems and genres of gaming. Sure a PS4 is about the same price or a little cheaper but PS4's are designed by a team of people and mass produced by automated machines.

I built the supergame pi and you are right about the cost. Just to buy the pieces from adafruit is about $250. I even have access to a decent 3D printer. I ended up getting some adafruit gift certificates for Christmas one year and used those. To me the great thing about it is that it's portable and doesn't require power cable and extra controllers. You can pack it around easily. Plus the amount of games you can play is great. You don't have to be camped out in front of a tv to enjoy. I have taken mine on trips to play on flights and evenings in the hotel room.

You 're right, the console is useful to transport. You are lucky to have obtained adafruit gift certificates , i didn't know that could exist :). So do you still plan to put a Raspberry pI 3 Inside ?
If somebody knows how can replace Powerboost 1000c for a more powerful module power supply managing the battery, it could be great. -
I don't think so. I would like to but I really don't know enough about it to figure it out. Hopefully someone will get it to work and then I might give it a try.

@darksavior Bought one RS-97 ;)
Really nice catch for 50$ - thank you!
But the original software is full of bugs, the CFW-mod is better and gives super performance ;)+1 for that advice!

@superpiboy I understand that you have put in tons of effort and the parts are expensive (btw, it DOES look fucking amazing, id buy it in a heart beat, if the price was lower tho..) and i understand you are just starting off and manufacturing is expensive. but you gotta find cheaper parts brother, there are alternatives out there, make a lower end model with half the battery size, 3/4 the screen. you need to be selling a cheaper version so you can make money to in turn make deals with the manufacturing companies etc etc etc and get cheaper parts.
all in all, make a slightly smaller version, sell it for $140, you can easily drop it down half the price if u changed the parts.

It is more an object of collection than a standardized product of the supermarkets. I do not try to sell a lot. My interest is to take up new challenges with the RASPBERRI PI. I'm happy to have reached Super Pie Boy One and i will continu to support it. Now I'm studying a new project, it's a surprise :). Just i can say it is a new model that I have completely drawn and smaller :)
