I designed and developed a custom handheld game console powered by a Raspberry Pi 4, which serves as the primary computing unit. The console features a 10" touch LCD for a dynamic user interface, along with dual speakers connected to a small-scale audio amplifier for enhanced sound. The controls are built using two custom-designed and manufactured PCBs, one for the joysticks and another for touch capacitive inputs, allowing a unique, seamless gaming experience.

 

In addition to the primary controls, the console includes back paddles for alternative input options, making it adaptable to a variety of game genres. It runs a Linux-based operating system with the capability to emulate classic games. The inclusion of two vibratory motors adds haptic feedback for more immersive gameplay. The design also incorporates multiple USB expansion boards, enabling easy connection to peripherals or additional accessories.

The power system is based on a lithium-ion battery, charged and balanced through a USB-C LiPo circuit for convenience. The enclosure stands out as well, having been custom-manufactured by a Taiwanese company using industrial SLA resin printing technology, offering exceptional durability and a professional finish.
