Oh my god... Is this the homebrew level of quality nowadays? This is awesome! Being able to use Switch Lite parts to repair it is great. And the quality of the finishing and internal components is crazy good. Congratulations! No chance to team-up with a retro game store to sell these?
Thanks! There's certainly a few people now who are really pushing themselves to create more professional diy gaming devices, it's definitely good to see! As for selling them, I know Ben has sold one or two but they don't end up being very cost competitive on a small scale so we'd never be able to sell enough of them to make it worthwhile considering you can pick up a "comperable" Chinese handheld for under $100. It's also not compatible with any switch lite parts, sorry for the confusion!
I have a cm4 waiting for a home, but looking at the git there’s no way I can build this on my own in time for an upcoming deployment, is there anyway I can convince you to take a commission??
Thanks! Out of interest, why weren't you expecting much? Just because the channel is fairly new and the video has low views, or something else? Feedback like this helps me grow the channel so please let me know!
@@cncdan I meant no disrespect I promise. It popped up on my feed and I have seen countless videos of emulators that are made with crap quality. This homebrew is actually quite impressive. You did a great job with this one. I would love it in black.
@@carlsagan2607 I knew you weren't being disrespectful, I was just genuinely interested incase it was something I could improve with the thumbnail or something. Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah, screen choices are pretty limited in the hobby space unfortunately! Hopefully there'll be more and more open source options for display driver hardware that we can copy in the future!
@@cncdan well i try to build one the G boy wii but not successful the wii i buy is not working at all it doesn't boot i got it in a cheap price for $20 in garage sale. i was inspired when i saw the video from gman and shank mod.
Well, to be honest a switch lite with jailbreak is more powerfun then this (also just get a hall effect joycons for switch lite and would be same cost). Also there are cheap handheld in this form factor for lower cost and similar performance
Yeah, you're not wrong but that view is missing the point a bit. We spent way too much on this thing so it was never about the money. It was about the experience and having an amazing end product that we could both be proud of! Also those hall effect joysticks didn't exist back when we built this, otherwise we would've used them. If I ever have to replace one that's definitely the direction I'll be going with it!
@@cncdan good job btw with the project, I would suggest if possible, use a OLED display and make sure the type c port also gives pd and dp out. Would be nice for using a dock
@@noble_lime this one accepts USB PD charging but from memory cannot output power. Ben did make a powered dock that breaks out some full sized USB ports and has a little interactive screen for showing some stats and what game is playing. He's upgraded the screen on the new version he's working on but I don't think it's an OLED as they are a bit trickier to work with. Screens are one of the biggest challenges for hobbiests with devices like this so if it's not something that's available off the shelf with an open source driver board, it's very difficult to integrate into a design. Neither of us are electrical engineers so working these things out ourselves is a challenge!
Each to their own I guess. I think the switch sticks are pretty amazing considering what they acheive in such a small space. Its just a shame about the reliability!
I never owned a DS or a SP so neither of them are quite as special to me as some of the earlier Nintendo handhelds. I've got a Gameboy pocket with a raspberry pi in it which is just about my favourite thing ever but I can see myself doing a GBA version of it possibly in the future with a couple of upgrades! Gotta get the big x86 ones finished first though!

Dan this is amazing
Thankyou! Definitely proud of this one!
I've been watching the progress of this for a while now from Ben's side of things on the various discords. Nice to see the other side of this 👍
Ben's a great guy, and very talented! Shame he isn't keen on the whole RUclips thing so much as I reckon he'd do a great job of it too 😉

Holy smokes this is god dang amazing
Thankyou! It was a fun project to work on!
I would definitely buy this if it was on sale
Probably not once you saw how much we'd have to sell them for to make even a tiny profit 🤣
Cool stuff man.
Thanks!
This looks great!
Thanks!
been watching your videos most of the day!! awesome work my friend, ❤❤❤ it!
New subbie here
Thanks!

@@cncdan of course! New subscriber
@@carlsagan2607 thanks! Welcome aboard!
What cnc do you have?
It's a diy build of my own design! I'll do a video about it one day!
they shouldve used a better display.. RP Screen's black vessel is big..
They probably had limitations that they had to work around. Plus theres the display driver issues that they mentioned
Yeah, screen choices are pretty limited in the hobby space unfortunately! Hopefully there'll be more and more open source options for display driver hardware that we can copy in the future!
Amazing I can't wait for the next handheld diy. A Wii shrinks to a Gameboy SP.😊😊😊❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Pretty sure Ben open sourced the Wii spii too so you should be able to try and build one yourself if you're game!

Eggplant 🍆 colorway ftw 🎉
Yeah, it's a great colour combo!
Personally I wouldn't use the switch sticks I will rather use a 3D sicks

Calling it now, next up, Raspberry SP
Or a super chad move is a Rasberry DS, since the 2nd screen is super useful.
I never owned a DS or a SP so neither of them are quite as special to me as some of the earlier Nintendo handhelds.

Swap the postiion of the l analog with the dpad and itll be good
I've done the opposite on my latest project by swapping the ABXY and joystick on the right for more of a Wii U gamepad style layout
Pretty cool but why Switch's sticks. They are the worst.
You wouldn't fit anything else in there sadly. Maybe the joysticks I used on the Nucdeck would fit but they didn't exist when we built this!
