Final Project Idea

I think I finally decided what I want to do for my final project. I'm going to turn my Raspberry Pi into handheld video game system. I found a website that has many different models for turning a Raspberry Pi into a retro game console. While all of these look cool I gravitated to the PiGRRL 2. It looks like the original GameBoy by Nintendo. I like the retro look of it, as well as the fact that it is portable.

I did research on this model and found a site called adafruit that shows you the materials needed, and the steps to make it. You can also buy some of the parts from the site. The parts needed include a screen, battery, speaker, and buttons. A custom 3D printed case is also needed. Hopefully this won't cost too much...
