I have to say your transitions from camera to device feed are phenomenal. I've never seen anything so smooth on KZitem before. You are really doing a service to us here. These videos have saved me hours of trial and error and I cannot thank you enough. Going to get a few Joycon sticks and a new case or two and try to upgrade to dual analog :)

Think these are the best custom consoles made on here, absolutely awesome buddy, great video... Maybe for your next video you could make a wide screen model with a bigger screen like 6-7" and stretch the GBA body, with R3/L3 in the analogues like a playstation pad 😁 that would be a great next project and would love to see it done by you, keep up the amazing work 😁

Thanks! That stretched console sounds cool. Now that the Raspberry Pi 4 is out maybe the widescreen will be more worth it if that thing can handle PSP games better. I do like having the L3/R3 in the analogs like in my Joy Cons builds. In my current build I”be gone back to using Joy Cons in the Xbox positions. I have a couple builds in line, and there are a couple weird ones too. Maybe during that time we’ll see the Raspberry Pi 4 get hooked up software wise, or maybe even the CM4. That would be sweet.

TomTomSatnav87 Oh I’m sure you can get everything in the UK. Check out the Freeplay site for the kit www.freeplaytech.com . I don’t know if they are selling the CM3+ modules yet, or are selling the CM3 modules still. I know sometimes it can be hard to find the CM3+ (at least it was when I was ordering mine), so I ordered mine from Adafruit www.adafruit.com . I usually don’t have a best source for things because I just shop around a lot and see if I can find good deals when time doesn’t matter. I eBay a bunch and all that for random bits to save money.

I don’t think there is just yet. Some people have done some mods to make this and other info available that I’ve seen. Porcinus has here forum.freeplaytech.com/showthread.php?tid=4696 . I have a build I’m working on that will probably have this feature, but I haven’t started that part yet. When I do I will be bothering Porcinus to help me out again XD. He also has uploaded a build recently so maybe you can hit him up on the Freeplay site or at his channel. Here’s the latest build of his kzitem.info/news/bejne/sJCPrpmms19phoo . If I do end up working that in I will talk about what I’ve learned in doing it and share what’s up. Actually, for all I know there could be some other way to go about it as well; I haven’t started looking into it more yet.

AJ12Gamer L3 & R3 are located on the rear near the top. This time around I couldn’t find a decent way to add them to the 3DS analog sliders even though I though of a few ways that might have worked. That high rear position isn’t ideal, but they at least work :) . I’m back to using Joy Con analogs in my current build, and that is one of the reasons.

Something like this: -The Freeplay kit with the 2000mah battery and soft X&Y buttons is $195. -The 4 port nano USB hub is $15 -The shell is about $10 with buttons, pads, screws, stickers, tools, on eBay. I’d buy 2 so you get the second set of buttons and pads and also have a backup shell in case you mess up the first like we all do sometimes. You can find them as cheap as $7 (I’ll count it as $10 each). -Micro SD card $6 for 16GB on Amazon -Bluetooth dongle $3 eBay -Wifi Dongle $3 eBay -3DS analog sticks 5 for $6.50 on eBay (The listing I purchased from in case they are hard to find rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F112730377500 -3DS analog cap 2 for $5 on eBay -Button caps $6 www.aliexpress.com/item/50PCS-round-key-cap-A101-can-match-6-6-Tact-switch/32579377179.html -Soft Tacts switches $2 plus shipping. We’ll say $5. -Tact switches (assortment for test fitting) $5 on eBay -Clear epoxy $5 -Misc tools like wires and tape etc $20 That comes to $289.50 if I got it right. That’s just a roundabout number from me just throwing things together quickly and kind of overestimating too. You can get the number down by shopping around for good deals, changing up the build in different ways, and it also helps if you already have some materials like wiring and things. Also I just realized I forgot the magnet wire which is like $8.50. I Guess that could be part of the misc stuff anyway. I personally will be going back to Joy Con analogs for my next build (most likely) because the 3DS sliders are OK, but not equal to a real style analog in my opinion. Have you done projects like this before?

I know the very basics of some of this stuff :) . Have you seen my Pi3Boy DMG build? I wouldn’t recommend anyone try to do it the way I did; that’s about the hardest way. I’m happy I did it though. Learned a bunch. Something like Great Scott’s build would be a better place to start. Have you seen his Game Boy (DMG style) build? Here is video 1 of 2 (I think) if you haven’t seen it kzitem.info/news/bejne/wIOqtJOpbaaHfmU . I haven’t seen it in a while. It’s a couple years old. I checked out the link in the description for the screen from eBay to test if at least some links would still work and it was good. I’m going to rewatch these couple videos to refresh what he did. I remember it was pretty good. Of course, pretty much everything that dude does is great. I personally like the GBA style builds better because I think they are more comfortable, but I don’t remember any concise kind of tutorials for a complete DIY sort of GBA build. I got spoiled by the Freeplay kits when I found out about them and haven’t tried to build a GBA from all the parts. I have a feeling like a lot, maybe everything, could be transferred from the Great Scott style DMG build. Going to watch them in a bit.

Oh man I know that feeling. I had it A LOT the last few days working on a different project. Hit me up with an email 0hipcat0@gmail.com . I don’t know a ton, but I’ve ran into some issues here and there and may have an answer or two for you. Send some pics if they would help, and let me know some info about the build and what’s been going on with it. Best thing to do when you get too frustrated is step back from it and come back when you’re not frustrated anymore. That’s actually what I’m doing tonight with a weird build I’m working on. I have no audio, and some crazy input issue. I’ve figured out now that when I start to get mad at it that I will just come back to it later. For me that’s usually just the next day. I bet tomorrow I’ll figure those out. That’s how it usually goes.
