With the size of gaming devices and development boards becoming smaller and smaller, it was only a matter of time before someone put a console inside the controller. Using a Raspberry Pi Zero, a standard USB SNES Controller, and a few extra parts, you can make yourself a portable, rechargeable gaming emulator self-contained in its own controller.
What You'll Need
Parts
| Part | Cost |
|---|---|
| Raspberry Pi Zero (or Raspberry Pi Zero W) | $10.00 |
| USB SNES Controller | $6.90 |
| MicroHDMI to HDMI Adapter | $1.40 |
| 2500mAH 3.7v Lithium Ion Polymer Battery with 2-Pin JST-PH Connector | $14.95 |
| 500mA Power Boost Circuit | $9.95 |
| Breadboard-Friendly SPDT Slide Switch | $0.95 |
| MicroUSB Power Cable, HDMI Cable, and Television/Monitor | - |
| Total | $44.15 |

Unscrew all screws on the back of the SNES controller |
Tips
- Whenever using Lithium Ion Polymer batteries, pay close attention to maximum charge rates and amperages. Even with protection circuits in-place, these should always be treated with care.
- Remember that most Lithium Ion Polymer batteries do not have thermal protection circuitry built in.
- To reduce cost, an original Raspberry Pi Zero can be used, but note that, due to lack of network connectivity (the USB data ports are fully in-use), all administration of the platform (including game uploading) must be done on a separate system
- To further reduce cost, the size of the battery can be reduced to 1200mAH, or less - but playtime will be drastically reduced between charges.
