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.

* Remember that most Lithium Ion Polymer batteries ''do '''not''''' have thermal protection circuitry built in.
* 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 [https://www.adafruit.com/product/258 1200mAH], or less - but playtime will be drastically reduced between charges.
* To further reduce cost and bulk, the size of the battery can be reduced to [https://www.adafruit.com/product/1570 100mAh], or even less - but playtime (and charge rate) will be drastically reduced between plays.
