GameBoy in a Lunchbox #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
Instructables user TheinventionMaker found a perfect use for the AdaBot Lunchbox! They used it to house a portable game system.
Have you ever wanted to play somme classic games when eating? Maybe not, but if you did, this is the project for you! The GameBoy emulator uses RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. There is a battery pack with 2500mAh, which could squeeze out around 20 hours of battery life! There is a 4.3-inch screen for displaying the games, not the biggest, but screens can get expensive! Not only that, there are 2 SNES controllers for multiplayer gameplay! And, most importantly, you can run any retro game your heart desires(not included in tutorial, the retropie documentation tells you how to do it just fine… https://ift.tt/2hPD60z )!!! Most of the parts are from Adafruit, including the lunchbox. The project is designed around that lunchbox, but I will provide the Tinkercad link if you would like to edit my design to accommodate for your design. I spent a good amount of time on this project, so I hope you enjoy it!
