I wanted to make an all playing handheld console of course there are several designs wich work with the raspberry pi, but at the moment the raspberry pi isn't good enough at emulating n64 games or ps1 games, so I though about wich device could do this and of course the smartphones have increased in power alot the latest years. I had a samsung S6 laying around wich has an oled screen and ordered a bluetooth gamepad. This worked really well but I still wanted something that looked like a real game console so I designed this enclosure for it. it only works with this gamepad and a samsung s6 smartphone but it can be modified to work with other popular phones also. So if you have a suggestion of other smartphone I can modify it. Let me know!
