Color Handheld Gamer Prototype

The 3D printed cases arrive and they fine but I need to redesign the case. I am a waiting for some buttons to arrive to do that.

There are a few test boards I made without buttons but I did have one before the current with the Pro Mini on top of the board before I designed it upside-down, underneath the board and removed the large screen SD card socket for the current version. The ST7735, ILI9341 and (monochrome) Nokia 3310/5110 have the same pinouts and can be used.  I now need to get a Teensy.

This is a almost a replicated version without the barriers. Sound can be enabled but slows the game down for this game. Color themes can be changed and will be used in future versions. I just wanted to get out a first version for now so I can write some other games.

Ordered my first ever 3D printed design today for this project and due to be shipped later this month. Used gmax 3D modelling software (3DStudio Max Lite) and the cost for 3D printing and shipping was $40 for 2 units in black.

The gaming system consists of a microprocessor running custom code to receive user game-pad inputs and produce color visuals and sound to suit video games.
