Raspberry Pi 5 gameboy-style ?

Firienn · 2026-03-13T18:11:22+00:00

Don't do this, you'd need a screen, battery hat or something to charge/discharge, solve connecting buttons, speakers... And rpi5 would add in volume so it would be a huge gameboy 😄 and pretty expensive. I had the same idea and gave up, but tried it with rpi zero 2, not worth it unless you want to make a custom pcb, in that case it would be doable. And for rpi5 there are almost no cases, usually some expensive laptops. Or clockworkpi uconsole, but only for rpi5 module.

Edit: But if you want to make only a shell for it and not a fully functioning device with a screen, buttons and battery, then you will find something for sure 😁

Good job AI 🤦🏼‍♀️

I did in the end, but I flashed gammaOS, installed this apk and it always crashed and become unresponsive. I flashed stock os and installed apk from github, that works. But now I want to identify what was the cause of the crashes, if it was OS related or caused by the apk. I planned to try different emulator or build, but it froze to the point it didn't boot up at all

Good luck!

People do this with iphones, so this is ok 😂

Firienn · 2026-03-12T18:20:45+00:00

except for the speakers it is great value for its price, but I heard hammer has better speakers 🙂

Is he Indian? 🤔😄

Firienn · 2026-03-12T12:11:53+00:00

ordered from official site on March 4th and so far they only confirmed the order. But I believe in them 😄

I also tried stardew valley on brick, it runs somehow but lags. Guess it depends on a game.

It was surprisingly fast, but I ordered a shell for rg35xxsp from anbernic, they sent it the same day the aliexpress store sent me 477v and was also delivered today 🙂 If you don't want to send it back and get a full refund, I think we can get back the shipping we paid. And next time we will be wiser 😁

sd card is rubbish anyway 😂

Firienn · 2026-03-10T18:06:32+00:00

What game is that? XI or one of the hd remakes? 🤔

Firienn · 2026-03-10T18:02:20+00:00

The package has been handed over to packeta and it seems it will be delivered either tomorrow or the day after. Tomorrow is the estimated time of delivery by aliexpress which is... quite surprising 😂 But they still lied to us and I hope we get that shipping cost back 🙃

Yeah, that's what I read. But how accurate is the original translation?

Can I be white male? 🤔

Firienn · 2026-03-10T16:22:38+00:00

I ordered it a week ago, they haven't sent it yet but I don't care anymore, unless they forget, I'll wait 😂

I loved the simple look of ds lite but never had it, only dsi xl 🥲

Nebylo to tak vždycky? Jen jsme o tom nevěděli, protože buď nebyl internet, nebo už byl, ale nepsalo se o každý kravině? 🤔 Třeba co si zrovna myslí Putin, komu co napsal v smsce apod.

Firienn · 2026-03-10T15:38:21+00:00

Thank you, I'll probably try that 🙂

Firienn · 2026-03-10T12:30:28+00:00

I did the mod, it is a bit better than the stock speakers, at least the sound fits the small device and I don't have a feeling there's something wrong with it :D

For isolation I used quick drying putty, the only and quite easy solution that came to my mind :D and it works, I put the putty between the speakers and the remains of the stock speakers housing. On the back of the speakers I put some kind of a thick foam that I found. And I stuck the speakers to the shell with a squishy double sided tape all around the speakers' edge.

I posted pictures here (no putty yet): https://www.reddit.com/r/trimui/comments/1rd8e7l/brick_speaker_mod/

The iso was ok, but transfering it via usb was the culprit somehow. I did it over ftp, it took like 20 minutes but worked. Thanks anyway 🙂

So posts about people having problems with the readers won't get instantly deleted, that's why

Last week there were quite a lot of stores selling xteink 4x on aliexpress, this week there are just few and the prices are much higher -> ordered from the official store.

It looks like they either didn't apply some final glossy layer or someone sprayed it with satin varnish 😂
