PALPi V5 Raspberry Pi Retro Handheld Game Console
A new retro Raspberry Pi Zero W handheld games console has recently been released by Hackster.io member Arnov Sharma in the form of the aptly named PALPi V5. The Raspberry Pi-based games console runs the Recalbox OS operating system and has a PAL display. Handheld console features include:
– Custom PCB (which was provided by PCBWAY)– IP5306 IC– 10uf 1206 Package Capacitor x8– 2R 1206 Package x1– 1K 0603 Package x2– 10uH Inductor x1– Four Pin SMD Button x 10– Two Pin SMD Button x 3 – LED Indicators x4 – USB Type-C port x1 – Dual 18650 cell SMD support – 3.7V 2600mah Li-ion cells x2 – Female header pins SMD Con40 version – Raspberry Pi Zero – 4 inch PAL display ( retrieved from CAR MONITOR)– 3D Printed Parts
"The brain of this project is the RECALBOX operating system, an open-source game console operating system based on Retro Arch. Raspberry Pi Zero W is used here with a custom PCB that has SMD buttons on the front and a battery on the back.This is currently the fifth iteration of the PALPi game console system.This version is special, instead of 3D printing the whole body, PCB's were used for the overall build, I used fusion360 to make this design, there are a total of four parts we need for 3D printing which are the Controller Grip which consists of left and right pairs, the second part is the screen support we need to print 2 units. /em>

"Its previous version was great but it had a battery issue, there wasn't much space inside the 3D printed body and by increasing the thickness we could accommodate more of cells but that would also increase its size also this version is thick as it consists of two stacked maps we can add cells and everything later in a single map this needs to be refined in this case but for now , it works and the SMD buttons feel much better than previously used touch buttons."
