Hi!

I am reading in this forum for quite a while now and I thought I could start my presence here with the presentation of my first self designed retro handheld

In the last few months I designed a custom shell for a 5 inch retro handheld and designed the internals.
I called it the "simplyRetro Z5".

Front:



Internals:



It features:

• Custom 3D printed shell

• Custom linux distribution for fast boot (from button press to emulationstation in 10 seconds - https://imgur.com/a/TFRGUFs)

• Single press power on and long press power off

• Battery Monitor icon and safe shutdown

• Stereo Speakers, Audio Jack and Volume Control

• 12 Buttons

• 5 inch display

• Raspberry Pi Zero powered

Everything is released on Thingiverse and Github.

Tomorrow I will try to create a video of it in action.
I hope you like it

Best regards

Nice! What are the overall dimensions?

Good question, I always forget the banana for scale

The overall dimension are 210mm (width) x 100mm (height) x 22mm (thickness)

Very nice build! I love how much custom work you put into it.

Looks great!

Definitely interested in the fast boot setup you got.

Ooooh. This looks nice.

Thank you all for the kind words! I was finally able to record a small video.

Incredible. Great job

That shell looks phenomenal, and I'm not even a huge fan of orange. Well done!
