Designing my own Game Console

Some time ago I built an arcade machine to play retro games, using a Raspberry Pi and RetroPie to emulate old consoles. Since then, I always wondered if I could also build a handheld game console from scratch, downscaling all the components until I could make it portable enough for the hands. This project moved fast and was finished long time ago, but I had a lot of setbacks. The camera I was using suddenly broke and I couldn't finish the last scenes until very recently.
