DIY Handheld Game Console using Raspberry Pi Zero

A very interesting Instructables from GreatScottLab showing how to make a handheld game console for retro games using Raspberry Pi Zero, a rearview LCD, and an audio amplifier. The console runs of NiMH rechargeable batteries supported by a self-made over-discharge protection circuit. The project uses recalboxOS, a light embedded system created to run on the Raspberry Pi platform. The instructable is divided in to two videos: the first video shows the connections among the parts and the second one describes the enclosure for the game console.
