For those worried about the end of their Game Boy days, here's good news! The Game Boy might be gone, but this pack lets you bring back the fun. We've gathered all the essential parts to build your own DIY GameGRRL - a portable Raspberry Pi device running MAME and NES emulators. This is the 2.0 version, updated for Raspberry Pi 2 or 3. It comes with more buttons like D - Pad, A, B, X, Y, L, R, pause, and start, plus four extra buttons on the PiTFT. The PiGRRL is a portable handheld game emulation station powered by a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and a PiTFT display. You'll need to do 3D printing, assembly, and installation, but our learn guide will assist you. This pack has almost everything you need, except for the Raspberry Pi, case, battery, wires, hardware, and soldering tools. You'll have to 3D print your own case, and we have a 3D printing guide for it. A ~2500mAh lipoly battery is required, and we recommend using our batteries for safety. We've made building easier by cutting the build time in half with a custom gamepad PCB. Just solder the buttons and an IDC box header to it. You'll also need to solder other parts, so hand tools and small parts like silicone wires, screws are needed. Read the tutorial to see what else is required. Note that this is a medium - difficulty project involving skills like soldering, 3D printing, and Linux installation. The PiGRRL2 is a fun DIY project, though it won't have perfect audio/video/emulation capabilities.






Using the PiGRRL 2.0 Kit is a great way to build your own game emulator. First, you'll need to 3D print the case using our 3D printing guide. Make sure to use a ~2500mAh lipoly battery, preferably ours, to avoid any damage to the project. When it comes to assembly, start by soldering the buttons and an IDC box header to the custom gamepad PCB. Then, you'll need to solder other parts together. You'll need hand tools like those for soldering and cutting, and small parts such as silicone wires and screws. Our learn guide will walk you through the installation process, including installing Linux. As for maintenance, keep the device in a dry and clean place. If you encounter any issues with the emulation, check the settings in the emulators. Remember, this is a DIY project, so don't expect perfect audio/video performance. If you have any questions, refer back to the tutorial and our guides.
