I love my “Super Mega Ultra Pi Boy 64 Thingy”! It was a lot of fun to build and was well worth it. I recommend just taking your time and doing some research before just jumping in. I’ve tried to layout as much as I could!
The whole HOW-TO guide can be found on the website and like the creator of this we too would love to see your own home build projects – get in touch!
