Since I was going for a external controller I decided that a pelican case would be cool for the housing and would look nicer then a wooden box strapped to the headrest. I went back to the drawing board and decided on a SNES controller for it is the right mix of button layout for all the classic systems and it was smaller then the 6 button genesis controller. See that nice wood panel above in the pictures?… yeah… The finished wood case was too big for Arthur to hold. Step 2: A plan never survives the first encounter… Sorry if that is a image you didn’t want to think about but hey you only got 2 eyes and 2 lungs may as well protect them. I wore a dust mask and I was still blowing black snot the following morning. It will trash your lungs and your eyes so protect them and make sure you clean up with a damp rag when you are done working with it.

*Further note* The finished console is a full raspberry pi computer. Shall we get to building? This took me about 3 weeks of tinkering after I scrapped the first 2 handhelds, I started pretty much as soon as I finished the bartop. I will try to keep it all in millimeters for accuracy but somethings are only sold with inch measurements here in the states. Some things are only mentioned in MM and others are only referenced in inches. Oh and I am sure I am going to drive someone nuts as I will switch between Metric and Imperial measurements with equal aplomb. Take a break put it aside then when you come back you may have the fresh perspective to figure out the problem that was driving you insane in the first place. Ill include pictures from the failed project just to show that sometimes things don’t go perfectly and that is OK. I am sure Arthur is going to like playing games instead of sitting for 3 hours in the car. But the build was fun and the end result works. I wanted to build a Gameboy and wound up with a cyberpunk looking headrest console. I chose the the 5″ non touch TFT with HDMI input however in hindsight with the finished project I would have picked a analog/composite display as the driver board and signal wires are easier to route then HDMI.

I used my 10% off coupon for being a pro member with Adafruit, I have to say their support forums are great and the benefit of being an Instructables Pro member was worth it just with the savings on that one order. Unlike my other projects I bought almost everything for this build. I figured I would just need to add a couple more buttons and it would be a peace of cake. My original plan for this build was based off the Adafruit PiGRRL but I I wanted the ability to play the SNES and Genesis emulators. And while fun for the basement perhaps Arthur would want to play it in the car for the long drives back to his Moms house. Scope of project: After building a Bar-Top Raspberry Pi retro gaming machine I determined that while cool I cant take it around easily as it weighs about 40 lbs and is the size of a large microwave.
