i have similar concepts, at my youtube channel.

by that logic, any full size console, or full size pc, with a small usb powered led screen connected to it and an xbox controller duct taped to the that screen is a "handheld."

@@deforged *and a battery. And yeah you totally could do that! It would just be super heavy at that point, and probably too big to hold everything comfortably in two hands lol

@@deforged A handheld is a device that you can use while holding it with both hand so yes you could say that, but it would need to be light enough and a full size console/pc is heavy

AcTuaLly....

look at my concepts too, scroll down at my youtube channell. i was suggest that(make a handheld console by using a SBC and razer kishi) idea to a lot of channels(takiudon, phawx, diy perks, eta prime) since days/weeks/months ago

But this project doesn't reuse almost anything. Old phone is just as powerful and has just as good screen

@@ligametis I might have not been paying enough attention then; I thought this was a screen he already had + a board he already had. Those types of electronics require metals that are pretty nasty for humans and the environment to mine. I also think that popularizing taping components you have together over 'it's all in one sleek package I bought' will help people feel more into repurposing what they DO have.

@@KikiAelita 99,999% of people do not have such components randomly.

It's funny you mention that because I attempted to do this myself during the holiday break of 2018. It was to graft hardware controls on the most powerful phone, and have the unit be a fully pocketable device. A sort of "PSP Phone" if you will. Well naturally that lead me down the path of the JoyCons since the Nintendo Switch was released recently. And for the phone it was the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact (QSD 835). I soon found that there was no way for me to have the JoyCons connect via their Pogo Pins. I moved to an iPega controller, and also found that soldering the controls meant sacrificing the USB port on the phone. Since there's only one, it put a stop to the project as I needed that for debugging and charging. So the solution was to 3D Print a new housing for the Phone, which moved the USB-C to the side for charging only, but internally it had the controller connected to a micro hub, which plugged into the original phone's USB. This all happened on the right side, leaving the left side open to add something like a small lithium battery, but that would've made one side heavier than the other. I paused the project due to commitments, and was even working to make this new housing to give the phone a larger chamber for its speakers. But it was too much for an amateur by himself. I should've been thinking outside the box. The bluetooth connectivity on the iPega was bad, but the JoyCons we're okay, so it just needed a Custom 3D-Case to fit the Rails and a better phone to counterbalance the battery spent from the Bluetooth. Then 9 months later we saw the release of the ASUS ROG 1, which actually had two USB ports, making it a viable donor. But it was a huge phone which wouldn't have been pocketable with permanent controls attached. Then a couple months later we got the release of the Razer JungleCat, which basically solved the problem I was attempting. I felt dumb. And a little after that I heard someone else was doing the exact same project I was doing, but was using the older Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (QSD 801) as the donor and for the controls it was a PS Vita, and the connectivity was using a daughter-board to the phone. All of these options are pretty clunky, and the closest solution we have seen to this is actually the Retroid Pocket 3+ that recently dropped.

It looks janky, but not as bad as you'd think. The only problem is that I broke my .25m FPC HDMI cable making this and needed to use one that is .5m. It's folded a few times to take up less space, but it still looks strange.

When the NDA expires on the prototypes that I have like this of unreleased retail devices, I'll consider showing them in a video. Some of them are pretty cool.

for the price thanksfully its not only a streaming handheld, this thing is a fraud is a rob ! so expensive !

Well said.

The video before this has the link to the controller and screen that I used. The screen seems to be out-of-stock, so you might not be able to find one with the same plastic backing as me, but there are more from other sellers on AliExpress. (Note: none of these links are affiliate links) The FPC HDMI cables I used are similar to this: bit.ly/3B0S7mq If you don't care that you can see the HDMI sticking out from the top, get a short cable with an angled connector on one side. Type C adapter: bit.ly/3FfNSpv Battery: bit.ly/3gKQVg7 ^I would rather use a rectangle battery if I was going to use a Pi 4B.

@@TakiUdon Did you get the screen case separately, I'm asking this because this AliExpress seller isn't including a cased option with the screen.

If your talking about an Android tv device then you should get a shield tv. It has a built in Chromecast and you can emulate plenty of stuff plus game streaming.

Nvidia Shield TV 2017, 2019. And then there are countless Android TV boxes available online. Just look for the one with better processor and Android TV support.

@@saqqawattuhb7505 if I remember correctly the 2017 shield tv( the one I have) has basically the same hardware as the newer models. I think the pro model has a bit more ram though

Isn't that an Shield TV?

You could get a shield tv, add retroarch to an android tv device, or get an ayn odin with a dock... though from the little Ive played with dock mode with my Odin there will be significant time involved getting it setup the way you'd like to use as a media device in addition to gaming.

That's a great point about those dev kits.

I am now sad that I did not think of this :[
