Video cards

This is My new project. The CompactPi. As i made with my Almost Finished RomniArcade (Posted HERE on MassDrop Projects). This one i started and finished just in January 2019 ! :) As a New Year Holiday project. The main difference of Romni Arcade, is the size, the MUCH better screen (Now a digital screen, 800x480/60fps) and there not more the Arcade Controller. Because it's impossible to fit it here. And this one features a tiny and cute OLED screen that shows it's name all the time. ;) And works as a Battery and Power indicator as well. I will update that page soon with videos and more infos. :) That project is much more cleaner and easier to do than Romni, less parts, and easier assembly. So it's much more "ready" to become a Kit. It uses a RaspberryPi inside, of course. Battery powered, Headphone output, etc... In this post you can find 3D Renders of it and real photos.

Being an old school gamer since pong, game watch units, up to my Playstation Pro i always dreamed about to create my own "console" from scratch. As a huge fan of mobile gaming and old mini-games from namco, coleco, nintendo (game watch) i started this project 2 years ago. Before that i have built 10 wooden arcades of my own design for friends, but it's a crazy idea doing woodwork inside an apartment. So i moved my mind to create a tiny little arcade based on the ones from the good old days, just because i didn't found anything like that in the market yet... Something that looks like a toy, but you can play like a serious gamer. :) And something that i could produce anywhere in the world just having internet to buy all the parts, solder iron, and a 3D Printer. As i have moved from Brazil to Toronto last year, i started to produce those units here after buying myself a new 3D printer. This way Romni arcade was born. It's on final beta stage, and near a point...

This is the 4th Gundam I've built in the last 6 months or so, and I definitely spent the most time on this one. I did my best to remove all the nub marks as pieces were removed, panel lined each piece and did some light shadowing, used silver and gold pens to detail the frame and weapons, applied the vast majority of the over 100 waterslide decals, and used a semi-flat clear coat to finish it off. (My camera's adjustments must have been off, because it is definitely purple, not blue as it looks in the photos.)
