About the project
For this project I took a Raspberry Pi 4, put a case on it and attached a display. I attached this to a mount on top of my Xbox controller. I took rubber bands and attached a power bank to the mount also. I then used Batocera as the OS for the retro gaming system.

Story
I saw a video about the Steam Deck and I wanted to create something similar to it but for retro gaming as that was the only feasible option for me. I drew some sketches out and came to the idea of having a raspberry pi with a display alongside a power bank mounted on top of a controller. I ordered my components and once they arrived I got to work. I mounted the display on top of my Raspberry Pi using rubber bands, and then I attached a power bank to the back of the Xbox controller. I used a mount designed for holding phones to attach my Raspberry Pi to the Xbox controller. I then installed Batocera Linux onto my micro SD card for the OS. The following video I made goes more in depth on this project:
