A Modern Game Gear Powered by Raspberry Pi

In this video, I build the Zega Mame Gear by @zegamamegear a custom retro handheld inspired by the classic Game Gear, powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and packed with retro gaming goodness. I show you how I soldered up the parts, customise the shell, and put it all together. It's not really a tutorial - but is a documentation of what I did, and any issues I had along the way. So might help someone out there! If you enjoy retro gaming, console modding, Raspberry Pi projects, and handheld builds, you’re in the right place. Running this channel is expensive.
