Alley Cat Engineering has introduced the Pi Tin, a custom handheld retro gaming console powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and fitted into a recycled Altoids mint tin. This open-source project supports emulation for various classic gaming systems such as SNES, GBA, and PS1. It features a 2.8-inch display, comfortable gamepad, and a robust battery that offers five hours of gameplay. Users can choose between constructing the device in either a 3D printed clamshell case or an Altoids tin, although the latter presents more complexity in assembly and ergonomics, highlighting the DIY spirit of retro gaming.
The Pi Tin combines retro gaming nostalgia and modern technology, featuring Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, rich compatibility with classic games, and customizable build options.
Alley Cat Engineering emphasizes the open-source nature of the Pi Tin, allowing enthusiasts to assemble their custom consoles with different case options, enhancing accessibility to retro gaming.
