This is NOT a Nintendo Switch

Introducing Retro Lite | This is NOT a Nintendo Switch

Episode Description: While on the outside this completely custom emulation kit looks like a Nintendo Switch, it most certainly is not. This retro gaming emulation handheld was designed from the ground up and boards some impressive features one of which is an Overclocked Raspberry Pi CM4. Let’s take a look!

Thanks for the shoutout! It was a little over three years ago when StonedEdge and I started working on this project together so we have both learnt a lot since then! The joysticks do have screw posts to hold them down, we just ended up not using them since the joysticks stayed put so nicely without the screws. I also wrote most of the OSD and controller software whilst Stonededge handled the electronics design and software setup stuff. The dock was entirely StonedEdge since I had no need for one but I can see he's done a wonderful job of it too! We've since split up onto different projects, Stoned is working on a new revision of the retrolite and I am making my own version of the Steamdeck using a NUC and doing my best to kickstart a Youtube channel with it. Anyway, enjoy your new Retrolite and hopefully it sees more use than mine does 🤣

Ben is a close friend of mine. I remember his first handheld. It was nothing like this. Years of work, and revision. Well done 👍✅

[bits]

You can actually see what's real quality... Love the gap around the device, but especially what even most manufacturers don't match, around the ports, is so even that it looks really next level.

[AugiesHobbies]

I remember seeing this months back and wanting to build one. I was looking build a handheld WII and I saw this. It looked amazing.

[MrBoop]

A new Macho Nacho video always makes me happy! Thanks Tito!

[bitnation]

Wow this is perfect especially with a Pi 5 overclocked to 3ghz. Can't wait for the CM5.

[TheOddybody]

Amezing craftsmanship. Its clare to see that both these people do something of the PCB and CNC each as work, becuase the talent is made over years is so visable by this kit.

[NeonPixels]

This isn't the kind of thing I would build myself but I would totally purchase one pre-built. That dock is just an amazing touch.

StonedEdge said "None of these individual parts are for sale unfortunately as I’m not making kits & don’t plan to anytime soon. I am spending most of my time working on a new revision"

I'm glad you were able to get this video out. I know it was a long one in the making. I'll have to attempt assembling the kit I have. now that I have this quality how to video to show me how it's done.😀👍

[javiergonzalezcalvo]

WoW this work like the ps5 Slim on net are just two great productions

[realdragonrude]

While the pi5 is right around the corner the pi4 is still an extremely capable board for stuff like this so it makes sense to design around the cm4 not only is it going to become cheaper to get a cm4 but you will get really good emulation at the lower cost

[damustermann]

13:04 really just messed with my head. Top-left corner of the screen, while its right just was wild ;)

[gumbyx]

This looks great and I wish I could afford to make a non-metal version. Would be a nice project over in the spring.

[samtan.]

Thinner bezel screen is a must for next revision IMO 😊

[bobbrown]

This thing is amazing. I just wish they would use a non-custom battery. Nothing says "future e-waste" like a custom battery. Batteries are the one part that will eventually wear out - and making it custom means that I won't be able to get one in 5 years when it finally dies.

[Evercade_Effect]

I really enjoy seeing these modern retro emulation builds. It's always good to have options, and I geek out over this stuff.

[ryzencraft]

this is so cool i cant wait when the cm5 will be released and will much more power and will be an easy upgrade

[aravindvinayakan]

The only thing I would want to see added in a future version is a larger laminated display

[robertwolfgan]

When you love what you do, THIS is the type of beauty that comes out. Specially with the help of a hommie. Thank you guys.
