It is like a standard gba.

So it could be a pretty convenient portable piggy + midi device. Not sure about the price though.

I like opensource console and Specially "linux" one not android one.
So this kind of project is what i like to see on the web.

But honnestly i'm not sure a pi console should be made by those guy.
The controller seem to be terrible, the look is awfull, and It doesn't fit in a pocket...

This has probably already been mentioned but the eNcade sounds like a pretty sweet deal when it comes to Raspi action.  Their "multiplayer software" could be good or bad but the device itself looks like a winner.

This leaves a few gpios unused. Details on the link. It shouldnt be a problem to add buttons, the gpio seems diesgned to add digital buttons pretty easily. You can use a multiplexor to add as many buttons as youd like:

The gp2x suffers against the psp for a few reasons:
- fake dpad
- shitty battery life
- (arguably) lower quality sound
- no suspend to ram feature
- i think the shoulder buttons feel better.
- built in wifi lets you grab samples from the world.
- bulti in mic on newer modules lets you sample (but with the hassle of having to use a file manager.

My dream handheld would include the above, but with the midi and usb audio capabilities of the pi, along with maybe a boot menu switch that lets you boot into a simple audio recorder for on the go sampling. Another button can be used for rsyncing your project folder to the cloud big_smile.

**to clarify i dont want to use the hdmi/ composite out of the pi, nor the usb for inputs such as the buttons i mention. my intention is to build a battery powered pi enclosure mimicing the gp2x, featuring 10 buttons for dpad / face/ shoulder buttons, hooked up to the gpio pins, emulating/ generating keystrokes via python with an lcd screen hooked into that little display pi port, or gpio if such a thing would work. a gp2x, with decent dpad, and support for many audio / midi interfaces would be the bomb. I dont get why yall love PSP so much. GP2X kills it, but is a pain in the arse on so many levels.

heh im about to move back to gp2x midi from pi because its not very portable... hopefully somone makes a gb laser case for the pi that supports shoulder pads someday big_smile

That sounds like fun, actually. I don't know enough about piggy to know what would need to be built, but when I have my laser up and running again I might have a play about with it.
