"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."
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.
