ESPlay Micro - Handheld Game Console
ESPlay Micro is a very hot project on Hackaday: https://hackaday.io/project/166707-esplay-micro. This ESPlay Micro game console is open source.
Update on 23rd, Nov 2020: We updated a new version, the ESPlay Micro V2.
Update on 20th, Nov 2019: We add the MP3 Mold of ESPlay Micro recently, Pls check the tutorial video of "How to add MP3 mold to ESPlay Micro": This is a Handheld game console based on ESP32, which is from Espressif with great functionality and really mature in the software development side. This project most inspired by Odroid Go and Pocketsprite, those devices are great and have well community support, but some of them had some issues that can be updated. Odroid Go had shared its SPI for both display and SD card, and they need patched esp-idf version for it and SD card not work very well in SPI mode, Then Pocketsprite only has esp32 wroom module without psram and also without SD card support so limited portability for saving collection of games.
So that is what this ESPlay micro updated. With SD card support added, customers can collect many more games. High-quality sound I2S DAC also added to make It possible a good Walkman.
Note that there only the PCBA, SD card, and USB cable, without case and battery, you will need a lipo battery, or USB charger, to start to play. Makerfabs is also designing some cases for this, but need some more time for us to make a reasonable solution.
