What it is
A pocketable console with a D-pad, two buttons and a bright little screen. It plays classic-style games and a small library I'm writing for it.
Hardware
One custom board carries the display, buttons and battery. The shell is printed in two halves and closes with four screws.

Development

Buttons, battery and display on one board. Only one bodge wire.
