Handheld Game Console based in Android Mini PC

[YuriBorghi]

Hi everyone!

As the subject says, I have a Mini Android PC (Rikomagic MK802IIIS) and I really want to make a Portable Gaming Console with it! It has 2 USB ports, 1 energy port (that is actually another USB port, but just for power source) and a SD Card port. I'll use a case with the size of a classic gameboy case, or maybe the original gameboy case. I'll install linux on it and the Emulation Station (at least I'll try ).

But there are some problems...

First of all, I don't know how can I connect a little LCD Screen to it, because the video output is HDMI. Of course I need to connect a speaker too.

There are another problem: I don't know how can I make the buttons. I'm thinking in buy a snes controller and hack it, as a tutorial from Adafruit teaches.

Here are some pics:

What do you guys think about it? Is it possible?

You'll need a display that will take HDMI, and you can pull analog audio from HDMI IIRC. Alternatively, you could grab and HDMI to composite converter.

Linux installed! I've followed a tutorial from the Rikomagic Forum to install it. It's the PicUntu version.
Next step is install the Emulation Station, or something similar.

Here's a video of the boot (sorry for the background noise, my little sister were playing in the room ).
