Gameboys are cool but they're sooooo big/cumbersome. If only there was something even smaller I could carry around... Luckily, Anthony is here to check out the Arduboy FX and Arduboy Mini which are two compact handhelds with over 200/300 games loaded onto it. Is this actually a viable gaming experience or is there a reason most handhelds are bigger?

Thank you for your review Anthony! The final mini will ship with softer buttons and also RGB LED! Thanks for the new quote now I don't have to update the website I guess! :) The kickstarter finished, but pre-orders for the mini will be available once the new prototype is validated!
Looks great
I love everything about this, but I hope you guys make a new model with a screen at least 160x144 pixels ;)
I er may have been playing all night with the emulations, mainly Rpg and Rogue.
I feel like a great addition to those device would be a induction shaker/flywheel battery/capacitor ofc with loading LEDs and overload cut off.And eSIM capability...
why an old usb port? is the arduboy old stock? Was it made 5 years ago? I want new stuff when I buy new stuff.
Yes, we need more of these videos: retro, linux, hardware hacking, etc by Anthony.
Don't forget the Anthony part
@@mniakan754 Agreed, I don't always watch every episode but if I see it has Anthony I always watch.
The Arduboy is already mini, but some sadistic folks thought they needed an even smaller one and made it....and then some seriously deranged folks out there said: we can go even SMALLER!!! Insane, totally insane🤣🤣
The mini is Linus sized... the big one is great for his kids?
I need a console for my bacteria to play on, so I'm looking forward to the Arduboy Micro(scopic)
I hate it. 🤣🤣🤣
I have hands similar sized to Linus (if not smaller)
That would be the same as the bigger one in Anthony's hands xD
cant wait to see one on molecular level xD
i wish LTT did project videos that were based on arduino and raspberry pi boards. they are really nice to make sensor projects with.
Project get niche, he'd have to spin off yet another channel. Plus other people are already doing it and he doesn't want to step on someone's specialization. A bit lime what happened with only fans.
@@jemiebridges3197 any creators you'd recommend for this kind of content?
@@ReceptiveRaptor Dronebot workshop is one of the best, Ben eater if you want to go really low level, Andreas spiess for more generalised electronics and radio engineering, Zack Freedman for some wild and wacky stuff.
@@ReceptiveRaptor bitluni would be my pick. Have a look at his led ping pong wall :)
Agreed, when they do videos on 20 year GFX cards or other niche videos.
Yes, we want more of this, please
I would love more videos like this! Anything that involves openness, community, and ingenuity always fascinates me. Things like indie games, custom built keyboard, or crowd sourced and open sourced tinker-able devices like this.
I think a lot of seasoned programmers and engineers had a leg up by growing up around simpler tinker-able devices being the norm, whereas many of us today
need to go out of our way to have a similar experience.
I bought the arduboy FX immediately after this video. Wish it had the 300 games + USB-C but for $60 and the size of a credit card, I NEEDED it!
More of these please. Love little projects like this.
I love the nerdy retro stuff.Thank you for bringing this to public!❤
Anything that Anthony is intrigued by is amazing, hearing the passion that is experienced means so much to me. The cast has such a great diverse knowledge of things, it's awesome to hear how they can professionally articulate how they feel; trying not to take anything away from Anthony. Thank you
Yes, please more like this. I've finally gotten on the maker space after getting a Raspberry Pi, and I just can't stop having ideas and FUN now! The communities that have sprung up in the maker space are brilliant, and it just brings me joy to see tech that invites you to kinda choose your own adventure.
I haven't had this much fun since I was a kid dissecting computers for parts. Things are just so much more accessible now.
The RP2040 is a great chip, and quite inexpensive. A little bit of work, one could easily make a better 32 bit "mini game boy".
People have gotten DOOM to run on a Pi Pico. There's a dozen or more 3rd party boards using the RP2040 chip. Some with built in displays and buttons.
The RP2040 also can do CD quality i2s audio. It can do a LOT with it's programmable i/o. VGA, HDMI...
(not a paid shill, I just love the RP2040, I have a 10 picos, they are $4 each, and a Pi 3B and a Odroid, I'm with ya on Raspberry Pi stuff)
Yes I love seeing stuff like this. Please show more open source projects like this.
Love it. we need more of this, and more Anthony
i really love this kind of videos, they let us see the real feeling and thougts that he has with no filter like there is in ltt in order to be an "professional channel" dont get me wrong, i also like that videos, but i like the energy he puts here, feels really personal. i hope you the best bro i really appreciate the effort you put just for the love of tech. greetings from argentina, i hang out with friends and see specifically your videos, we love them.
Would love to see more retro stuff as always!
I always like an Anthony video. Idk why exactly, but that man just sparks joy in me. He seems like a good friend to have.
More please this is exactly my jam!
Love videos like this that feature cool tech. No one does a better job reviewing than Anthony.
Absolutely do more stuff like this!
I would love to see Anthony do more reviews and showcases of open-source projects like these!
I totally love the concepts behind both the arduboy fx and the playdate ! simplicity and nice looking designs. But I would definetly go on the arduboy for the total opensource/hardware and hackability perspectives ! Can't agree more with you
Love to see more of this kind of stuff!
Anthony's retro tech/niche gaming videos are the only short circuit videos I watch
absolutely need more of this :)
yes, more of these please
just got my arduboy and love it. please review more tech like this
Seeing such a small device in such big hands had me laughing the whole time
I love this. Just a quirky little thing, that you can learn on. No real use, just, play with it. No harm done, much fun to be had.
Definitely interested in deeper dive, with coding platform, libraries etc
Please more stuff like these hands-on stuff
Another great one, Anthony. And yes... I'd like to see more like it!
Oooo we need more retro style stuff! I remember playing the Gameboy Color under my sheets late at night with the little plug-in light adapter. Games and devices back then just hit different than they do now.
Hey yeah, I definitely want to see Anthony do more stuff with this kind of tech. More please!
Heck yeah, I'm all up for more content about these sweet contraptions
This type of content is great! So many options out there and like to see your hands on thoughts.
I love the custom PCB screen printing on these!
I'd love to see vids on anbernic devices, or any small emulation device. I love my 353v, with the black seraph mod makes it damn near perfect
I would be interested on seeing more about it
If it's something that Anthony is passionate about, y'all should really do more of this sort of stuff! This is super cool!
I like videos like this where you get to learn about a community project where you might not otherwise
Really interesting, definitely hoping for more on stuff like this.
anthony's videos are some kind of a guilty pleasure while working. maaaan is your voice relaxing
As someone who is planning to build something like this for myself, I would love to see more of this for ideas.
Look in the community... a user posted schematic for the pcb and you can use a 2.42" ssd1309 oled display!
I really enjoy the AnthonyTechTips :)
I don't comment to much on internet, but this is time when I feel that I need to. This type of content - nerdy, hacky, DIYy projects are something I love, and something we need to see more! That's something which can bring more people into creating things, into thinking like engineers.
Yes! defiantly do more of this. I have an arduboy FX and its awesome!
i am so hyped to get one!!! the normal size one! but kinda wish it was type c charger....
I would love to see more of this kind of stuff
I'd love to see Anthony go more in-depth on the Arduboy! Please, please film a full review!
SHOW MOAR please! I get mine Q1 2023! Anthony Retro Videos are my favorite
This would be the prefect size for Linus.
Give us MORE Anthony, more of this awesome charismatic hell of man and his nerdy stuff
Cool video, always interested seeing these niche things and till this video didn't realise the value indie companies (especially community projects) get from putting "LTT said this" on their products given your gravitas.
This video is honestly fantastic, Anthony is so passionate about this little product, and the way he explains everything down to the button feel is just lovely.
By far the best host of LMG, right next to Riley.
More content like this please!
WE NEED MORE OF THESE VIDEOS!!
As a developer I'm intrigued. I don't have the free time anymore to play with something like this but I would have loved it in high school. I made lots of programs for the ti graphing calculator. I even bought the overpriced TI 84 silver edition so that I would have extra flash storage for all my programs.
I personally would like if you guys did deeper dives on whatever you did a light review on. Including the Arduboy Mini!
Love seeing Anthony in the vids!
plz make more of these type of product review
Yes make more videos about this! Especially the software side of things
Finally Linus sized console.
Anthony’s the best, just find him any bit of gaming oddware and he’ll deliver an entertaining video. I kind of want teenage engineering to make more stuff like the playdate. I feel like they were there early but now others are stepping in and this definitely has the look of their other products.
I'm in pain just looking at this. Like the gameboy pocket is already so small that I couldnt play it for more than a few minutes before flaring up my carpal tunnel, and here they made the arduboy about an inch wide.
So Thanks Guys, you're causing physical pain (I guess technically its just in my head and feels physical).
Now keep working to make it smaller than my thumb!
I pre-ordered an Arduboy FX, delivery is also in June. 😭 I'm excited, though. I'm definitely going to make a game for it. 🕹
Yes please. More of this content!
Double Anthony Vids today Pog.
For serious reviews and unboxings this is the best person for the job on this channel
Def want to see something similar but for bigger hands
Yes this is really freakin cool. My dad and I used to build small electronics like this on bread boards. This is right up that alley and I love it!
Very cool, I'd like to see more of this type of content!
Brilliant, loved it. Lot's more please.
Looks fun, especially bigger one
Just got mine in today. Great tiny device for passing time at work without doom scrolling on my phone.
We do need a window into the open source hardware world like this. I definitely would like to see more videos like this.
It kind of reminds me about the mactini - the apple advert parody, very funny. Also there is one little thing that kind of popped out to me, for the mini version must be in some kind of encloser as I thin the bear contacts will be a perfect ground for collection of skin oil which are fairly conductive, so the thing can be killed by just handling it.
Yay for Anthony being back on our screens!
Definitely more videos like these!!!
Really contemplating getting one just for support for Open Source hardware and software
That is really cool. I love this and agree with Andy if only this was around when I was younger
I really love this nerdy gaming-stuff!
Anthony's enthusiasm for anything is contagious. Hes so very smart but communicates in a very easygoing way. The sort of person who makes life more enjoyable for the people around him. :)
More of this please!
Whenever You’re ready Anthony. I truly believe you can take your own future into your own hands should you choose too. You’re extremely smart and a natural behind camera .
You’d excel no doubt if you start your own LLC / Own Media Company . I think you have enough charisma and smarts to carry a channel alone.
I hope one day you’ll do So.
Yes, we would love to see more.
I don't know if there any youtube ready projects yet, but tinyML projects show that microcontrollers with miniscule storage and processing power can do amazing things. The OK Google function on android is actually a neural network that runs on a 14kb flash controller because they had to use the DSP controller since it needs to work while the CPU is off during sleep.
Definitely love supporting community projects; especially gaming related ones that use Pi’s/Arduino’s!
I built something very similar to this very recently, except it has the footprint of a 9V battery and is powered by one. Well, you can also power it via the micro USB port. So with the battery it's a bit thicker than this one, but smaller when looking at its face.
Extremely similar to the Arduboy mini which is kind of funny given that I didn't even know it existed. Same display, 16mb of flash, but it's running on an RP2040 instead of an ATMega microcontroller.
More of Anthony, and more of this cute cool microconsoles! Have you checked out the Thumby? it's.... EVEN SMALLER! I made a game for it just to see if I could, it's pretty cool.
They're... so... CUTE!!!! And I love Anthony's brand of matter-of-fact passion for these kinds of adventurous tech products.
u can tap twice onto that Anker powerbanks button and it enters a mode where it supplies up to 1A (I guess) until it dies with no auto off or something like that
I love the coverage of building things from the ground up. Like software developer tools, hardware hacking tools, etc. I also watch a lot of coverage around folks these days still writing old commodore programs, etc. I think there's some overlap there and it's worth checking out for sure!
this thing brings the meaning back to the little pocket iin the right jean pocket
P.S Power banks come with a low power mode to power devices which are almost undetectable.
The little one was showing different shade of greys… or is it a high resolution screen do differently spaced pixels?
Give us more! Retro stuff, emulation (legal only ofc 😉) and cheap things that can open up whole avenues of new projects for a tinkerer.
I want to see more of this
Yes I love this kind of stuff-low cost hardware that does incredible things. Thanks Anthony!
Please Anthony, review the fully open source, mechanical keyboard MNT Reform laptop. That would be very interesting to see your take on it. Thanks
Would absolutely love to see more open-source, "hacky" hardware in the future, its just outright cool to see
Anthony's videos are always the best ones!
