This is TinyTendo, a real hardware NES handheld that is the size of the original GameBoy. This is not emulation, it is not a Pi, it is not a NOAC, and it is not an FPGA. This is real NES hardware from a real NES. This project will also be open sourced in a few weeks.

And here we have the first go at turning it into an actual design. :) I opted for a pre built W5500 module instead of building it from scratch, saves time and makes it easier to validate. I was going to make it just a flex but the rigid + flex setup will make LTE easier later.

Hey, I shouldn't have to say this but, quit putting Noctua fans in your original Xboxes. They move less air than the stock fan even when forced to 100% speed, and what was intended to be a fan "upgrade" is just a downgrade as your Xbox runs hotter. Just clean your stock fan. :)

TinyTendo utilizes real NES chips that have been physically cut and ground down smaller. A simple run down is that I sand away the bottom of the chip till I hit the die and leads, then I cut the chip smaller with a Dremel. The end result is 10x10x2mm, and surface mountable.

This is an odd game, but the title is relatively fitting considering what I'm playing it on. Don't worry, I won't spam you with TinyTendo photos/tweets much more. :)

Got my Xbox power management PCBs from @JLCPCB in the mail today. :) Now I just gotta wait for the parts to get here to assemble them, can't wait! Pretty crazy how much smaller they are than the stock PSU too.

One upside I guess you could say to no longer having to deal with the competition deadline, is now I can spend more time on "quality of life" stuff on my portable Xbox. For example, this flex PCB I made for connecting the modchip, instead of the 12 wires I had to use before. :)

Swapped all the parts from a trashed non-working NES over to an OpenTendo motherboard for a friend. Booted first try! I don't normally even use my own motherboards but it's pretty fun every now and then. (Sorry about the messy desk in the background)

OpenTendo recently hit 600 stars on GitHub! Never thought it would get that far, and frankly I always felt like nobody really cared about it. But I guess I've been proven wrong. Thanks!!! :)

@DominicTarason I do hope we see more than per game targeting soon. Currently it's mostly "hacks" that get Bloodborne running better. While that is amazing it isn't moving the rest of the library forward yet. Looking at the compatibility list, Bloodborne is almost the only game that even boots.

Due to an unfortunate mishap my Xbox power board blew up taking the trimmed motherboard with it. :( I've got new parts on the way, and I'll be continuing the project, but I've run out of time for it to be an entry in the Bitbuilt competition. It was fun while it lasted.

Wiring up the Xbox pixel bus by hand sure made me appreciate @MakeMHz flex PCBs even more.

Been working on a replacement S controller shell on the side based on @WeskMods 3D scans. The front half is nearly done. :)

The OpenTendo GitHub repository now has schematics for the NES-CPU-03 and NES-CPU-04 motherboard revisions. Only 05-10, and the Sharp NES TV motherboard remain. Once these are done OpenTendo will officially document every OEM and licensed frontloading NES motherboard revision.

@tomwarren Yeah but Windows. Anyone tried using Windows on this type of device? The user experience is HORRIBLE. If I'd end up installing SteamOS on it anyway may as well just grab hardware it's made for and even save a few bucks. :)

Now that's a lot sleeker, what do you think? I even managed to art a little.

Well that was a headache, yet another feature proved out for my portable Xbox. :) Now I just have to turn this into a sleek PCB/flex.

Well I made a dumb purchase today. Guess we'll see just how dumb it was when it gets here and I start patching it up. :) (At least it was only $45 before tax!)

This actually drove me to make it "reversible" I haven't uploaded it yet as I never can find the time, but I actually designed a PCB so that trimmed chips could be put back where they came from. As long as someone doesn't mess up trimming the chips, they can undo everything. 3/5

The new TinyTendo audio amp arrived and it fits perfectly (Plenty of room for the new battery setup). So all that's really left before open sourcing is wrapping up documentation!
