Looking at the project now, I feel nostalgic for those odd black-and-white buttons on the original Xbox controller.
The designer told me the shell is an original design 3D-printed from industrial-level plastic.
Redherring provided the files if you wish to print one yourself.
Inside, the pared-down motherboard is combined with 12 custom PCBs for all the various controls and components.
Of course, the size will limit its functionality.
The machine usually gets about 1.5 hours of playtime, though it supports up to 100W of USB-C charging.
The designer added that he plans to build a CompactFlash for storage andeventuallyan M.2 SATA SSD.
Well, it wont connect to the original version thatwent offline in 2010.
I wonder if anybody still plays ad-hoc Zombies based solely on the honor system.

PS5 and Xbox gamers are out of luck… for now.
