Overview
The CircuitMess ByteBoi 2.0 is a DIY retro game console kit that teaches electronics assembly and game development. Powered by an ESP32-WROOM-32 dual-core microcontroller, it features a color TFT display, a built-in speaker for game audio, a microSD card slot for storing games, and an RGB notification LED.
Assembly takes approximately 1.5 hours with step-by-step instructions. The console comes pre-loaded with classic retro-style games that are playable immediately after building. Seven buttons (D-pad + A/B/C) provide traditional game console controls via 74HC165 shift registers.
Beyond playing, ByteBoi 2.0 is a platform for learning game development. Users can create their own games using CircuitBlocks visual coding or Arduino IDE, save them to the microSD card, and share them with others. The console can also wirelessly control the CircuitMess Wheelson 2.0 robot car.
