In foreign Reddit forums, some masters often share homemade works. Recently in the SBCGaming version, a netizen shared the super powerful “RyzenDeck handheld console”. It was not modified from an existing product, but made from scratch. It took a total of 9 months. Although there are many similar products on the market now, so you don’t have to be so tired, but he regrets it and successfully realized his dream as a little boy.
Foreign players spent 9 months making their own RyzenDeck handheld console to fulfill their boyhood dream
A few days ago in the SBCGaming version, a netizen named Raven0606 shared that he spent 9 months building the “RyzenDeck” handheld console. The idea was a dream several years ago. He hopes to be able to play emulators and PC games outside. Some people may wonder why you are so tired? Just buy a handheld console like SteamDeck. He also gave an explanation for this
在項目進行到一半時我還不知道 SteamDeck ，當我發現它時感到非常驚訝，也因此改了名字以向 SD 致敬！:)
Speaking of which, this is quite special. Players like this kind of DIY stuff should basically follow game news. Unexpectedly, they didn’t know about SteamDeck, and they hadn’t even heard of ROG Ally and MSI CLAW. In any case, his production process is really admirable and not ordinary difficult.
Initially, we started with a computer host, dismantled it and removed the necessary parts:
Keep the parts that eventually work:
Then start redesigning and assembling, which will take a lot of effort:
He did not elaborate on the production process, but only shared a picture, which seems to be the first version of the shell design:
The first version looks like he tried to see if he could do it, but ultimately failed:
This is the final version of the shell:
The internal wiring is super complicated:
The two large holes at the back are for heat dissipation, and the large fans will blow the hot air out:
After installing the casing, it looks like this. However, you must be very careful when holding it. If you are not careful, your fingers may be cut by the fan blades. There is no protection for the outside of the cooling fan:
The front looks very tough and the thickness is thick, so it has a certain weight. According to the manufacturer, the weight is 1.560 kilograms without the external battery. The external battery has a capacity of 108wh and can provide approximately 1.75 hours to 4 hours of battery life depending on the task. The power consumption is a bit high. Light gaming at 30fps requires about 28W. The Witcher 3 runs at 45~55 FPS and requires 65W:
In terms of hardware, this processor is AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, with 6 cores and 12 threads, and built-in 32GB DDR4 and P3 1TB SSD storage space. The screen is 8 inches 1280×800, and it also provides HDMI interface output, so it can also be played on an external large screen.
Although compared with handheld gaming products on the market, this one is really too bulky and requires an external battery, but this is the romance of DIY. Many netizens also left comments below praising, “It’s really powerful”, “It looks like a big project”, “It’s very impressive”.
