An innovative modder and hacker has used a OUYA games console to create an awesome portable OUYA handheld console which has taken almost two years to build.
The OUYA handheld games console is fitted with a 7 inch display offering a resolution of 720p and its exterior casing was created using a friend’s 3D printer. This custom casing not only provides a sleek and durable exterior but also includes essential features such as a charging connection and a headphone jack, making it a fully functional portable gaming device.
Technical Specifications and Features
The OUYA handheld games console is also fitted with a rechargeable battery that is capable of powering the portable Android OUYA for around 4.5 hours on a single charge. This battery life is quite impressive considering the power demands of a 7-inch display and the gaming hardware inside. The modder has ensured that the battery is both efficient and long-lasting, allowing for extended gaming sessions without the need for frequent recharges.
In addition to the battery, the console includes a variety of ports and connectivity options. The charging port is conveniently placed for easy access, and the headphone jack allows for private listening, which is perfect for gaming on the go. The 720p display provides clear and vibrant visuals, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
Development Journey and Challenges
Creating this portable OUYA handheld console was no small feat. The modder spent nearly two years perfecting the design and functionality. This long development period highlights the complexity and dedication required to transform a stationary console into a portable device. The use of a 3D printer to create the custom casing is a testament to the innovative approach taken in this project. 3D printing allowed for precise customization and adjustments, ensuring that all components fit perfectly within the compact design.

“This is my first portable in almost two years that I completed. I know I’ve done a lot of other stuff of course, but as far as technical “portables” go, this is my first since “The GeneBoy“. It’s amazing to see the difference two years makes in technique and quality, but it’s just a stepping stone into the next project, whatever that may be.”
The modder’s reflection on the project underscores the evolution of their skills and techniques over the two-year period. The mention of “The GeneBoy” suggests that this is not their first foray into creating portable gaming devices, indicating a history of innovation and a passion for gaming technology.
