The custom Xbox handheld device created by Redherring32 is an impressive feat of engineering. It uses a real OG Xbox motherboard, allowing it to be fully compatible with the entire original Xbox game library without any emulation. The device features a 9-inch 480p display, USB-C charging and power delivery, and planned WiFi 6 connectivity for wireless Xbox Live functionality.
Redherring32 spent over 4 months researching and developing this custom handheld, including the challenge of trimming down the original Xbox motherboard to fit the portable form factor. They've published their findings online, so others could potentially replicate the process, though Redherring32 has stated they don't intend to build and sell any additional units.
While an official Xbox handheld from Microsoft is still rumored to be in the works, this custom device from a dedicated fan showcases the potential for a portable Xbox experience that can play the full library of original Xbox games. It's an impressive technical achievement, even if it's not a commercially available product.
