Retroflag GPi CASE 2 for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4(CM4), 32G SD Card(with RecalBox System), Card Reader, Safe Shutdown, with 4000mAH Battery

Amazing what this case can do with a little effort.

I am really satisfied with quality of this handheld. It was easy to put together and exceeded my expectations. My only complaint is the lack of a rechargable battery but I overcame that by using rechargable AA batteries. I would most definitely recommend this GPI Case.

Im a Pi nerd and happily spend my time cobbling together devices. However, pricing out the parts for this myself would have cost a bit more and then Id have to deal with a 3D printer. Retroflags case is easy to set up and get to playing. Install only took a few minutes (not including OS setup) and I easily set it up to appear as a network folder over wifi so I can drag and drop new games onto it on the fly. Love it! Just know that the device is limited by the Pi ZeroW itself, and while you can play 8bit and most 16bit games without issue it will really struggle on render intensive titles like the original Star Fox or other RARE games on SNES.

Excellent case and very much having the feel of the original Gameboy both in size and weight. Authentic experience with the batteries, cartridge and screen brightness and volume controls. Be sure to download a made for this case image onto your SDCard as setup of retropie from the official source can be challenging. Highly recommend.

I love this thing! Came when it was supposed to come and everything I expected!

I love this device, and while I wish it had rechargeable batteries (even if it cost more), my only issue is the cartridge for the Rpi Zero. Its a bit loose, so sometimes the signal gets fuzzy on the screen. My workaround is sticking a piece of tape near the front-bottom of the cart to help keep the contacts flush. I just wish they made the cart more secure when in place.

First off, I highly recommend the Lakka linux distrobution build for the GPI case; as it is designed from the ground up to operate off the device. The cores (emulators) are pre-installed, and the buttons pre-mapped based on the case hardware. If you wish, the Lakka OS can also be linked to RetroAchievements for more of a modern; console style experience. The case works great, with minimal setup. Ive thoroughly enjoyed being able to swap out the cartridge-style pi0 between different retro-flag bases, having one at home and another at work. The pinout will even seat old DMG style game-boy cartridges, although the GPI base by itself cannot natively play them. Id recommend rechargeable batteries if you want a truly portable build, however the device does come with a USB power adapter cable included. It would be great to see additional case styles in the future, particularly the GBA (flat)

Perfect case for a ready to go emulator. Everything is “almost” plug and play, you need 2 scripts from the retroflag site and you’re golden. Like everything, this is a great consumer product, but so many parts can be tweaked and updated to make this thing truly yours.

Okay, so first off the quality of this product is top-notch! Its a great little machine that if configured correctly it will blow your mind with its quality. HOWEVER, the key here is to configure it correctly. And IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH RETRO PI & THE RASPBERRY PI FAMILY, then this product may not be for you. Simply because there is quite a bit of setting up and configuring to do. There are some work around solutions however, all of this does include download software that you may not be familiar with. IF YOU DONT CONFIGURE THIS CORRECTLY THEN THIS NEAT LITTLE MACHINE WILL BE JUST A USELESS PAPERWEIGHT. I will praise RetroFlag for this Gpi Case system, but I give them low marks on their instructions. They really need to step up there game on supplying software support. I suggest throwing their crappy instructions away and research online: best ways to setup Retroflag gpi. A few good websites I have found is howchoo.com and stevecombs.com. Both have very good step by step tutorials. Oh, and watch out for accidently downloading copy-protected software from some dodgy site. We wouldnt want to do that! And its probably a good idea to use a VPN. Happy gaming!

The build quality and screen are better than I was expecting. Original Game Boy and Game Boy Color games look better on here than the originals but it plays just like I remember. It can handle a ton of other systems as well, unfortunately due to using a Pi Zero it has trouble with anything beyond SNES games and even those sometimes have trouble.
