    This product comes in the following configurations:

    • Case Only (Raspberry Pi Case)
      • Only contains the RETROFLAG GPi case. You must supply your own Raspberry Pi, SD card, and RetroPie installation.
    • Prebuilt
      • The RETROFLAG GPi case comes pre-assembled with a Raspbery Pi Zero W and a 32GB microSD card with RetroPie installed

    Play retro games on the go with the Retroflag GPi case which is based on the classic Gameboy DMG design. Measuring at 135*81*32mm, it is a little smaller and a little lighter at 178g. It is the perfect size and more comfortable to hold for extended periods of time than other handhelds. It is powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero W for the best speed vs size performance for retro gaming on Raspberry Pi.

    The display is a 2.8 inch 320×240 backlit LCD which is ideal for retro gaming. The GPi display is large, bright and colourful. And, unlike the original Gameboy you do not have to sit under a light to see the screen! It is the ideal retro console with games!

    There is a great D-Pad and four gaming buttons (as well as Start and Select) on the front of the case, and located on the back are two shoulder buttons. This gives the best compatibility with a range of classic gaming systems while not detracting from the case design of the retro games handheld.

    Keeping with tradition the GPi case is powered by three AAA batteries, or you can use the supplied USB cable with your mobile charger or a phone power bank.

    The Retroflag GPi retro gaming handheld can run compatible Micro SD Card images such as RetroPie with games, Lakka & Recalbox builds (all 3 are compared here).The RetroPie runs systems from the 70’s up to the 2000’s.

    Please note that some systems are not fully supported and as such some games may not run at full performance. These may be improved in future updates to the software.

    Most excellent

    I had a spare raspberry pi zero lying around so put it in this case and used Recalbox which is dead easy to install and use and then used Paragon for Windows to put games on it instead of connecting via SSH across wifi. An excellent piece of kit

    Great little project !

    I was a bit dubious about grabbing this as a refurbished item but there was no difference than if it had been brand new :)

    Installation of the Pi Zero was really easy just clip it and and screw the case back together. Downloaded a full build from Arcade Punks which had all of the button mapping and other scripts.

    Found an old GBA d-pad joystick which fits perfectly on top of the dpad and improves movement but that's just a personal thing.

    Only miss I feel on the part of the manufacturer was using AA batteries so going to look at a lipo mod.

    All in all a great partial DIY handheld.

    GPI Case , cracking little raspery pi zero addon

    After watching and reading most of the reviews of this case , i still wasn't prepared for just how good this little case is. The screen is incredibly clear, the speaker surprisingly good and the controsl so far are fautless. get your Pi Zero or Zero W reday with an image, gety soem AA batteries and enjoy the retro fun.
    I purchased from DroiX as i have purchased other devices in the past and never been let down with speed of delivery and the helpful forums.

    Great little handheld

    Spot on. Went for the fully loaded version and i am not disappointed. Has the shutdown script already loaded plus lots of games. I could of built one myself but the pi zero w is not available anywhere at the moment and i wanted something to take the boredom out of this lockdown. Really impressed. Thanks Droix.
