GameShell Retro Game Console
-
My friend sent me a link to this new Kickstarter. I am quite excited about it!
It's a modular and portable gaming console that seems to have a proprietary SoC board. It runs a version of RetroArch, just like RetroPie.
My only gripe right now is it supports a limited number of buttons, D-Pad, 4 face buttons and start and select. It does not natively support L+R shoulder buttons...for now. But, it's modular so that may change one day. If one was clever enough, you could wire in your own boards from Adafruit, since I assume it should recognize the additional buttons being based on RetroArch.

@piboy yet another cheap Chinese soc Kickstarter...
They conveniently fail to mention the software if any that's included, or if it's just hardware.

They did mention it, herb, on their website.
from ClockworkPi.com
Introduce you the clockwork OS,
with built-in applications from classic games to programming languages.
Also you can use your favorite OS, from Debian ARM to Raspbian OSSo it seems possible that you could install a different operating system on it, including RetroPie.

Powered by a Quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU, 512 MB Memory, Mali GPU, and Wi-Fi onboard
So it's a custom OrangePi Zero (cost $6.99)
with a Wifi module...
Edit: The OPZero already has Wifi.
