      Really nice to see that. Child-proof :)

      But still no Super Famicom style moulded case out there...

        @matchaman old school tools (creator of the super kintaro 9000 case) has one coming out in a few weeks. If you are in the market for one be ready because I'm sure they are going to sell out of the initial batch very quickly.

          I really want one of these but I only have 2 RPi boards ... maybe I should buy a 3rd just for the case. ;)

            1. Does the script save meta data?
            2. Did they fix the power issues?

            I have the original which I modified so am curious if they addressed these issues

                  @matchaman I don't think he has an official post or anything but he has mentioned working on one for a while now. Last I heard he said he was shooting for a release date towards the end of this month.

                    @thedatacereal I'm searching for an answer to this as well. I'd buy another case in a heartbeat if the new script fixed the Metadata issue. Just waiting for someone, anyone, to verify.

                      I know I'm waiting for the new Kintaro case, but I already have the Rasptendo which is more than enough for me.

                        @thedatacereal I have found this as a comment on a Youtube video about the Nespi.

                        "Question: Was the power wires upgraded to help prevent low voltage warning.
                        Answer: It has updated, however, didn't fixed
                        By Retroflag Tech Ltd. SELLER on April 11, 2018"

                        This question should be on the Amazon website, but i can't seem to find it. Don't blame me if it actually got fixed. Just reporting.

                        Edit: Just found it. Source : https://www.amazon.com/ask/questions/TxEZFY5OPS4O8Q/

                          According to the video, there is no issue with power/undervoltage using a Canakit PSU.

                          Maybe they are using heavier gauge wire?

                            Another question I have about this case is whether the shutdown is actually a true power off. Doing a safe shutdown is obviously important, but does it lead to power getting cut, or is the Pi in 'sleep' mode?

                              Was hoping for an Ethernet port in the back corner. Otherwise looks nice, but I already have two of the original model NesPi case. Don't need a shutdown script as I know to shut down safely.

                                    @thedatacereal I couldn't find an answer anywhere so I asked the seller. They replied with "what's Metadata"? So I bit the bullet and got one because I had to know and no, Metadata is still not saved. Can't answer the low power question as I have not yet hit that issue.

                                      @vaca2097 Yea their customer support isnt very good. I bought the original nespi case, had voltage issues and sent in a complaint and asked what they could do for me. Their response was "how can I help you?". Literally just that...

                                        The only thing keeping me from buying one of these is "RETROFLAG FOR ALL OF US" printed across the front... I know it's petty, but I'm a perfectionist when it comes to finished detail on a product/build.

                                        If it just said ...
                                        "NESPi +
                                        Entertainment System"
                                        I'd own 5 of these by now.
