I have a Rpi4 with Argon Neo metal case (passive cooling) and i never had an overheating so far, even with the most demanding emulator (Yabashansiro). I don't use shaders or overclocking that increase signifally the temperature.
I had and a Pi400, temperatures here are lower with the same conditions.

@zerojay I thought I had seen that somewhere but couldn't find it. Thanks for the clarification.

@fretman - Yeah no problem, good luck with everything. It’s a fun project! :)

Thanks @mitu, my mistake here, I have used the script from Retroflag page, maybe a old script.
This one, https://github.com/crcerror/retroflag-picase from the developer is working well.

But I'll return to 4.4 anyway, 4.5 is showing the undervoltage message randomly, and SF3ii/iii is more slower even overclocked, 4.4 is ok to me. (RP2b, 3.0A)

@thelostsoul Wow I was thinking exactly about that...
Thanks about that!

I'll post updates here as soon as I have something ;)

@SgtJimmyRustles Yes of course. The restart is the default option but if you change the python script intead of

os.system(scriptDir + "/recalbox_SafeShutdown.sh --restart")

You set the --kodi switch ;)
I recently build a small media center with the BATOCERA system and I would like to play some games and want a Media center. So it's a small gift to myself ;)

@catsenti you're welcome just make sure to get the right version of the case based on which model of pi you have.

@almulder Yeah, its working now. @cyperghost found a fix for the 3B+.

@jabberwock101

i have a megapi case and can definitly reccomend it somthing to keep in mind before you splash out cash for a setup with one is when it comes to cooling the pi is mounted upside down in the case and unless you have a really low profile heatsink trying to fit a fan isnt possible as it will hit the heatsink when fitting....my friend found that one out the hard way :P

personally i think you can get away without a fan as my setup does not have one and ive yet to recieve any thermal throttling/heat warnings and i use my system for all sorts of things and it certanly didnt complain when it was compiling code for almost 2 hours non stop

As promised the final production model is here (and available for pre-order) so I can now show the internals and how a Pi would fit...

More details in the link but here are some photos.

I have some heatsink grease if they don't come with the right kind of heat transfer tape, I would just have to find a way to fix them in place if I go the grease option.

I've also created a bash script that makes use of the multi_switch.sh
So the script hast to be placed alongside the Python code to work.

I haven't changed installer... so the best way is to install the original script and then to use the changed python code from my repo and place the bash script alongside the python script.

@Drakaen391 you can use this method ;)

To install use this:

Login with SSH Got to installed directory with cd /opt/RetroFlag download the multi_switch script with sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/ES-generic-shutdown/master/multi_switch.sh Make script executable sudo chmod +x multi_switch.sh Remove old script with sudo rm SafeShutdown.py Get new script with sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/retroflag-picase/master/SafeShutdown.py

@classicgmr Thank you for your post, I did read somewhere that all 3B+ Pi's can fit in all 3B cases. I think I got to take this in mind when purchasing a 3B+ with a case.

Dreamcast and other consoles had replacement shells available, both official and 3rd party. Might be a good place to look and they would have loads of room for things like drives or multiple pis. I know its probably off topic for this threat, but I can definitely see some possibilities in them.
