      As I’m a moron, I didn’t research the NesPi case before buying and, surprise, surprise, I’m getting the ‘low power’ warning in Retropie (with even the SNES games getting it).

      I checked with Retroflag’s page, and the one I bought seems to look legit, but is this a ‘proper’ one : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B076BJBLZD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_OSwUAbEXJJ5K4

      If it is legit, can I fix by running a 3A supply (running 2.5 currently)?

        @hoodle The wires inside the nespi case are pretty thin. I do get the low power warning with mine sometimes, but mostly fixed that by using a 3A supply. Still get it once in a while when loading movies in KODI. The only way to fix it is to rewire the case with thicker cables.
