      Hi all!

      Over a year ago, I built a portable Retropie console around a 5 inch screen, an 8bitdo Zero Bluetooth controller and a RPi 3B (can be found on Thingiverse with build instructions).

      Now, I've "upgraded" it with a RPi 3A+. It is 5mm thinner then the 3B and In my experience delivers the same performance with retropie.

      Here are some pictures showing the final thing:
