Coming: Retroflag GPi Gameboy Case for Raspberry Pi Zero/W
-
-
Cool! I wonder how much it will cost. Doesn't really matter. I'm sold on another Pi project... :-)
-
I think it will be quite expensive. around 100 gbp or thereabouts. There's an odroid go knocking about that sells for 40, but that's a lot lower spec than what this will be capable of. It would need to be in the region of about 40 quid, and then you've got the price of the zero on top of that.
-
My guess is it will be around $50. Their pi cases are $25-30 so I don't think the extra components in this should add up to more than an extra $25-30. If it is around that price I might have to pick one up.
-
ETA Prime now released a video about this case:
According to him, it's going to be 69.99 USD, not too bad.
-
I’m all in for this. Can’t wait!
-
That's pretty reasonable actually. I'm in!
-
ive got a couple of pi zeroes sat doing nothing so id be happy to get one of these i like how the pi zero is contained int he ejectable cartridge i think thats pretty clever for those with ocd like me they better make cartridges available seperatley sicne i can put a few of my spare zero's to use as single system boards :P
-
Does it have shoulder buttons? I didn't see any but maybe I missed them
-
@simpleethat they are flush on the back below the where the game cartridge goes in. They blend in really good.
-
And here is another video from ETA Prime, this time a teardown:
-
Finally Retroflag themselves now confirm the case:

Finally Retroflag themselves now confirm the case:
It would have been very funny to 'unconfirm' it, after having been advertised so much.
-
this looks exactly like something I have been waiting for. looks great, reviews are good so far. maybe I will finally have my RetroPie handheld :)
I just hope there will be enough supply
-
Has anybody heard a firm release date for this? I saw a mention of the 21st on the reddit post but was wondering if that was confirmed or perhaps another date confirmed.
-
@simpleethat no release date yet. all we know is that it should be available at the end of May
-
@Spiky I guess I just have to start ritualistically checking their Amazon store and Website everyday...
[edited for bad grammar]
-
@simpleethat gonna have to be the only way. Before the scalpers get em and jack the price up.
-
@celly I'm mildly optimistic that it will go similarly to their last couple releases and not sell out in moments.
-
I should have waited. I bought a bittboy instead, and i'm pretty disappointed.
