Best review of this case I've seen on KZbin. Here's a tip - if you want more stable performance in PS1 games, use PAL (Europe) roms which run at 25FPS, which is about what the pi zero can do consistently. Also they don't have the black bars on the top and bottom in Spyro and Crash Bandicoot games.

I always enjoy your longer videos! Keep up the hard work.

[@8-Bit_Flashback]

Thanks man I appreciate the support. The decals showed up today I'll be making quick video about that later this week. Thanks again man!

[@DesignedDNA]

@@8-Bit_Flashback all good man, I really appreciate it. Once I get caught up on some things. We'll work together on something :)

[@8-Bit_Flashback]

@@DesignedDNA Sounds awesome

[@8-Bit_Flashback]

Just an FYI: A buddy of mine Jon Dagnillo stated this pertaining to the micro usb port on GPI case: "Just so you know you CAN use the micro USB on the back for a keyboard, etc. but you have to use an OTG hub to power the Pi through that port. Then you will be able to use a keyboard but the gamepad on the GPi will be disabled"

My rpi0/w 2022 version has standoffs for assembly both boards together before screwing case together😎 Love it😊

[@MaseratiMC12R]

Is there an updated link to download the premade image? It seems to have been removed

[@Kev1210rose]

Great video! Thanks for the shout out but i didn't create the splash screen!

[@8-Bit_Flashback]

Do you know who did?

[@Kev1210rose]

Sadly not I'm afraid. I've had it for a while and just shared my upload of it.

[@juanamaro1802]

Cool 😎👍 👌👏

[@GradientGhoul]

The link for the splashscreen is not working anymore and i cant find the splashscreen anywhere.... i really want it... could you upload it and link it again please?

[@crzymktrdrebel]

I have Atari 800 5200 ROMs will they work?

[@basketballsteve54]

Is the premade image configured to allow play of Atari 800 and Atari 5200 games

[@romanknight9074]

Is resident evil playable???

[@anthonyjulson8840]

How does this compare in size to the Gameboy color?

[@shammytheloser]

would a zero w lag with pokemon ruby?

[@gottopaintthemall6211]

When I put the sd card in to my computer, I can’t find in the boot where to add roms too? Don’t have WiFi but I have roms on my pc but I just don’t know where to add them on the sd card

[@flip_flop_farmer]

i have 2 questions How? do you get game box covers ect downloaded to the unit wifi without a keyboard ... and how do you get the playstation controls to work the psx emulator doesn't recognize it

[@timoheinsohn3332]

Hello! someone know where i can download the new firmware from gpi case? Thanks

[@disposablebasterd]

The d pad on the game boy was the same with the wiggle.

[@TritonGamezYT]

Any tips. I downloaded pcsx reARMed but now the buttons don't seem to work? For the emulater

[@8-Bit_Flashback]

Super retropie on facebook has a really nice preconfigured image that works well with playstation.

[@TritonGamezYT]

@@8-Bit_Flashback oh. Ok thanks!

[@MasterMojo85]

But can it run Crysis?

[@lovelorn88nick]

I HIGHLY recommend everyone get a set of Eneloop batteries with the charger.

[@lovelorn88nick]

Good to know I'm not the only one that had issues with ps1. Kept freezing up on me at emulation station. For right now I'm using the older super retropie image that doesnt have the ps1 controls configured

[@SinisterSpatula]

There's a fix that I think might help with that issue, if you have a spare SD card, burn the latest SR image, do a controls_menu_update on it, and try it out. See if it works better for you.

[@SolidSoto]

yea i have same issue. when i exit out after playing a psx game and start a different psx game. the system blacks out. def a bug.

[@MisterTipp]

Is there any controller delay?

[@8-Bit_Flashback]

nothing noticable

[@b.o.353]

PAC-Man and Mortal Kombat are what I’d be playing so that’s too bad about the d-pad.

[@8-Bit_Flashback]

Its still playable just have to expect missing some of the combos once and a while

[@workingmanbh]

a modder called akumamods replaced the d-pad with the one from the game boy pocket, which worked very well !

[@bENOFFICIALMASSIVE]

Seen the Zelda Links Awakening Collectors Edition coming out? Its a OG GB steelbook. Be crazy to use it in a project... ;D Doooooooooooooit!!!!!!!!!

[@8-Bit_Flashback]

agreed!

[@SinisterSpatula]

Thanks for making a great video! Lots of great info. I hope everyone who wants one is able to get one when they release again this month. I heard July 8th is a possible release, but have also heard mid-july and end-july also.

[@8-Bit_Flashback]

Thanks man

[@CygnusTM]

Why do so many people pronounce this as GEE PEE EYE? Doesn't GEE PIE make a lot more sense?

[@8-Bit_Flashback]

the problem is the company that makes these "retroflag" don't make videos taking about the case so we don't even know how the creators pronounce it.

[@CygnusTM]

@@8-Bit_Flashback Isn't it obvious though? It's a Raspberry Pi (PIE) case.

[@8-Bit_Flashback]

@@CygnusTM well you can email the retroflag company and ask them. And then we'll all know for sure

[@8-Bit_Flashback]

Well I would assume that the G stands for Gameboy but obviously they can't name it Game Boy and Pi is probably for raspberry pi so if anything GPI stands for Gameboy Pi case. G Pi case sounds just as weird as GPI case

[@Piimp]

I was saying Gee Pee Eye all the time, then I heard it called Gee Pie and it blew my mind. That made so much sense.

[@liammaratty3106]

dam imagine if minecraft played on this

[@Rick_Todd]

Pros ' The worlds greatest RPi case ever made , Cons ' The worlds most least powerful RPi Zero.

[@twicethemegapower3995]

The RPi0 uses 6w compared to the 12w+ of the full size RPis. You would get less than an hour of battery life if a 1-4 model RPi was used with 3 AA batteries

[@Rick_Todd]

@@twicethemegapower3995 lol ' You really think people (Retroflag) would power Raspberry Pi 3's with 3 AA's .

[@anticalgary]

You’re

[@8-Bit_Flashback]

Hmmm I don't know what you are talking about?...………………...lol
