Retroflag PiStation Case: Turn a Pi 4 Into a Tiny Playstation!

[@wermy]

I usually don't bother with review-type videos, but what do you guys think? More of these in between projects and tutorials? 🤔

[@mickdunn5532]

not here in england yet but hopefully well be soon, as i want to get the case with screen look good, nice video.

[@AlistairBrugsch]

The odd review here and there would be good, just don't turn into ETA and be "reviewing" every tiny product that gets sent to you... 😉

[@border056]

@@AlistairBrugsch What's up guys, this is ETA prime here. Today I'm going to review yet another product that was sent to me for free. This is the best product on the market that you can get today.... That's only because other people wouldn't send me their stuff for free so I won't say anything good about them.

[@tapetraining]

This review was really good! Excellent video!

[@hmmtaco9739]

Totally

[@ChadWSmith]

This is great. I need this. Only thing it is missing is a battery! :D

[@rivera82falcon]

Not bad looking. Clean, easy to install, and very compact. A great option for those that want more than a PS Classic and not needing to mod anything either makes it an easy choice. Yes, you can 3d print one but will you actually do it? More than likely no.

[@billydelacey]

I've already got about 400 games on my modded PlayStation Classic, but I still really want to put one of these together.

[@RisingRevengeance]

I find it a bit odd that they didn't just copy the slim if they wanted to add a screen. Would've been really cool and unique to see a miniature of that.

[@37Kilo2]

I've got a couple RetroPi cases. I was really surprised by the quality of the Genesis case, given the price, and that it was from (at the time) an unknown company.

[@cru2006]

you literally have the coolest channel

[@adriancortinas7676]

This is the best idea that anyone has ever made believe me I have the key to making a playstation classic thank for telling and for showing this it looks awesome.

[@SDLearmonth]

I feel like they really missed an opportunity to make a mini "Psone" style case with the flip up screen

[@714SNF]

thx for the video. what carry case is that?

[@wermy]

It's by a company called PDP, bought it a couple years ago on amazon. Looks like it's unavailable now but the listing is still there if you search "PDP SNES classic case," you might be able to find it on ebay or something.

[@714SNF]

@@wermy thanks so much! do you think think the pistation w/ lcd will also fit into the sega/nes mini case?

[@INCSlayer]

was that a keychron K3 keyboard i see at 4:30?

[@wermy]

K1. I have a K6 as well; great keyboards. :)

[@remiilatte]

@@wermy is it the K1V4? Where did you get those key caps from? I haven’t been able to find any other than their oem grey ones :(

[@wermy]

Here you go: nuphy.com/products/nutype-f1-keycap-set

[@remiilatte]

@@wermy oh I didn’t know the nuphy key caps fit. Thanks!

[@AfroMyrdal]

Woah super cool! And not to mention affordable, I was surprised by the price actually.

[@wermy]

Yeah it's really not bad! I didn't want to mention it directly in the video though in case it changes.

[@guybehindacamera]

Link from where you got the travel case from?

[@MrStudioso]

Nice review, nice case. Right now its 30$ so a great deal. Would be nice if it had a place for a battery, especially if u have the screen already mounted on it. Super portable

[@Skultra007]

Should make a updated version on this by using a overclocked pi 5 it runs Ps 1 games like butter

[@blackspnyx]

What's the storage case you use?

[@Bee_Star33]

Thank you for doing a size comparison with the PS Classic.

[@NuarStanger]

Whoa..whoa..whoa..... what is that case you use around the 4 minute mark?! I want it!!

[@wermy]

It's by a company called PDP, bought it a couple years ago on amazon. Looks like it's unavailable now but the listing is still there if you search "PDP SNES classic case," you might be able to find it on ebay or something.

[@NuarStanger]

Awesome! Thank you for the info!

[@charlessmalley651]

Hey, still looking for mintypi parts, and idea when they will be back in stock?

[@wermy]

I heard from helder a couple weeks ago that he may have some news on that front soon. 🙂

[@charlessmalley651]

@@wermy cool, thanks 🙂

[@victormercado5112]

Great. Video dude

[@tonycstech]

Question. Cant upscale PS1 games, can you ? Like: forget about filters and other plugins that make it look great, right ?

[@leechurchill5182]

Wish i could buy the stickers from the lid to match the original console.

[@Warezzfan]

So the USB3.0 ports get blocked inside the case?

[@dmlavigne]

No, there is an access port on the side you can remove to access the two unused USB 3.0 ports and the RJ-45 Ethernet port. Very nice review!!

[@Warezzfan]

@@dmlavigne I just bought the case to try it myself and found the ports. I now use it watch 60s low res cartoons like flintstones and jetsons, didn't tried gaming yet

[@thomasallen9189]

What kind of battery bank did you use to power this?

[@shenmue5765]

Good review. Thanks!

[@jean-baptiste9058]

Hello, Good Video ^^ What's the storage case you use? Please ^^

[@abdallahkilani5237]

Hi, Can I use a raspberry pi 3 b+ on this?

[@dmlavigne]

No, the footprint and Full HDMI port on the pi 3 b+ will not work in this case.

[@RetroPlayRTP]

Perfect Case Wonderful🥰

[@jojobobbubble5688]

Looks pretty sweet!

[@714SNF]

were you running dreamcast on recalbox? mine has slowdowns :(

[@Cinnamoroll_Chloe]

Great video. This might have won me over.

[@ericjohnson305]

Any idea if a standard Pi4 USB-C power supply (5.1V 3A) will be enough to power the Pi and the screen?

[@mugsy5672]

Other videos says it will . I've also seen a video where they power it off of a 10000 MAH battery pack

[@bethanjenkins2257]

Can you make a handheld with the pie 4

[@ElricSowrd]

Awesome. I've never heard of Mini HDMI. And who wouldn't use the Safe Shut Down?

[@wermy]

If you can’t (or are too lazy to) get the software setup, then it’s a nice fallback to have I guess. Options are good. :)

[@ElricSowrd]

@@wermy Okay.

[@mickdunn5532]

how did you get full screen i cant for the life of me get full screen.....helllp ...please

[@declangallagher1448]

Right in their market? You created their market lol

[@BenjaminTerpstra]

Thats sweet man!

[@llewellyn56]

awesome

[@JD-op6vn]

The screen is very small imo

[@gilliancollins5987]

WOW

[@AlistairBrugsch]

"waiting for code to compile" heh... You know the only acceptable activity while waiting for code to compile is to have play sword fights on office chairs... #apropriateXKCD

[@AlistairBrugsch]

"Are you playing retro games again?" Wermy- "Compiling!" "Oh. Carry on"

[@pablom12345687]

Warhamer 40k fan?

[@wermy]

Yep! Don’t get to play nearly as often as id like though.

[@egg9758]

put raspberry pi 4 in a mintypi

[@Outta_Orbitt]

Yo sick!

[@FerHivore]

I love your videos and want to respectfully recommend a pop filter for your mic. 🙂

[@wermy]

A wobbly mic stand was the culprit this time. :) I will get it sorted next time.

[@m2pt5]

It's 8-bit-doh, it has the same cadence as Nintendo.

[@wermy]

Oh man, I can’t believe I didn’t catch that. 😅 thanks!

[@jasongooden917]

According to the company It's eight-bit-DOO... NOT dough
