Review on Retroflag Raspberry Superpi Shutdown Version Computer Components by David Lesperance

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The ultimate SNES-inspired RetroPie case.

I have 3 RetroFlag NESPi+ cases, MegaPi and SuperPi. These cases do not disappoint. As cases they are as good as most other cases, although the Argon One is the best "regular" case in my opinion. When you pair these cases with RetroPie and play classic games on your build, they really feel nostalgic. All three look great! The SuperPi even comes with a fake cartridge held by magnets and rounds off the appearance of the system. I paired mine with an 8BitDo SNES bluetooth controller and as you can see it fits so well! Safe Shutdown is exactly what you need for any Pi setup, but I have to knock out a quality star just because RetroFlag didn't write its scripts right and they don't usually work properly. This works much better: https://github.com/crcerror/ES-generic-shutdown. I would recommend that you add a small fan and connect it to a 5.1V/3A power supply, but this is not required. Mine has never overheated, but I'm not taking any chances. :)

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some bugs
