Review on GamePi43 Accessories: Portable Retro Video Game Console with 800×480 4.3inch IPS Display - Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 B+/3B/2B/B+ by Mario Madden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy installation but look here if you need to customize your buttons

As expected this case/piss cap is pretty cool for the amount paid. I wish it came with a joystick or other triggers, but other than that it works as advertised. I will say that if you buy this item you should be prepared to do some research as no instructions are included. Luckily, I'm a techie and a Google wizard. I managed to figure out how to set up the GPIO buttons on the Pi-Hat. For your Raspberry Pi 3 you need to edit this file called recalbox.conf which is on your SD card. Then find the line that says controllers.gpio.enabled=0 and change 0 to 1. Then restart it and go to the Recalbox controller settings and map the button layout. After I did that, everything worked perfectly.

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
