i want to love it in Computer Components

I received my GPi CASE a few days ago and the packaging was very wrinkled. But it's just a box. When you open it, everything seems fine. I assembled it but I only have 3 screws to attach the plastic case which I think causes the following problems. I downloaded Retropie and installed the patches. I also ported some roms since I'm using an RPi Zero (no W). There doesn't seem to be an easy way to safely shut down the RPi Zero since there is no network connection. So I put the SD card in the slot…

They are great I mean top quality and i really like the sega md case its perfect now i move on to the gpi case it is a disaster i am ordering three of these and as you know as this item was brand new it has not been checked before you bought it but I trusted Retroflag as the other things were top notch Paired with 8Bitdo products somewhere!

Broken speaker sound SD card cover missing

I really hope to update and change this to 5 later. I've built quite a few systems in NESPi, SUPERPi and MEGAPi cases and was really looking forward to my GPi. Upon unboxing I noticed that the SD card slot cover is missing, not a big deal but the first hit. During assembly, one of the screws holding the Pi 0 broke with little or no tightening. I tightened the other 3 with no problems. Now the screw is stuck there and even if I go to the hardware store and find a replacement I can't use it. 2nd…

Constant crashes/freezes/screen glitches.

***Update 08/20/19*** After much searching and troubleshooting I had to switch to another computer to burn SD cards for zero pi in a GPi case. My main desktop must have misspelled maps, which is what caused most of the freezing issues. It still happens occasionally, but I don't think it's the GPi case itself at the moment. Although the case seems sensitive to a very good connection between the Pi Zero and the case. There are several possible points of failure that should ideally be connected…

Pros
  • computer case
Cons
  • are weak

Great performance, but not perfect. Still highly recommended!

TL;DR: Still great value even after all the few drops. We recommend. If you still want the best experience: get an original system with original games or a flash card like EverDrive.

The plastic feels great. Has a nice weight. The area of the cartridge (where the RPI…
