It’s a case for a raspberry pi zero 2. It’s the retroflag GPI case.

It runs full Linux/retropie that you have to install and set up. You have to get the pi/sd card/batteries yourself. But i prefer it to the cheap TikTok ones. The support is really good and they’ve sent me spare parts

The new version can use a dock for your TV

Is it powerful enough to use the more complex GB shaders in retropie?

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I’m guessing yeah, unless they’re more costly than the PS1 because it can handle that well. I just haven’t messed with shaders much. I found this green one and kinda stuck with it. I need to do more exploring with it because I’ve had it for about 4 years now. I originally had a pi zero 1W in it, but I upgraded when the 2 came out.

I think the newest version of the case can take the pi compute module so you might have even more power with that
