Overview

Your portable retrogaming console

This retrogaming case has the look of the famous Nintendo Game Boy. The PiBoy DMG from ExperimentalPi features a 3.5" LCD screen and a Lipo battery to get the same gaming experience as in the old days. It is compatible with Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+/4B boards and will emulate many consoles.

Inspired by the Game Boy

The PiBoy DMG is not a typical retro game console. It uses the Raspberry Pi's DPI mode to allow games to run at up to 60 frames per second without affecting RPI performance. It includes a precise D-pad, an analogue joystick and dedicated buttons for selection and startup. PiBoy DMG fully manages the Raspberry Pi 4 or Pi 3 with active cooling and safe shutdowns. Built-in menus and tests make configuration easy.

The PiBoy DMG kit comes partially assembled. Simply add the Raspberry Pi of your choice and its adapter. Easy to assemble and configure for a beginner, no soldering required.

Main features:

  • Easy to assemble, Gameboy looking console powered by a Raspberry Pi
  • Pi 3B, Pi 3B+ and Pi 4B compatible
  • Able to emulate recent consoles such as N64, PSP and Dreamcast (Pi 4B only)

    Good, but there were a number of minor disappointments.

    The product is carefully prepared in parts. You need to go to the official website to get the YouTube video of the assembly. Assembly must be meticulous and precise. I only managed to do this on the 2nd attempt (1st attempt: black screen).

    The mini-screwdriver supplied is of poor quality: its coarse thread slips in the screws that should enable the final closure (those that are the most delicate and close the plastic case). I had to buy a mini Phillips screwdriver to complete the screwing!

    The fan was noisy and, thinking it was rubbing on the plastic of the case, I accidentally broke it when I tried to move it. In the end, I removed it completely. It's not essential with a Raspberry Pi 3B+, which doesn't heat up that much.

    It still feels quite thick in the hand, and you can feel the fatigue after a few hours of continuous play.

    The battery capacity is slightly below my expectations, but it's still decent.

    After a few days of use, I'm starting to have an annoying problem with the analogue joystick, which sometimes moves to the right or left without any action on my part... I'm waiting to see what the manufacturer has to say about this.

    To be seen over time...
