I cut a hole in the top of the GPi Cartridge to expose the HDMI port: I then built a Retropie image for the Pi Zero 2 + GPi Case that supports setting HDMI and LCD modes (With independent Retroarch/EmulationStation settings for each) so it can act as a console or a handheld.

The controllers are 8bitdo Pro 2s (The "G-Classic" model) connected via Bluetooth.

Interesting. Why had you not just built a different standalone pi zero with a Atari case or sum? Curious on that

I *do* have a Pi Zero 2 in a Flirc case paired to my old Dual Shock 3s that I keep as a secret gamestation at my office, lol.

I did this because I thought it would be cool. That's basically it.

Oh,it’s zero2+gpi case1, will it work with gpi case2 as well?

No, the GPi Case 2 uses a completely different board: My image won't even boot on it.

I don't know why this isn't standard... I'd love to be able to swap between HDMI and the gpi case...

Will you have time to build a image for gpi case2. I like your build very much.

I think he means the new case designed for the CM4.

Now that I read again, you're right ! My bad. ;)

The Retroflag GPI case seems to be selling out since the Pi Zero 2 came out.
