    Best review of this case I've seen on KZread. Here's a tip - if you want more stable performance in PS1 games, use PAL (Europe) roms which run at 25FPS, which is about what the pi zero can do consistently. Also they don't have the black bars on the top and bottom in Spyro and Crash Bandicoot games.

    Just an FYI: A buddy of mine Jon Dagnillo stated this pertaining to the micro usb port on GPI case: "Just so you know you CAN use the micro USB on the back for a keyboard, etc. but you have to use an OTG hub to power the Pi through that port. Then you will be able to use a keyboard but the gamepad on the GPi will be disabled"

    There's a fix that I think might help with that issue, if you have a spare SD card, burn the latest SR image, do a controls_menu_update on it, and try it out. See if it works better for you.

    Well I would assume that the G stands for Gameboy but obviously they can't name it Game Boy and Pi is probably for raspberry pi so if anything GPI stands for Gameboy Pi case. G Pi case sounds just as weird as GPI case
