Retroflag update SUPERpi cases with faux cartridge slots + GIVE-AWAY!

*Limited time remaining*

Retroflag
have updated their SUPERpi line of Raspberry Pi cases with magnetic cartridges that sit on top of the unit and can house spare micro SD cards. The cartridges don't bring any real functionality nor are there any other updates to the cases, meaning unfortunately, this line of cases are not yet compatible with the newly released Raspberry Pi 4. However, the cartridges add a fun little flair to an already great line of cases and can even be decorated with included Super Mario Kart inspired stickers!

You can check out our review of the Retroflag line of Raspberry Pi cases here.

I'm pretty sure someone could do some creative stuff with the case alone (as in, not necessarily used for SNES emulation). The magnetic cartridge sounds interesting though, you could definitely jerry-rig a magnet sensor to it somehow and have the screen show an effect and unlock stuff.

As for the SNES controller, I wonder if you could play Mario Maker with it. The Wii remote's DPAD is just too small.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I thought about that and I have blank DVD's and Blurays but honestly after like 90 songs I just listen to it a couple of hundred times toss it out and burn something else or have like 2-3 CD's. Florida here the heat in the car tends to ruin the CD's after like a few months even commercial pressed ones don't last too long.
