GameShell, Open Source Portable Game Console, Modular DIY Kit, Ideal for Indie Game Developers, Hackers and Retro Games Collectors (Yellow)

How is this product being sold for 150+ dollars is beyond me. It is literally not functional, I miss the days when companies could not get away with selling any dysfunctional garbage. The software rarely works no matter what you try, the build is filled with design flaws, screen tearing is horrible, and customer support means digging for hours into forums. Just stay away, and look for alternatives, much better alternatives.

Good:Easy to assembleSturdy shapeGreatly hackableNeutral:Triangular subpixel arrangement causes vertical lines to zigzag.Plastic is not scratch resistant.Bad:Top of the back piece cannot touch the front piece tight.No easy way to connect to open or WPA2 enterprise Wi-Fi.You need to dig into the code to figure out how something works.Hints:The device used dwm as window manager. The launcher is written in python with pygame. The menu is generated based on some directory structure. The launcher starts from ~/launcher/sys.py/run.py.

wifi not working perfectly.lcd screen to small,you can't play more than 5 minutes.because after play yours eyes tired.you can set up so easy,its take 15 minitues

El sistema es algo inestable, la pantalla algo pequeña... No es para aficionados.

Excellent build quality, highly hackable but user friendly at the same time

awesome service; i scuffed up a piece during assembly and received a replacement piece quickly and free of charge! such a fantastic product

The instructions were Ikea-style graphics, which made it a little complicated.

Very cool project (got it on KickStarter). I have the yellow one. Runs well and supports lots of stuff as the specs are very good.However some issues that make it "not" 5-star. Just make sure you understand these issues and you will be happy what you got.#1 No heatsink and the CPU/GPU get very hot + its covered by thick plastic so there is no way for heat to escape. I have never seen such a poor design when it comes to this area of an ARM device for which I have many. This needs to be re-designed otherwise you may want to modify the case and put on a thin copper heatsink.#2 The device didn't power on after everything was put together. Turns out you have to hit a reset switch on the device the first time you power it on then its fine after that.#3 The physical molecularity of the device is pointless and should never have been a focus. It just caused flaws in the design... like no heatsink.
