Pseudonymous maker “zarcadeuk” is preparing to launch a carrier board for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4) with a difference: It drops directly into the shell of a Sega Game Gear handheld console.
“My idea was to use the Game Gear shell,” zarcadeuk explains of the project, dubbed the Zega Mame Gear II. “There are plenty [of other] devices to choose from, but always loved the aesthetics of the Game Gear. No shell modifications needed. I’ve made it as simple as possible.”
