OK, I'm not really big on the emulation scene (I mostly play PC games and most of the ones I play don't need emulation...), but this enclosure for a Pi 0 with screen and buttons ...

This is adorable.

I don't have a use for it, but I want one.

Mind you, this would be a totally impractical purchase. I don't play any games that would be fun to play on such a small screen, and without access to a mouse.

I could add a mouse, easily, but it would be bigger than the enclosure itself so that would be kind of silly.

Apparently there's a company selling an SD card preloaded with RetroPie and "8000+ Retro Games" but the art in the single image they have to promote their product makes me dubious they have the legal rights to distribute this content.

I mean, RetroPie is open source, that's fine, but a lot of the games in the cover art are licensed IPs, some of which are now owned by Disney.

I have my doubts as to the legality here.

@Crash they definitely do not have the rights
