Pocket PiGRRL: is that an emulator in your pocket?

Last year we went into full retronerd dribble mode over the PiGRRL, a Pi-powered Gameboy. Our friends at Adafruit have brought the project up to date with the Pocket PiGRRL. It has a 3D printed case and uses the smaller Raspberry model A+ plus a 2.4″ PiTFT HAT to bring the size down. Emulation is handled by RetroPie.

Adafruit say that "it's easier than our previous PiGRRL build" and the use of components such as the amplifier and charger means that it's suitable for a confident beginner—at the very least you'll earn your soldering skills badge.
