- The Best Retro Handheld? - GameShell By ClockWork PI
In this video I take a look at the all-new GameShell could this be the best portable retro handheld ever? GameShell is the world's first modular, portable game console with a GNU/LINUX embedded operating system. It allows you to play thousands of classic games from Atari, GB, GBA, NES, SNES and many of history’s greatest consoles.

Great video. I 'ok definitely be looking out for this console.
Great concept in the correct direction.
I received my Game Shell last week and I have had some time to tool around with it. I have had the help of the Clockwork forum and the RetroArch mega thread, but I have always preferred your videos for helping me to set up my different retro devices. I find it much easier to have a video tutorial to follow along with and your tutorials are always great. I would love to see videos for installing a genesis core, a gameboy/gameboy color core, TG-16 core, Neo-Geo Core, and a SNES core.
This is so cool! I love your channel and videos!
This is absolutely fantastic 😍 definitely going to be getting one when they go on sale!
Wow, I really want one of these now! Love the clean look of the Clockwork OS. I'll definitely grab one when they get them in-stock!
This looks amazing, definitely getting one when they're widely available
What an awesome idea! The possibilities with it being modular are almost limitless! I love my Odroid Go! but this is on a different level 😃
That thing is beautiful and sleek. I remember having to make custom large pockets for my lynx.
This looks nice but I don't understand why these handhelds are never horizontally oriented like the GBA. The main system I care about is the SNES and you really want shoulder buttons for that.
haroldjenkinsiii I'm going to go with cost. Its cheaper to do one PCB with all your buttons on one board, as opposed to two PCBs .
the freeplay zero has a GBA board in one piece, but the GBA screen is beyond tiny, I like this form factor a lot, but also would like shoulder buttons, they could've added them at the back or something... It has an add on with more buttons, we'll see in the next video!
Pacoroto have u heard of pigrrl 2? Idk if it's any good tho...
haroldjenkinsiii I definitely agree, this is cute and nostalgic, but the best form factor, more versatile and comfortable, is horizontal as in GBA, NeoGeo Pocket, Canoo, PSP, VITA, etc. Besides that it would make possible up to four shoulder buttons and two analog sticks, also this would allow to use it in the best way for shmups or pinballs when rotating it as in the WonderSwan and PSVita. That would be the perfect handheld!
Pacoroto you CAN add the shoulder buttons to the back, I backed a version with the extra back buttons. Its so cool
That's awesome. Great review.
Best voice ever, dont quit this ! loved every video ! this looks like a great device. and greetings from the Netherlands.
Joost Wasbauer Hoi, jongen
I definitely want one of these. Very awesome video as always. :)
This is a perfect little machine. I've been looking for something like this for so long. I really hope to get my hands on one
I bought an odroid go based on your recommendation and loved it so I'm pretty excited for this to go on sale. I have to make sure I follow you on Twitter...
that is very cool. Looking forward to seeing what other systems it can handle.
thank you for this video! Never heard of this thing but it looks amazing and as soon as its available I sure will get one. :)
I went with the RetroStone after you put that video up. Honestly, I want both that and this one. Hahaha. Hopefully I am just as satisfied with the Retrostone
I'm literally blown away by this set up..... Whoever made this thing is a genius.
SO GLAD I backed this. Oh my god so cool.
This is a really fantastic device. And i need one.
That's pretty awesome. I'm going to have to get my hands on one of those. I'd love to see what it can do.
Really nice looking kit. The modular design is superb, being able to switch out the mainboard for more capability down the line could be very nice.
That's a nice looking product. The website is pretty well done as well.
A really cool game console, I am definitely interested in getting one ☝️ Great review man 👍
I’ve been waiting for you to review this for the longest. Missed their indie campaign, so I’ll have to buy one outright.
Enorme, tres bonne vidéo 😉.
This looks freaking awesome. Finally a more flushed out aio build that comes with everything.
Looks awesome I'd love to get one
Wow this looks lovely
AWESOME, I would like to see gb/gbc and snes games running this device.
I can confirm they all run really well. I've played a lot of difficult GB/GBC roms and on SNES I've played Earthbound and Megaman X without any problems.
@@disruptityourself do you have screen tearing?
I don’t need it...
I don’t need it...
I don’t need it...
I NNNNEEEED IIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!1!!
I like this form factor a lot, but also would like shoulder buttons, they could've added them at the back or something... It has an addon with more buttons, we'll see in the next video!
Also the modular style it's billiant, they could even release another face plate and PCB to add more buttons on the front, but 4 are a-okay to me.
Already released a new pcb with more ram love that you dont need a whole new unit everytime it upgrades its brilliant
By the way. Over on the clockwork forum they just got Pico-8 the fantasy console running on the gameshell. ETA you should totally do a video showing off Pico-8. It fits this device so well and there are so many games!
I will definitely take a look. Do you have Any good games to recommend? I haven’t messed with pico 8 much at all
Celeste, Get Out, Little Dragon Adventure and Mystic Realm Dizzy are good places to start.
Definitely Celeste! But whats great about PICO-8 is that they have a featured games menu, so you can look through all of the top games for the system, right on the main menu!
SO underrated channel! You deserve fame!
This thing looks amazing!
I been waiting you review this, I love the design and modular option that clockwork show it at their campaign, and the UI remind me of old iPod UI simple and easy to use, probably the only downside is there no L or R button but you say there 5 more button add on.
Man I cannot wait for next video also for that add in please test if this can handle PS1.
Bhirawa Maylana it should be able to handle ps1 since the CPU has neon.
ETA... Kick It With The Fam.. We'll Be Here.
Tetris (GB) Love the Channel!
Man... the green back looks amazing... I hope I can buy more color combinations before too long.
That is super awesome I'm super jealous.
What a gorgeous little machine!
oh my god. that's a very beautiful piece of tech
i just order mine, i cant wait
Wow, this looks slick!
I never enter giveaways.. but i'm making an exception for this.. HOW DID I MISS THIS KICKSTARTER?!
It was on Indiegogo, so that might have had something to do with it. ;-)
Same here
what a design, i think they made it with love :)
That is quite a piece of retro happiness!
my only reservation would be comfort - the buttons seem a bit wobbly. Everything else seems perfect. Definitely bookmarking this one.
I love this, I would like to see Supermodel running the Star Wars Trilogy on this, It probably will never happen but I can dream
Option to add more buttons, every part in his own mini case and come with cave story and a clean interface. I have to get one of this, it's beautiful
My next handheld :) i need one eta prime gonna try to get one of the ones your giving away :) i got no chance but hey you got to be in it to win it great video as always.
Id love to see some vids on getting more indie games on this thing
Thanks for the information on this, I just visited the site, & look forward to being contacted for one
If the develop the edition with HDMI-out, it will be a real winner!!!
Waiting for the Gameshell Hack Videos ! I've just received mine!
Looks sick
That look awesome! I have to try get my hands on one. Especially now since Retrostone turned out to be such a disappointment...
I wish I knew this thing sooner.. I am hoping it will be available in future.
Man that thing looks super clean! We need this! My daughter just said she's flipping out right now! Lol!
Very Nice! Is there a way to add a video out cable?
Please upload more videos of the Gameshell. I think many of us are waiting for the console as it's being shipped in January. Please try some SNES games and more Neo Geo ones 🙏👍
It looks beautiful
Yeah.For me it looks like a Original gameboy but with a xbox one s style or something like that
Got one of em they are just great
This would be perfect if it had shoulder buttons and a mini HDMI. This is still really cool though, the possibilities seem endless on this thing.
Curious about how the R and L button for the SNES would function...
They were on Kickstarter... I have one as well... I love the simplistic os menu and the limited color palette...
LOL I always get indiegogo mixed up, backed so much junk on both. LOL
I unfortunately missed out on backing it, so I am excited for you to give away some. Hopefully I can actually win!
Amazing! :O Can you please test VICE C64 emulation in the full video?
Looks good, I did notice some screen tearing though.
Wow there are so many cool linux handhelds that have came out recently, hard for me to pick between this and the rs97 since the linux firmware cameout! How much is this going to cost when it is fully out?
Definitely want to see some SNES games played on this!
Hello ETA PRIME, thanks as always for such quality content. I've bought a Gameshell thanks to you and is becoming one of my favorite handheld ever.
I'm having difficulties with the stock GBA emulator, (MGBA) and I'll gladly watch a video tutorial where you explain how to install different kind of emulators. My dream is to be able to play Final Fantasy VI Advance without that awful sound glitch.
Keep up the good work!
Hey! How much did you buy it for? Thanks!
Subbed maybe do a time lapse video to see how long the battery lasts
I would love one of these with a Neo Geo Pocket Color style stick instead of the D-pad. I know it'd be a bit harder to do but it's so much more satisfying and clicky.
assemble the trigger buttons on camera for us please? this looks so freaking awesome!
After 4 years of waiting to buy one, I FINALLY bought one. It's finally shipped after waiting nearly 4 months for shipping to start. 😭
Wow id love one of these man,im defenetly gonna enter to the giveaway and see if I'll can get one of these it would be a heart warmer :3
Liked this video , im gonna get one
Croud funding success story....
Unheard of.
Looks like a fun little build/handheld.
That's one nice system.🤩
I need this 😍
I'm really wanting one of these... I was considering RasPi boy or RetroStone too... but those prices though... ugh...
Great videos ETA, would you happen to know where I can buy a game shell. Thanx
As you said it's looking like the best gameheld console. Nice minimal menu, bright screen, clear sound. What else do we want?
I have recently purchased a GPD XD Plus and finally finished the setup. I love this device and the modularity though. Think of the upgrade possibilities, this could get more powerful over the years.
But anyway, have you ever played the GPD XD plus? I like the clam shell design better though.
Great video!
the problem with all those devices is that for 240p games they get scaled and you rather play them at the native resolution with square pixels or the image looks washed up, a 320x240 screen gives you native resolution in psone games, n64 games and pretty much everything else , snes is 244p i believe so you lose 4 horizontal pixels, no big deal
It would be nice if someone designed a replacement case with the speaker section on the top. Seems like the bottom mounted design would cause sound to get muffled by your hands.
White Color looks so Good. I want one
Will it turn yellow with age?
I don’t think so.
Emulate old stuff properly or don't emulate it at all. :)
Philip Cooper
Ha. Yeah, it should be a feature.
Does this currently have a way to run SNES & GBA games? (Assuming you add the extra buttons on back)
I’m loving the way this thing looks and the quality, will be on the lookout when its not sold out.
it looks very good. the only thing i dont like about is how the cases is hold together
As long as this can handle some of the CPS3 games (SFIII:3rd Strike) in FBA, then I’m sold.
I would love to see some PS1 and N64 on this unit to see how it stacks up against RPi3 in terms of performance.
I just got the shield TV and I am loving it for retrogaming so far.
It would be much better with:
1-shoulder buttons
2-two analog sticks, small ones like the ones on the psp or ps vita
3-also it's so bluky and it has so much plastic, and I'm sure they can make it much thinner
4-these two screws on the side are easy to use but making it much much bulkier
for me I still prefer a GBA SP with a flash cart, or a psp go with tons of emulators and awesome psp/ps1 games.
still an awesome device.
keep the great videos coming :)
debating between this and a homebrew ps vita. what do you guys think? I really prefer the gba/psp/vita layout; just feels so ergonomic and quick.
hey bro, your camera looks incredible, do you mind sharing the model?
I wonder if the second one will be in a GBA configuration. The game pad could be split in two and each have shoulder buttons. I'll wait and see if they do this before I get one.
do a video on how to get retroarch looking like yours! I've tried following the instructions on the forum, but am not getting the same results :(
woah looks solid....
Very nice handheld console
Wow, beautiful little machine, I want one! Please can you test some GBA games. I know this struggles on some Pi Zero builds, plus others! Thanks!
I have tested some Pokémon games and they run great but they aren’t that heavy duty, I’ll find some more stuff to test out in the next video.
Thank you for the quick reply, I look forward to it! Keep up the great work, man.
