Who doesn’t love some nostalgic gaming? We certainly do! It’s so easy to connect this little device to a Raspberry Pi Zero and start playing your favourite classic games.
The GamePi13 is a small HAT that lets you build your own retro gaming device with your Pi Zero (so you don’t have to dig out the old Gameboy). It has a 1.3′ IPS display with a 240×240 resolution and 65K colours, and comes with plenty of buttons for a range of games.
Audio is covered with a 3.5mm jack for headphones, a built-in speaker, and a buzzer to add to your gaming experience.
Powering the GamePi13 is easy – just connect it to a Pi Zero or RP2040 Zero and you’re ready to go. Detailed resources and instructions are provided, making assembly and setup a piece of cake!
The Zero and games/ROMs are NOT included.
Features
- 1.3′ IPS screen with ST7789 driver chip, using SPI interface communication
- 65K colour display screen, 240 x 240 resolution for clear display effect
- 12x Customisable Buttons
- Comes with online development resources (demos for Raspberry Pi / RP2040 Zero)
- Note: mounting holes are M2, not the standard M2.5 that you would expect from a HAT! We’ve fed this back to Waveshare to see if they will update the design to be more standardised.
