Game Case Alwaysbefun's CM4 is a gaming handheld. 2 GB RAM. Features a 4" IPS display (640 x 480). 4000 mAh battery. Runs RetroPie (Linux).
The 3.5-inch IPS screen runs at 640 x 480, for a pixel density of roughly 229 ppi. Its 4:3 aspect ratio is a natural fit for classic-era games. The panel is protected by tempered glass, a welcome touch on a device meant to travel with you.
For controls, the CM4 places a cross-shaped D-pad in the upper position next to dual symmetric thumbsticks with L3/R3. Four face buttons and horizontal L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons complete the layout. Audio comes from dual stereo speakers facing downward, and a 3.5mm headphone jack is available for private listening.
A 4000 mAh battery powers the handheld and charges over USB-C. For connectivity, you get WiFi and Bluetooth, plus a USB-A host port for accessories. Games and the system live on a microSD card.
On the software side, the console runs Linux with RetroPie, a well-known front end for organizing emulators and game libraries. The modding policy is permissive, so tinkerers are free to experiment with custom setups and configurations.
Ideal for: retro enthusiasts who want a horizontal handheld with dual thumbsticks and a 4:3 screen. It also suits users who enjoy customizing RetroPie and players who want to enjoy N64, PSP and Dreamcast titles on the go.
