Experimental Pi PiBoy DMG is a gaming handheld launched in 2020. Powered by BCM2711 (4-core, 1.5 GHz), 1 GB RAM. Features a 3.5" IPS LCD display (640 x 480). 4500 mAh battery. Runs Linux.
The Experimental Pi PiBoy DMG is a vertical handheld launched in 2020 that brings back the classic silhouette of old-school portables while packing modern hardware. At its heart sits the Broadcom BCM2711 SoC, with four Cortex-A72 cores at 1.5 GHz and a 6-core Broadcom VideoCore VI GPU at 500 MHz. RAM is offered in 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB or 8 GB variants.
Performance comfortably covers the full retro range, from Atari, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive and Game Boy Advance up to PlayStation and Neo Geo. At the top end, N64, PSP and Dreamcast titles are playable, and the platform list also includes arcade systems (MAME, Final Burn Neo, Atomiswave, Sega NAOMI), classic computers such as the Commodore 64, Amiga and ZX Spectrum, plus MS-DOS and ScummVM.
The 3.5-inch IPS screen runs at 640 x 480 with a 4:3 aspect ratio, roughly 229 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate, protected by a tempered glass lens. The 4:3 format is a natural match for most retro games.
Controls include a cross D-pad at the top, a single analog thumbstick with L3 at the bottom, 6 face buttons and rear-facing L1 and R1 shoulder buttons. Volume and brightness are adjusted with wheels, and power is handled by a switch. The plastic body measures 148 x 90 x 30 mm and weighs 330 g; there is no rumble.
The 4500 mAh battery is swappable, and charging is done via Micro USB. Cooling combines a heatsink, a fan and ventilation cutouts. Connectivity includes WiFi, Bluetooth, four USB-A ports, Ethernet, Mini HDMI video output and a 3.5mm headphone jack, alongside a front-facing mono speaker and microSD storage.
The operating system is Linux with RetroPie support, giving a flexible base for configuration, customization and tinkering.
Ideal for: retro fans who want a classic-looking vertical handheld, users who value a swappable battery and generous ports, and tinkerers who enjoy setting up their own emulation system.
