Game Case Super PocketGo CM3 is a gaming handheld launched in 2020. Powered by BCM2837 (4-core, 1.2 GHz), 1 GB RAM. Features a 2.4" IPS LCD display (320 x 240). 1000 mAh battery. Runs Linux.
Inside sits the Broadcom BCM2837 SoC, with four Cortex-A53 cores at 1.2 GHz, Broadcom VideoCore IV graphics at 250 MHz and 1 GB of DDR2 RAM. The classic 8- and 16-bit library runs effortlessly: NES, SNES, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Master System, Game Gear, the Game Boy family, Game Boy Advance, PC Engine and Neo Geo, plus computers such as the Commodore 64, Amiga, ZX Spectrum, MSX and Amstrad CPC, alongside ScummVM and MAME. SNES Super FX games and 3D PS1 titles run at 60 FPS, while N64 and Nintendo DS are playable but can be laggy. More demanding systems such as Dreamcast, Saturn and PSP appear on the list but go beyond the hardware's comfortable limit.
The 2.4-inch IPS screen has a QVGA resolution of 320 x 240, a 4:3 aspect ratio, a 60 Hz refresh rate and around 167 ppi, protected by tempered glass. The 4:3 format is a natural fit for classic consoles, although a couple of users have reported screen tearing.
Controls include an upper-placed cross D-pad, four face buttons, L1 and R1 shoulders and a Reset button. There are no analog sticks and no rumble. Volume is adjusted with a wheel, brightness via a button combination, and power is handled by a switch. Sound comes from a single front-facing mono speaker.
The 1000 mAh battery charges over Micro USB. The handheld also offers a 3.5mm headphone jack, AV out for connecting to a TV and microSD storage.
The operating system is Linux with RetroPie support, and modding is permitted, making it appealing to anyone who wants to tailor their setup.
Ideal for: retro fans who want the most compact handheld with CM3 power, players focused on classic 8- and 16-bit and PS1 titles, and tinkerers who value AV out and the freedom of RetroPie.
