PiGRRL 2 is a gaming handheld launched in 2015. Powered by BCM2836 (4-core, 900 MHz), 1 GB RAM. Features a 2.8" TFT display (320 x 240). 2500 mAh battery. Runs RetroPie (Linux).
At its heart sits the BCM2836 processor, with four Cortex-A7 cores clocked at 900 MHz, paired with 1 GB of RAM. This configuration is especially well suited to emulating classic 8-bit and 16-bit systems, where games run smoothly. More demanding platforms can push the modest hardware to its limits, so the PiGRRL 2 shines most in traditional retro territory.
The 2.8-inch TFT screen has a resolution of 320 x 240, close to that of many classic consoles, which helps render pixel art faithfully. The size is compact and well suited to short sessions, although fine details can appear small.
The vertical layout offers a familiar grip, and the four face buttons cover the controls needed for most classic games well. The compact design makes the console easy to carry while staying true to the style of vintage handhelds.
Power comes from a 2500 mAh battery, allowing you to play away from an outlet. Sound is delivered through a single mono speaker, which is enough for chiptune soundtracks and the effects typical of retro games.
On the software side, the PiGRRL 2 runs RetroPie, a Linux-based distribution that brings numerous emulators together under a single interface. The platform is flexible, easy to configure and backed by an active community, offering freedom to customize and organize your game library.
Ideal for: fans of classic 8-bit and 16-bit games, lovers of the vertical form factor and users who appreciate the flexibility of RetroPie in a compact handheld.
