Description:
Our great value Raspberry Pi 4 Retro Gaming Kit is the best way to create your very own retro gaming console and includes everything you need (minus games - see below).
With everything in one box, you can be up and running in a matter of minutes. Just connect a screen, plug in the controllers, load your own game files (ROMs) and start shooting down 8-bit aliens with your friends!
Note:
Important notes (to avoid disappointment!)
We do not provide game files (ROMs) as we're not legally permitted to do this. You need to legally source your own games.
This is a project - not an off-the-shelf console! You'll need to set it up, tweak settings and install files etc. It's a great way to learn about the Raspberry Pi and Linux but that kind of geeky-fun isn't for everyone!
Lakka will not run on 8GB Pis (yet) - please use RetroPie for 8GB boards (or any board - RetroPie is great too!)

In the box
Our kit includes the following items:
- Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (64bit Quad-Core, 2GB, 4GB or 8GB - select above)
The newest, fastest and most powerful Raspberry Pi yet, giving you the computing power to play more demanding retro games! You choose the RAM version you'd like - 2GB, 4GB or 8GB.
- 2x ThePiHut USB Gamepad / Controller ("SNES" Style)
-Two of our very own wired, USB game controllers in the classic "SNES" design. This is not an official Nintendo product, but a 3rd party USB type replica of the Super Nintendo/Famicom unit produced in the early 90's! We tested a dozen samples from an array of manufacturers before finding a model we were confident enough to put our name on.
- 32GB Class 10 SanDisk MicroSD
The included 32GB Class-10 SanDisk micro-SD card comes pre-installed with the ‘NOOBS’ operating system installer. Want to run RetroPie? Just wipe the card and install the RetroPie image.
- Aluminum Raspberry Pi 4 Case
Retro gaming can make your Raspberry Pi work hard - and that means more heat. To keep things nice and cool, we've included a premium precision-cut aluminium alloy case with this kit. It not only looks super smart, but it also naturally dissipates heat from all directions through the body material and upper/lower ventilation holes.
- Official Raspberry Pi 5.1V 3A Power Supply
We only include the official power supply with our kits to ensure a stable and reliable power source for your Raspberry Pi 4. UK, EU & US options are available - select plug style before adding to your cart.
- 2m Micro-HDMI to HDMI Cable
A high-quality black micro-HDMI cable connects your Raspberry Pi to any HDMI screen or monitor. The cable is micro-HDMI to HDMI, so no adapters are required. The 2m length ensures plenty of flexibility for placement.
- USB Micro-SD Card Reader
A handy little USB micro-SD card reader, in case you want to add game ROM files manually via a PC. It's also handy if you ever need/want to reflash your SD card with a different operating system.
