Game Case Retro Dreamer (Game 4 All CM4) is a gaming handheld launched in 2021. Powered by BCM2711 (4-core, 1.5 GHz), 1 GB RAM. Features a 3" IPS LCD display (640 x 480). 800 mAh battery. Runs Linux.

The Game Case Retro Dreamer (Game 4 All CM4) is a horizontal handheld launched in 2021, built around a Broadcom BCM2711 SoC with four Cortex-A72 cores at 1.5 GHz and a 6-core Broadcom VideoCore VI GPU running at 500 MHz. Cooling is handled by a heatsink, and RAM comes in 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB or 8 GB depending on the variant.

On the emulation side, 8-bit and 16-bit systems, the Game Boy family, Game Boy Advance, SNES and PlayStation run without fuss, while N64, PSP and Dreamcast are playable. The platform list is remarkably broad, covering classic computers such as Amiga, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, MSX and ZX Spectrum, plus ScummVM, Pico-8 and arcade through MAME and Final Burn Neo.

The 3-inch IPS screen runs at 640 x 480 in a 4:3 aspect ratio, with roughly 267 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate. The 4:3 shape is a natural fit for retro games, and the OCA-laminated tempered glass gives a clean image along with extra protection.

Controls include a cross D-pad placed up top, a single analog stick below it, four face buttons and L1, R1, L2, R2 shoulder buttons in a vertical arrangement. The plastic body measures 145 x 82 x 24 mm. Volume is set with a wheel, brightness via Select + L2/R2, and power through a switch. There is no rumble.

The battery is swappable and uses two 14500 cells, with a listed capacity of 800 mAh; charging goes through the EXT port. The console offers WiFi, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a single front-facing mono speaker, while storage relies on microSD and cartridge.

The base system is Linux, and modding is permitted: you can run BATOCERA, EmuELEC, Lakka, RecalBox, RetroLX or RetroPie, depending on your preferences.

Ideal for: retro enthusiasts who want a configurable handheld with a 4:3 screen, swappable batteries and full freedom to choose their operating system.
