Zega Mame Gear Plus is a horizontal gaming handheld. Powered by the Cortex-A53 with 512 MB RAM. Runs Linux.
The Zega Mame Gear Plus is a horizontal retro handheld built for players who want a generous library of classic systems in a compact device. It pairs a quad-core Cortex-A53 processor with Broadcom VideoCore IV graphics and 512 MB of LPDDR2 memory, running Linux with RetroPie support.
The four ARM cores run at 1.0 GHz, while the VideoCore IV GPU is clocked at 250 MHz. This is a modest configuration, best suited to 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit classics: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive and PlayStation. The platform list also includes Nintendo DS, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast and PlayStation Portable, but on this hardware the more demanding systems should be approached with realistic expectations, as results will vary from game to game.
The 3.5-inch IPS display runs at 320 x 240, a resolution that lines up well with many older consoles and keeps pixel art crisp without aggressive scaling. IPS technology also helps with viewing angles and color consistency.
The horizontal form factor offers the wide, landscape layout typical of classic handhelds, a familiar design for long sessions of platformers, fighting games and RPGs.
Power comes from a 2500 mAh battery, making the Mame Gear Plus ready for play away from the wall outlet.
On the software side, Linux combined with RetroPie support gives access to a well-known, community-backed emulation front end where systems, emulators and settings can be organized and tweaked to taste. It is a good fit for those who enjoy customizing their setup.
Ideal for: retro fans focused on classic libraries from the 8-bit era up to PlayStation who want a horizontal handheld with an IPS screen and RetroPie-based software, and who accept modest performance on the more demanding systems.
