MrTrust Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Yeah, yeah, it's just a Pole Position cartridge, and it's just the shell and all that, but why do that? Why ruin something that's in finite supply to do that with it? Harvesting the shells for homebrews, or using them to build a Masterplay clone. That's one thing, but this... couldn't they have at least rigged it up so the ports were accessible through the dust guard slots, or put in a 15-pin joystick port or something that would at least make the use of the shell make sense over just a cheap prefabbed Pi case? Workmanship on it doesn't look so good it would be worth the increased cost over just buying the parts yourself and putting them together, but it's not such a big markup that the guy can be getting much out of it, either, so I guess I don't get it. Feels like it would have been better off staying a Pole Position cart, or if the board inside was no good, as pretty much anything else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Zero / Zero W have a layout that's easy to spot compared to other models. RasPi Zero / Zero W: RasPi 3B: Based on what can be seen of the cartridge innards, the RasPi in use is pretty clearly a Zero or Zero W.
