> 24 hourMe gusta el producto es de buena calidad y en general funciona bien, sin embargo en algunas ocasiones sobre todo cuando no usas el botón de safe es decir sales del emulador para apagarlo genera una baja de voltaje ya que aparece el rayo indicando que hay un problema con el voltaje, no es siempre pero si es molesto verlo he leido y al parecer es un problema bastante regular

> 24 hourGreat little case. Follow the instructions for how to install a simple program. This will make the power and reset buttons work correctly. It is so nice to be able to press the power button, a script runs automatically, and then it shuts down properly. I am using with Pi 3B. It is running retropie. It will shut down the system, even if mid game emulation. I also find that now I no longer get the overheating icon in the upper right while running some more intensive emulators. Probably because of the fan. Be sure to install the fan facing the correct direction. It only blows one direction. I also like the cool NES look. The buttons feel just like a mini NES. Super fun.

> 24 hourMAKE SURE YOU USE THE SCRIPTS BY CYPERGHOST. The ones listed aren’t recommended for any of these cases anymore, and Cyper’s are safer for shutdown & restart. When installing the board just follow the included paper. 2 screws hold the PCB in, and is held in 2 other places by screws that also hold the case together.

> 24 hourI would give this 5 stars, but I spent an irritating amount of time trying to figure out why the safe-shutdown script wasnt working - turns out there is a on/off switch on the PCB board in the case that needs to be set to on; instructions make no mention of this.

> 24 hourI was looking at this case after I saw Category 5 TV. After researching, I decided to go ahead with the NESPi with the single fan so that I can overclock. At the time, I purchased this, I dont recall the dual fan availability. I was able to set this up pretty quickly. A couple of things I didnt know about was the fan direction and where to put the copper heatsink. I knew where the other heat sinks went to,but then later realized the copper heatsink goes under the green one. Hint: The silver location with the raspberry pi logo to where a heatsink looks like it would fit is a Wi-FI shield. Dont put one there. I knew that much, but couldnt figure out why I had three heatsinks with two locations. The point is I had to search around a bit as the instructions were lagging. Other reviews have said this as well. Now once you have this all together, it works great. I was able to overclock for my N64 roms. Still not perfect, but way better than before with 3B+ standard settings. Temperature held well when I monitored via SSH. I also bought a nano USB thumbdrive. It fits great inside the case so that Im not taking up a valuable USB port on the outside of the case. The one other thing I have to ding on this product is that the fan is still a bit lose no matter how many times I try to tighten it. Since I keep it on level ground and not really moving it when its running (why would I,) Im in good shape. The smart shutdown script is a nice bonus Overall, great NES case for your RetroPi setup. If the documentation and maybe better fitting for the fan is in place, I would give it five stars.

> 24 hourThis thing is made of quality plastic, buttons are clicky and responsive. I even did the safe shutdown and safe reset coding and it all works quite well with this case. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend.

> 24 hourEverything fit together nicely and the build quality is pretty decent. The shutdown scripts work as advertised as well, which is an AWESOME feature. My only complaint is that the fan doesnt seem to move air or cool the case whatsoever. Other than that, its a fun little project.

> 24 hourThe case looks great, and works great. The included fan is a touch small, but I was able to get it to fit ok with some washers. The smart power down script is a fantastic addition to this case, well worth replacing an older version IMO.

> 24 hourThis is up there with the best RPi cases available! Just be sure to get the actual Retroflag case and not a knockoff! Quality is awesome, build is easy to do and you wind up with a really well done project display. I have mine set up as a Retropie game server for classic games and the case looks perfect for the job!
