Here are a few cases I found on a quick search that seem to be suitable.
But surely they need editing. I could try to modify them, but I barely created a decent model before.

Same here. Not on the other side of the country, but have a lot of work/deadlines until atleast the second week of January. But I'm guessing there are models of NES / SNES somewhere online, that only need some modifications for the Orange Pi. Shouldn't be too much effort.

@helder never heard the term "sultry" before, but thanks ;)
You're very welcome and like I mentioned to iSP there is no rush on this but definitely something nice to have in the future.

I don't know why anyone would spent $47 for that, when the files on thingiverse look that good. I'll have a look and write you when I have an STL. I now have a 3D printer (yeay!), but I don't have an OrangePi, so you'll have to testprint that later on. Thanks for having the thingiverse links ready :)

My Orange Pi Zero just turned up. :lol:

Plan test it with the latest image tonight.

I got both the PC and PC2 and have played around with the lakka image of the PC version but the wifi dongle's I had don't work with it and the power button doesn't work either so I guess it needs to be reprogrammed to have some use. I'm going to try the retropie image next and this will be going into a Sega Genesis USB Hub shell once it's all done.

On ROPI the Wifi dongles work great for me.
And the Power Button is not configured to work out of the box, as it seems. Sadly...

But you can try this to make it shut down the whole thing, at least:

Got my OPi PC running without issue or difficulty. Runs everything flawlessly up through N64 and PSX, though there was a slight lag while trying out Armored Core.

I'm working on a fully custom portable, but need to figure out a PSU. Anyone have info on power draw or possibly Li-Po battery boosters?
I found a stellar TFT with a positively tiny controller board that works well off the 3.5mm jack (thanks to the Facebook group for that hot tip)

Cheers!
