Our great value Raspberry Pi 4 Retro Gaming Kit is the best way to create your very own retro gaming console and includes everything you need (minus games - see below).
With everything in one box, you can be up and running in a matter of minutes. Just connect a screen, plug in the controllers, load your own game files (ROMs) and start shooting down 8-bit aliens with your friends!
Important notes (to avoid disappointment!)
- We do not provide game files (ROMs) as we're not legally permitted to do this. You need to legally source your own games.
- This is a project - not an off-the-shelf console! You'll need to set it up, tweak settings and install files etc. It's a great way to learn about Raspberry Pi and Linux but that kind of geeky-fun isn't for everyone!
- Lakka will not run on 8GB Pis (yet) - please use RetroPie for 8GB boards (or any board - RetroPie is great too!)
This kit is available with different RAM options - Here's a quick guide to which is best for you. Note that CPU power is generally more important than RAM when it comes to running game emulators, and every Raspberry Pi 4 ships with the same CPU:
- 2GB - This is the cheapest option and comes with the lowest amount of memory (RAM). It's still perfectly capable of running a retro gaming machine.
- 4GB - A good balance between price and performance, and is a great option for anyone wanting to use the Raspberry Pi as a desktop PC as well. Our recommended option.
- 8GB - The largest amount of RAM available on a Raspberry Pi today. For those wanting the best performance from their Raspberry Pi as a desktop PC and gaming machine.
Note: A USB keyboard may also be required for some setup and configuration. If you don't have a USB keyboard handy, we sell a great one here.
In the box
Our kit includes the following items:
- Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (64-bit Quad-Core, 2GB, 4GB or 8GB - select above)
The newest, fastest and most powerful Raspberry Pi yet, giving you the computing power to play more demanding retro games! You choose the RAM version you'd like - 2GB, 4GB or 8GB.
- 2x ThePiHut USB Gamepad / Controller ("SNES" Style)
Two of our very own wired, USB game controllers in the classic "SNES" design. This is not an official Nintendo product, but a 3rd party USB type replica of the Super Nintendo/Famicom unit produced in the early 90's! We tested a dozen samples from an array of manufacturers before finding a model we were confident enough to put our name on.
Official Raspberry Pi A2-Class 32GB MicroSD Card - A fast, high-quality, official RPi 32GB A2-Class MicroSD card pre-loaded with the latest 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS, allowing you to get started on your project straight away! Want to run RetroPie? Just wipe the card and install the RetroPie image.
Retro gaming can make your Raspberry Pi work hard - and that means more heat. To keep things nice and cool, we've included a premium precision-cut aluminium alloy case with this kit. It not only looks super smart, but it also naturally dissipates heat from all directions through the body material and upper/lower ventilation holes.
We only include the official power supply with our kits to ensure a stable and reliable power source for your Raspberry Pi 4. UK, EU & US options are available - select plug style before adding to your cart.
A high-quality black micro-HDMI cable connects your Raspberry Pi to any HDMI screen or monitor. The cable is micro-HDMI to HDMI, so no adapters are required. The 2m length ensures plenty of flexibility for placement.
A handy little USB micro-SD card reader, in case you want to add game ROM files manually via a PC. It's also handy if you ever need/want to reflash your SD card with a different operating system.
The most powerful Raspberry Pi yet!
The incredible new Raspberry Pi 4 is the most powerful Raspberry Pi yet, which means even better retro gaming performance! It boasts amazing new features and improvements including:
- 1.5GHz 64-bit quad-core CPU

Gets the job done. Just barely.
Style: Dual Arms, Size: 17"-33"
It holds up my monitor, but just barely, and without any confidence or finesse.
I had to move on from my previous arm mounts, the HUANUO. Those claimed to hold up to a 30 inch monitor and support 20 pounds. When I upgraded to a Samsung Odyssey Neo G8, it could no longer perform its duties. The gas shock was up to task, but the final adjustment piece that tilts it up or down was a hard down.
Queue this piece of hardware! 22 pounds is more than 20, and 32 is more than 30. This time I'm not even technically out of spec. The clamping force seems more than adequate to hold this to my desk. I will, at this point, basically walk you through how I feel about this mount, based on the order of installation instructions.
The way it goes together means that you will have to pull your desk out to maneuver the clamp in place before snugging it back up to the wall, a point in the HUANO's favor since it had a clever leveraging mechanism that lets you hang it with your desk still against the wall.
The way cords route through the arms close to the base means that you have to route them before you put the swivel arm on the base. This is because it has a screw at the front and back to secure the cover, and the angle/height are such that you cannot fit a screwdriver into the bottom one after you mount it. While not impossible to do with it installed, it would involve a right-angle screwdriver. They provide one of those, but the screwdriver bit of it is on the long shaft, and you would need it on the short shaft to get to that screw.
The way the swivel arms mount on the base is less than ideal as well. The arm slips onto a robust metal hub, and you tighten a screw that pushes against a plastic tab that makes it harder or easier to move. The location for this screw faces the wall. So you must turn the arm at an extreme angle to make it tighter or looser. Not a big deal, but noticeable.
Top arms go on smoothly, cable routing is simple and easy. No complaints about this section.
Mounting the monitor. The instructions are to mount the plate to the monitor, and then slide the plate onto the holder and secure it with the screw. I did this for neither of my monitors, although I tried it for my second. My big monitor went smoothly by mounting the bracket ahead of time and just forcing the arm down into position while my monitor rested on my desk. I tried this for my second bracket, but it was much harder to do with the monitor in a vertical orientation. So then I tried to do it the way the instructions wanted. I would have been able to do so, but my monitor has the mounting location set into the back of the monitor. This means that you can't mount it flush and then slide it on because you don't have clearance. So I tried to use the spacers. The spacers aren't spacious enough and the screws bottomed before snugging. While I'm not saying that solution wouldn't have technically worked, I instead reverted back to mounting the bracket first. This time I laid my monitor flat on the desk, reduced the tension in the shock greatly, and placed it into position that way.
At the end when it's complete and setup? It works. It will hold the G8. But just barely. The G8 uses an adapter to go from the monitor mounting points to VESA 100. This adapter sticks out quite a bit from the monitor, which means the weight is further away from the mounting point. Getting the tilt adjustment to hold involved a bigger allen wrench and cranking it further than it seems like it was meant to go. It groaned, but it held. It wants to dip if you mess with it, so I crank it again. Will it one day totally fail on me and point my monitor at my desk? Maybe. But it works on day 1, so that's a start.

The Best Cable Management Solution for IT Work — Reusable, Reliable, and Professional
Size: 150Pk - 8" x 1/2", Style: Cord Wrap Cable Ties, Color: Black and Gray
TL;DR: I’ve been using these VELCRO Brand cable ties for years as an IT field tech. They hold tight, are endlessly reusable, and keep cables tidy. Great for both home and professional setups.
Full Review:
As an IT field technician, I’ve tried countless ways to keep cables organized, and these VELCRO Brand cable ties are simply the best. They’re reusable, strong, and easy to reposition — ideal for network racks, AV installs, or just cleaning up cords around the house.
Functionality:
Top-notch. The hook-and-loop material is aggressive enough to hold firmly, but not so sticky that it clings to everything else in your tool bag. They wrap cleanly, stay put, and release easily when you need to re-route cables. They’re reliable enough for professional jobs and flexible enough for home use.
Storage Capacity:
Each strap holds more than you’d expect — I rarely need to link two together. They handle thick cable bundles or power cords just fine on their own. And when I do need more length, it’s easy to join a second strap for a larger wrap.
The two-color mix (black and gray) is great for keeping different cable types separated — for instance, network vs. power. The thin profile also helps keep bundles neat and professional-looking.
These have earned me plenty of compliments from higher-ups for clean cable runs and well-organized setups. Once you switch to these, you’ll never want to deal with cutting zip ties again.

VELCRO Ties Are the Standard to Rely On
Size: 150Pk - 8" x 1/2", Style: Cord Wrap Cable Ties, Color: Black and Gray
I am a big fan of VELCRO brand products because of their quality and utility. I have used their rolls of Velcro hook and loop tape as well as their little patches, and I became a brand loyalist. Yes, there are many other manufacturers, but these are certainly as good as it gets. This product is your very basic, very thin, and very copious supply (for my neighbors in Rio Linda - that means plenty of them). You get two big spools of these little eight (8) inch ties that are adhesive throughout their length - that means you can tie the smallest cables to anything almost up to their full length. If you need a longer wrap - use more than one and just extend the length by piggy backing them. The real advantage of this bulk package is that you are not tempted to save some for later - you have enough to use as many as you like and can happily go tie crazy on all your cords! It's VELCRO party time. We live in an electronic age, and I have a lot of more pricey hook-and-loop specialty ties, and I try to keep a few back as spares. Forget that - with these little ties, I can actually use them and do what I need to get those tangled cords in shape. O.K. maybe I am a geek, but I cook my chicken - dead already, and I believe in independent segregated wiring and not tripping over things or spending time untangling messes when I need to move gear. These big rolls will make your life easier - I use them to attach notes to little jars or vials - to tie two gloves together when I am not wearing them - and other uses even cutting them into smaller pieces. That's one of the advantages of these bulk spools - lots of supply. Yes, the individual ties are dinky thin little things, but they hold very well (why you buy genuine VELCRO) and you don't feel stupid using them up on anything you feel like. They are expendable, and that adds to their ultimate utility. Darned useful product. Buy it - use it; enjoy.

Computers, electronics cabling? You NEED these!
Size: 100Pk - 6” x ½”, Style: Cord Wrap Cable Ties, Color: Black
If you do any cabling, be it TV or computer or anything else, these ARE worth there weight in gold. Seriously! They'll keep your cable runs, extension cords, etc in a nice neat easy to work with bundle that you can have out of the way. Adhesion is very good also which is also important. Just the right size for most applications and if you need something large they make them to fit your needs. Cable management has always been a pet peeve of mine and makes a difference that not only shows but makes future work and maintenance much easier. Whenever I see a rat's nest cluster of wires I always know it means shoddy workmanship!

Very Effective, but Not the Instructions
Size: 150Pk - 8" x 1/2", Style: Cord Wrap Cable Ties, Color: Black and Gray
These work very well, but when you remove them from the box, you see two donuts, one grey, one black, of 75 tightly wrapped cable ties each. So far, so good.
First deficiency: The "how to use" pictures---three of them---are tiny light line drawings in 7/16" x 7/16" boxes. If you don't have a 400-power microscope, maybe a magnifying glass will do. Maybe Velcro---a "name" brand that should know better---thinks that the use of these devices is obvious. Well, "obvious" is obvious only when it's obvious, and that can vary from person to person. They should assume nothing.
Second deficiency: Before trying (and, one hopes, succeeding) at using these ties, one must determine exactly now to remove the first tie from the outside of either donut. Obvious? No, not really, because, as it turned out, it requires some effort to remove the first one---the placement and circumstances of which do not at all (not on my set of these, anyway) suggest in any concrete way which one should be taken first. No one wants to tear up a couple of ties just to figure out how not to tear up ties by removing them incorrectly or out of order.
The punishment here is four stars that could have been five.
