I love having a RetroPie/EmulationStation setup... my favorite one was a PiBoy DMG - an original Gameboy shaped device w/ a 3.5" LCD and modern controls - it was perfect... but the dev left the project and my hardware finally gave up the ghost.

Gonna dig into it sometime soon and see if its salvagable, otherwise I'm ripe for a new ES build. I've always had great success with < PS1 console emulation. :P
