## Description

Pocket-sized fun is the name of this game, with the Joy Bonnet &#x2013; our most fun Bonnet ever (no we didn&apos;t even think that was possible, either!). This Bonnet fits perfectly on top of your Raspberry Pi Zero (any kind) and gives you adorable hand-held arcade controls. Once you install our script onto your Pi, the controls will act like a keyboard, for easy use with any emulator or media player. Personally, we found this Bonnet to work best with RetroPie/EmulationStation. On a Pi Zero we could emulate NES and MAME game (our favorites!) but other emulators that don&apos;t require more than 1GHz speeds will work OK too, e.g. a N64 emulator won&apos;t work, it needs way more power! Best of all, this Bonnet is fully assembled - no soldering at all is required. You may need to solder headers onto your Pi Zero (or use press-fit headers) but once that&apos;s done you&apos;re ready to rock. In theory you could also use this with a Pi A+ or B+/2/3 but it wouldn&apos;t be very hand-held. Since you&apos;ll likely grip the Pi during play, we strongly recommend a comfortable enclosure to go along with it! The Adafruit Pi Zero case works well and is nice and rounded for easy holding. A Mini HDMI cable will also make it easy to plug-and-play into your HDMI screen. Raspberry Pi, HDMI cables, SD card, enclosure, and display not included. But we do stock all those things in the shop.

    Good for a novelty
  

*by E***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2017*

This was a breeze to go into the command line on the emulator that I use and installed the support for the buttons and joy stick from the and it was all done within 15 minutes start to playing a game to test it. You do need to solder a header (which does not come included, 2x20 male header) onto the pi board, which is an almost easy task if you have never done it before. It's the size of a Pi Zero obviously, you can use a normal usb controller for a fraction of the cost but I wanted this to have a quick and easy plug and play (hdmi and power cord) when I am away from home if I'm stuck at a hotel or at the family cabin and it's raining. I personally have not experienced any heat from holding any buttons for too long but I've only handled it for a couple hours, mapping the buttons took a bit of time since at first it was not recognized but somehow it mapped it as "keyboard" and had no problems once it took

    Dab of glue would make it a 5 star.
  

*by B***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2018*

Works well no major issues, but the joystick falls off fairly easy out of the box. Dab of glue would make it a 5 star.
