Flexibility is key for the MultiPi
Flexibility is key here. The MultiPi boasts seven USB ports, one internal and six external, ensuring you have ample connections for your favorite retro controllers. Software loading is equally versatile, offering options like USB drives, MicroSD cards, and even a PCIe X1 port. This freedom caters to your preferred method of storing and accessing your retro game library.
Here’s a crucial detail: the MultiPi doesn’t come pre-loaded with games or emulators. While this might sound like a hurdle, it empowers you to do it yourself – or at least that is what Herber Ltd. would like you to think. You get to choose the specific emulators you want to enjoy your favorite classic games on. This level of customization allows you to curate a truly personalized retro gaming experience. However, it is important to acknowledge that this spin will not be for everyone, leaving many with an additional challenge.
Heber Ltd. is keeping the momentum going, with pre-orders expected to open soon. If you want to get involved, then stay updated on their website and social media to be among the first to grab this exciting new console.
