A new retro gaming handheld has entered the scene! The GameForce Chi is a horizontal handheld retro games console manufactured by GameForce.

A 3.45-inch 4:3 480p TFT IPS screen paves the way to crisp, high quality gaming visuals despite being a hand held console., and there are also togglable back-lit buttons for more comfortable usage in a variety of light conditions.
The design of the GameForce chi is very retro-inspired, and comes in many different bright, eye-catching colours. This is combined with a very sturdy plastic shell and responsive high-quality buttons to ensure you have an excellent retro gaming experience with this handheld game console no matter what platform you choose.
The GameForce Chi also features built-in Wi-Fi functionality to enable access to several additional features, such as online play via RetroArch, and the ability to directly scrape for game meta-data (box art, screenshots, etc.), allowing for a truly comprehensaive and personalized collection of games on your retro games console.

Good points: great screen and capable system.Bad points: buttons too tall and wobbly, easy to mistakenly insert Micro SD card into slot gap

Absolutely love it!! Had a little trouble in the beginning with my home button being alittle wonky and now just not working the way it should but idk it kind of gives this device some personality. I don’t know how to describe it other than despite a button not working properly I am still able to do everything I need to inspite of the bad button so in my books that’s a win and I would definitely reccomend this device to others and this website for them to get it; cause the device is cute and feels great in the hand!!

Pretty good retro handheld, not ideal for dreamcast or N64 but all 8 bit and 16 bit play great. Playstation also plays extremely well! Felt the colours looked a bit washed out but other than that really good.Device only appears to charge whilst on? Not sure if this is a flaw.Thank you Droix for including the memory card flashed with EmuELEC! Top Class!

Minor defects when arrived, dirt, paint chip and glue around screen. Supplied sd card failed after 1 day. Ergonomics are good, like the design. Led buttons are cool but ABXY rattle and are too tall. Emuelec/Retro Arch seems slow on this device. No volume controls, only in software specific emulators.Underwhelming overall.
