Pre-configured images are available to download so you can enjoy playing without the hassle of setting it up. Powered using one or two lithium batteries and re-charged via USB-C.
No soldering
You do not need any soldering skills to use the Zega Mame Gear kit. It simple screws into an original or reproduction Game Gear shell.
4 Button Support
Although not required, adding the additional 2 front buttons will open up more games to play on the Zega Mame Gear. Some shell modification is required. If you don't fancy drilling the shell yourself, purchase a ready drilled shell in the colour of your choice from the store.
