GameShell is the world's first modular, portable game console with a GNU/LINUX embedded operating system. It allows you to play thousands of classic games from Atari, GB, GBA, NES, SNES and many of history’s greatest consoles.
- Free Independent Games
GameShell uses the powerful LINUX operating system and every game published on it will be free, open-source and modifiable. We have included one classic game - Cave Story in GameShell and there will be more free games included in future.
- Create Your Own Games & Mods
GameShell supports programming languages like preset C, Python, Lua, and LISP. You will be able to modify games and even create new ones as you wish.
We understand the frustration when building a work platform using Arduino, Raspberry Pi and other development boards. Usually it takes hours to set up before you can really start your work but with the easy to assemble GameShell components, that problem is solved.
Compare clockwork Pi and Raspberry Pi
With the capacity of clockwork Pi, there are many creative ways you can modify and develop, such as creating a DIY wireless speaker, programming a remote to control devices, or making smart toys that interact with Lego blocks.
Risks and challenges
With our years of experience in the design and manufacturing fields, we are very confident with our process and production schedule for GameShell.
However, we also know that hidden obstacles and challenges often occur. If something does go wrong, we promise to keep our backers updated and informed about any issues and about the way in which we are solving them.
