If you’ve ever dreamt of turning your old-school arcade cabinet into a modern powerhouse, Recalbox just made the dream a little more accessible.
The new RGB JAMMA 2 has officially arrived, and it’s specifically designed to house the Raspberry Pi 5. While the original adapter was a hit, this successor steps things up with a sleek, white resin-printed case. This isn’t just for looks, either; the shell helps protect your hardware by isolating electronic components once you tuck it away inside your machine.
Now, let’s talk numbers. At roughly $150, it is more than double the price of its predecessor. However, between the upgraded features and the reality of inflation since the last launch, the price tag feels justified—especially if you value a clean, professional setup.
A few quick things to keep in mind before you hit “buy”:
- Hardware required: You’ll need to supply your own Raspberry Pi 5 and MicroSD card.
- Software: If you stick with RecalBox software, it’s essentially “plug and play” (as much as arcade tinkering ever truly is).
- Customization: While other operating systems can likely run, they aren’t officially supported, so prepare for some troubleshooting.
