RetroFlag Dream Case: the Sega Dreamcast reborn on Raspberry Pi 5

Remember back in late November, we introduced you to the RetroFlag 64Pi Case, a superb case paying tribute to the Nintendo 64, specially designed to house the Raspberry Pi 5. Today, it's Sega fans’ turn to celebrate, with the arrival of a new case steeped in nostalgia: the RetroFlag Dream Case, inspired by the legendary Dreamcast.


A miniature Dreamcast... for your Raspberry Pi 5

At first glance, the Dream Case impresses with its aesthetic accuracy: white color, clean lines, fake disc tray, functional buttons, stylized logo... every visual cue of the Dreamcast is here. Enough to warm the hearts of fans of Sega's last home console!

But beyond the nostalgic wink, the case is also very well designed: it provides easy access to the Raspberry Pi 5 ports, effective thermal management, and most importantly, wired power and reset buttons for a proper system shutdown, just as we've come to expect from RetroFlag.

A case built for retrogaming

Just like the 64Pi Case that won us over (see our YouTube video), RetroFlag has really taken user experience into account:

  • The POWER button lets you safely turn your Recalbox on or off.
  • The RESET button, connected to the GPIO, is fully programmable (return to menu, soft reset, etc.).
  • A silent fan and aluminum heatsink ensure stable temperatures, even with demanding platforms like Naomi or N64.
  • Two front-facing USB ports allow direct connection of your controllers.
  • On the back, you’ll find the usual HDMI, USB-C, Ethernet, and microSD ports, easily accessible without disassembly.

The overall design feels sturdy, well-ventilated, and easy to assemble, with an included screwdriver.


Expected to be available in France starting Fall 2025 from all usual retailers, for around €35 to €40, this case is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to combine retro looks with modern reliability, thanks to functional buttons and thermal protection tailored to the Raspberry Pi 5.
