Pico-8 Cartridge Label for GPi Case

================================================================================

The GPi Case (https://retroflag.com/GPi-CASE.html) is a fancy case for the
Raspberry Pi Zero that gives you a screen, speaker, buttons and battery in a
design reminiscent of the original DMG-001 Classic Game Boy. I’ve got mine set
up to emulate some old game consoles. It’s great.

As the GPi Case uses a Raspberry Pi at its core, you can use it to run more than
just game emulators. The Raspberry Pi plays Pico-8
(https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php) games wonderfully
(Pico-8 officially supports Raspberry Pi as a platform, too!).

I’d always wanted a dedicated Pico-8 console, so the GPi fits the bill
perfectly. I bought a second GPi cartridge to make a dedicated Pico-8 cart for
my GPi. It contains a Raspberry Pi Zero W and an 8GB Micro SD card with a
stripped-down Retropie that boots straight to the Pico-8 splore menu so you can
immediately find and launch Pico-8 games made by the community.

I put these labels together using found assets and the Pico-8 logo. You can
print them on paper and then just glue or tape them onto the cartridge case.
