Tucked inside its unassuming black exterior is a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 Lite. That particular version packs a 1.4 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor and 1GB of RAM.<\/p>\n<p>The Lyra has a 5&#8243;, 800 x 480 pixel LCD and a 3000 mAh lithium polymer battery for mobile play. When you want to kick back and play on a larger display you can plug in to a full-sized HDMI port.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/liliputing.com\/2019\/07\/https-www-youtube-com-watchvpeztppcmw_e.html\">Liliputing&#8217;s Brad Linder notes<\/a> it&#8217;s a little surprising that Creoqode didn&#8217;t wait for the Raspberry Pi team to release an updated version of the Compute Module before launching the Kickstarter. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/raspberry-pi-4-is-the-most-powerful-yet-and-its-still-just-35-1793101\/\">The new Pi<\/a> offers dramatically improved performance thanks to its 1.5GHz quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A72 processor.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1797559\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/lyra-2.jpg?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/lyra-2.jpg?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/lyra-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/lyra-2-625x352.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/lyra-2-650x365.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/lyra-2-141x80.jpg 141w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/lyra-2-130x73.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Theoretically, though, it&#8217;ll be easy enough to perform the swap on your own. If you back the Kickstarter and receive a Lyra you ought to be able to pop out the CM3L and replace it with the CM4L (or whatever they end up calling it).<\/p>\n<p>Because the Lyra is Linux-based you can run just about any emulator you want on it. It&#8217;s kind of like a pocketable PiCade. You can run regular desktop apps, too. Hook up a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and the Lyra goes from a portable console to a portable desktop!<\/p>\n<p>The GPIO pads are easily accessible, too, so you can hack the Lyra just like you would a regular Raspberry Pi.<\/p>\n<p>To secure one of the first units Creoqode produces you&#8217;ll need to pledge \u00a3179, which is roughly $225 at today&#8217;s exchange. They&#8217;re expecting to retail the Lyra for about $100 more once the crowdfunding campaign is finished.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>More on Geek.com:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/limited-run-games-brings-back-classic-star-wars-cartridges-1797330\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Limited Run Games Brings Back Classic \u2018Star Wars\u2019 Cartridges<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/is-joy-con-drift-nintendo-switchs-red-ring-of-death-1797115\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Is Joy-Con Drift Nintendo Switch\u2019s Red Ring of Death?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/origin-pc-ends-console-wars-with-ps4-xbox-one-nintendo-switch-combo-case-1797160\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Origin PC Ends Console Wars With PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch Combo Case<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/lyra-650x366.jpg\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\"><\/p>\n<div>(Photo Credit: Creoqode \/ Kickstarter)<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The last time that I purchased an electronic device called Lyra, it was an MP3 player with something like 128 megs of onboard storage.&nbsp; There&rsquo;s a new Lyra coming that is going to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/lyra-is-a-handheld-gaming-system-powered-by-a-raspberry-pi-1797511\/\">Lyra Is a Handheld Gaming System Powered by a Raspberry Pi<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/\">Geek.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/2019\/07\/26\/lyra-is-a-handheld-gaming-system-powered-by-a-raspberry-pi\/\">\u95b1\u8b80\u5168\u6587 <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"slim_seo":[],"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[6371,2680,2,2122,6372,2047,3769,2077,7],"tags":[364,398,402,397,414,413,410,409,407,408,406,399,400,394,10,401,372,396,403,412,374,411,395,371,405,404,366],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7prtj-Dxp","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151987"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=151987"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151987\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=151987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=151987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=151987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
