The console was powered by a Hitachi SH7021 SuperH 32-bit RISC CPU running at 20Mhz, and had 1MB of RAM and 2MB of ROM.[4][5] It was capable of displaying 512-color graphics and of playing 4 channels of 12-bit PCM audio.[5]

The Loopy features one controller port[1] for use with a standard game controller or with a mouse which was sold separately.

The Loopy included a built-in thermal color printer that could be used to create stickers from game screenshots. An optional accessory, called Magical Shop (マジカルショップ, Majikaru Shoppu),[5] was a video capture device to obtain images from VCRs and DVD players. Users may add text to these images and make stickers. Including Magical Shop's own built-in software, the Loopy library contained 11 titles.[5]

Developer Kenji Terada worked on I Want a Room in Loopy Town! (ルーピータウンのおへやがほしい!, Rūpī Taun no O-heya ga Hoshii!).[6]

Casio ceased production of the console in December 1998, with software development ending in November 1996.[1]
