That pi zero in a cartridge is so cool!
It really shows how far tech has advanced.
I know you could fit multiple phone chips or probably like an M series laptop chip (in the hypothetical world Apple made them open), but the pi and the peripheral ports hit for me that is a real computer
+the fact the pi is so darn cheap, has the IO and can emulate the game on the system not at all designed specifically for the task while also running a whole Linux stack and being online. Things have advanced tremendously.
Very neat! I just have my miyo mini plus and steam deck as my most used devices.
I really want a steam deck
The deck is pretty awesome. I think my big upgrade for it will be some AR glasses like the XReal Air. The idea of a big screen to play on pretty much anywhere really appeals.
I just have to see if I can wait for the next Valve VR offering.
Steam Deck + Retroid Pocket 4 Pro for me. The RP4 is a recent addition and it blows my kind how capable this cheap tiny thing is.
What does the little NES guy play?
It’s hit a pi zero 1 w in it so Atari to right up to N64, but not N64
Idk what a Pi Zero 1 could play, but that sounds well enough for a good time.
Everything
Good stuff, og Gameboy was my first handheld I have a lot of fond memories of those games like Zelda, WrestleMania, Castlevania, etc
These days I’m less on mobile gaming I have batocera running on a raspberry pi 4 in one of those small acrylic cases and a small fan
I spent months tweaking a retropie image and basically learning all the Linux config file issues and arcane knowledge to adapt retropie’s outdated Emulationstation fork.
… And then I built the next system with Batocera and wow, night and day. Save state UX and configs that work right out of the box, clean interface theme options, customization galore without needing a keyboard. I just wish Ruckage’s SNES Classic theme worked on it.
