I saw this announced a while back. It's pretty low-power and it still has all the usual allwinner issues (screen tearing), but considering it's pretty much the only GBA-SP style device out there and that it's only $30, it's certainly a decent deal for what it is. If you were a big fan of the...

Here's a whole bunch of gameplay footage on a really rough prototype.

ETA has a couple new videos showing some more emulation tests and how to assemble the device. He also confirmed that steamlink works well, and that the battery life is 3-4hrs under normal operation, or about 2hrs if you overclock for very demanding games. Not amazing, but about what I...

I see the 2020 edition of Keyboard Layout Argument Simulator is out. Let the games begin.

I don't disagree that landscape > portrait, but I understand why they do it. Using an OG gameboy layout is the only "acceptable" way to get the device this thick. If you had a bespoke landscape handheld this thick, everybody would complain about how chonky it is. But it needs to be as thick...

According to this discussion, the RPi is just designed that way. They needed to build it to a price, and the "it's either on or off" setup they have was the cheapest way to get it to do what it was intended to do. I would certainly prefer a near-instant sleep/wake as well, but I guess it is...

I picked up a copy of Carrion today and played for a good 45min before I needed to get back to work. It's a very fun and very icky game that you can pick up DRM-free for PC, mac, or linux on GOG.

I just saw elsewhere that you can get 10% off with the code " FB10". Since I already have a couple RPi4s lying around, that pushed me over the edge. Just placed an order.

$90 for the basic kit, $120 for the full kit including battery and fan, or $180 fully assembled with a 2GB RPi4. Available for preorder now, with shipping scheduled for next month. Experimental Pi site

Yeah, way too rich for my blood. I mean it's not egregious considering the specs and capability, but considering I hardly even used the dozen or so handhelds I already have, I certainly can't justify dropping a grand on a chonky toy.

Looks like the cat's officially out of the bag. It's now available on amazon in a couple different RAM/storage configurations for between $970 and $1200. Here's an extended emulation test showing GC and wii performance using dolphin:

Ars isn't impressed.

I'm back on WoW (WotLK private server), along with my wife and a bunch of IRL friends who we played with back in the day. I'm "lucky" in that my work is still very much active and I can do everything from home, but it means that all my furloughed friends are blowing past me leveling half a...

Definitely a chunky beast, but that's kind of inevitable with the TDP and battery they're claiming. The side pic is pretty clear, and what I'm not seeing is anything that looks like a secure attachment point for the "joycons". I'm wondering if they're actually going to be two separate devices...

With all the coronavirus-related slowdowns and backlogs, I think we can safely assume they're not going to hit that date. If we're lucky, they might send a few preproduction units to reviewers before they can actually get production started. That might allow time for them to be made aware of...

Does it have two displays (front and back of the lid), or does the display lid swivel in the middle like an old toughbook convertible?

Just found this posting over on the PocketCHIP subreddit. Apparently some former employees of the now-defunct Next Thing Computing have started their own SBC/handheld company called Popcorn. They seem to be working along the same lines as Next Thing, with a couple of CHIP-compatible boards in...

If that's all she's after, this probably isn't the best option. My first suggestion would be the bittboy pocket-go. It's a lot smaller (more pocketable), slightly cheaper, and a little less janky. If she prefers the vertical form factor of the OG gameboy, the RG300 is pretty nice too.

You can get it in non-limited, plastic form as well. Here's a comparison of the plastic GK350H, the RG350, and the PlayGo.
