32blit Retro-inspired Homebrew Handheld with Open-source Firmware


Thank you! I still remember the GP2X fondly although I sold mine years and years and years ago mostly due to it gobbling AA batteries faster than I could supply them!

I really hope 32blit captures the same lightning in a bottle communities like this have found. While it’s super awesome to l build something like this, I’m most excited to see what some of the godly skilled programmers out here manage to squeeze out of it.

Over the last few days I’ve been doing a weird complementary mix of writing blog posts and enhancing our tooling- silly but useful things like built-in video capture for Windows/Linux targets and better make based tooling for starting/testing projects.
 
The STM32 part we're using has been tested and approved at 480MHz, a 20% overclock from the original 400MHz clock speed. This predictably has pretty much direct translation to framerate improvement (since it's mostly CPU bound as there's no GPU).
