> Who else is into retro gaming?
I know we discussed this already in #synchronet, but ... I thought I'd mentioned here before that I bought a retro gaming handheld (the Powkiddy RGB10 MAX 2) a couple years ago and was super impressed at what you can get for the money these days. I even bought a couple as gifts.
My teenage daughter sort of took ownership of my RGB10 MAX 2, so today I bought myself (for a long flight) a Miyoo Mini Plus (for $59 on Amazon), which has a smaller, little bit lower res screen, and is in the vertical (Gameboy) layout, but mostly the same game/emulation support as the Powkiddy I own. I was also pondering the Anbernic RG35XXH (horizontal) or RG35XXSP (flip), but liked the look of the Onion OS option for the Miyoo better and it was about $10 cheaper <shrug>.
There are *so* many options (hardware, "OS") in the retro gaming handheld space. I do think I'd like something that played all (or most) N64 games well, but that's getting into the multi-hundo price range. The ports to these platforms of course run well on all of them, but volunteer devs can't (or won't) do that for most old console games (though, someone did it for the Super Mario 64). I see the Powkiddy RGB10 MAX 3 is out and there's other updated larger screen/wide devices and some super small form factor ones too. Fun stuff!
