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

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

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?

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

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
