Neat, but the ship has sailed for me.
The problem I have with these emu handhelds, is it's 25 years too late for me. I loved 80's arcade games and early NES/SNES/Genesis etc stuff... 25 years ago. I had a PS Vita with an emu load and it was cool.... but....
Nostalgia is a crazy thing. We think we want this to play old games, but now that we're old, they don't stick the landing. And the current gen of people looking at these things don't give a crap about 25+ year old games.

Up to N64/ some Dreamcast/some PSP (includes GBA/DS). It's recommended to source your own. Not sure what Linux OS is made for this since it's relatively new, but Android-based GammaOS Core is available.

Nah, I still fire up some old games. A good game doesn't need high end graphics, and I still fire up some super Mario 3 and punch out. Plus finding old games that were great but never played is fun. Dreamcast and PSP are mainly what I play now, but also a bit of OG PlayStation. Like someone else mentioned Batocera is great. Throw it on a drive, and fill it with games. You can then plug it into any computer, and hours of fun can be had.

Cool rant. Not much to do with the deal though.

Couldn't agree more. I bought a similar handheld device last year to play these retro games that I used to play in the 90s or early 2000s. Only played on this device for maybe an hour or so. The fire isn't there anymore. Not saying they are bad games. I just don't get time and if I have time, I would rather spend it on doing something efficient. Current generation doesn't give a damn about these 25-30 years old games. I have a feeling that these devices will go out of fashion in the next 5 to 10 years because our generation will be too old to have time to play these retro games and current generation will not have any interest in playing them.
