I just learned about the whole idea of retro handhelds the other day and I had no idea there were so many options! These look like they would be really fun, but I would have no idea how to load games onto them (because it looks like they don’t use cartridges for the most part?). That’s beyond my tech knowledge, ha ha!

Emulators run ROM images of the cartridges. There are some rather arcane devices that can create these for you, but most people just download them (usually from a website or torrent).

Most of them come already full of games. Don’t worry about whether that’s legal.

Lol i like that they come with games bc its easier, but i feel like once the big companies catch on, that will be the downfall of the industry

There are so many! The PlayDate and some of the clamshell ones look really neat!

I am on the cusp of getting my playdate and I am very excited for it! Watching the devs in the community discord work is both inspiring and gets me excited for the creative games that are out for it and that are coming up.

Group 4 went so quickly, and 5 has started strong!

Indeed, and you’re 1000 orders before me 😅

LOL yeah, but at the current rate that’s only a day or two difference!

Some of those for sub-$100 don't look awful.

I won't ever use them instead of my steam deck though.

Agreed, but having a pocketable handheld is a nice side piece.
