These little game things are $40. I have one. They use an old style removable cell phone battery and have a screen that isn't great (320x240 though similar to the one described in the article). It runs linux but Lamentably I don't think its easy to install your own version.

- mhitza 5y agoIs it possible to load Pico 8 on that thing?
- acomjean 5y agoI haven’t though I just started doing some pico8 development. It would seem almost ideal for those kind of games. It seems like you can. Pico8 does have a raspberry pi (ARM cpu version) Through retro-arch? I’m not sure how it all goes together. https://retrogamecorps.com/2021/02/01/review-powkiddy-v90/amp/ https://retrogamecorps.com/2021/02/01/review-powkiddy-v90/am...

- dingdingdang 5y agoHave one too, got it at £27 with delivery, very nice hardware (especially with the custom miyoocfw firmware installed). If a device like this, with perhaps slightly larger screen & wifi, was integrated with keyboard (like the rpi 400) one would have killer device for nerd-working/gaming on the go.
- nfriedly 5y agoIf you haven't already, please do yourself a favor and check out the Miyoo custom frimware for the v90 - https://github.com/TriForceX/MiyooCFW https://github.com/TriForceX/MiyooCFW It makes a fun little device that much better. Plus it's a good starting point if you want to try doing your own Linux stuff on it.
