I've been playing with this thing. It's quite neat: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/picosystem?variant=32369546985555 https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/picosystem?variant=323695...
(Note that it's a dev board; if you just want to play AAA games, not the thing to buy. If you want to program a game and show it off, it's what you want.)
- klelatti 5y agoThanks for highlighting this - looks awesome.
- kefabean 5y agoThese are truly fab little devices - i bought a couple for my kids to play simple (not too addictive) games and hopefully get them in to programming. question is, how would one go about compiling Doom for the Picosystem? that would be so cool…
- jlundberg 5y agoThe PicoSystem is really neat and has awesome build quality. One thing I really like about it is the super quick boot compared to all normal devices that need to boot an operating system first. Highly recommended.
- codetiger 5y agoI built a retro style game console for myself and now working on building games on it. Never thought doom is possible without lot of external hardware for RAM and storage https://codetiger.github.io/blog/building-a-retro-style-game-console-in-2022/ https://codetiger.github.io/blog/building-a-retro-style-game...
- officeplant 5y ago+1 for build quailty. I love my PicoSystem even if my goal of learning to program a game for it has fallen flat, ha.
- niutech 5y agoCosting £58.50 it's way too expensive. ESPlay Micro is only $32 and has better specs.
