As an alternative for people interested in developing on handhelds like this, homebrew for old consoles (PSP, 3DS, etc) is always fun. There are also hundreds of millions of those still floating around, so there’s a real chance people will actually play your game, and you potentially contribute to delaying their trip to the landfill.
- agentultra 4y agoTruth! I do homebrew on my N2DSXL and the developer tooling there is fantastic [0]. Same with NES and even older handhelds like the DMG-001. The nice thing about the Steam Deck though is that you can carry around your development environment on the same machine. You still have to cross-compile to reach the 3DS and such.

I'm tinkering with 3D-printed slide-out landscape keyboards, but there are a lot of commercially available bluetoth keyboard cases. 1. The 2014 Nexus 7 packs a FHD screen compare to the 720 in TFA. Its display is shockingly crisp for an 8-year-old device

- sangnoir 4y agoDevice wiki pages on Lineage are enough. The process isn't complicated, and boils down to a handful of steps after downloading the requisite files. Off the top off my head: 1. Enable ADB on device 2. Unlock the bootloader 3. Use fastboot to install TWRP 4. Boot into recovery and use TWRP to complete installation from zip files (Android ROM, Google apps)
- intelVISA 4y agoAwesome, much the same ish, I was a bit concerned w/ how locked down some bootloaders can be now.
