I concur! They are all highly complex pieces of software each with years of design cruft and their own foibles. I've yet to try any of the "heavyweight" ones like Altium because I don't have a megacorp footing the bill,

This is amazing! I played (very very briefly - like literally a 5 mins hands on) with a braille display sometime in the mid 90's. My dad was an early blind computer + speech user. like Apple II with ECHO-II speech synth kind or early a

Sorry, I didn't infer that you were looking for a commercial sales games platform. You are right about the 32blit, however I don't think you're right about the playdate. If the 32blit is a niche product (which I'll admit

by abrugsch 7y ago
Almost the exact same experience here... Though was a N5X not a N5 and the 9 lite was £120 but it's been a great phone for the money and gets updates with Pie coming in june/July. Bootloader is locked though so once updates stop
