      Yes. There are, and it’s fucking awesome because it’s a space where we can say “the gender of the person who did all this great work has zero negative impact on the wonderful outcome!”

        Looks like the Retroid Flip is what you’re looking for

          Close! But I was hoping for something with 2 physical screens like the DS had, it’s probably a pain to implement though

            Oh yeah i forgot about that. Then your best bet is to get a flashcart for a ds or for a 3ds. You can play emulators on them.

      I got a RG353VS off Amazon a few months back and am loving it. Good speakers, beautiful screen, USB C charging… It came preloaded with a bunch of games.

        That’s not the form factor of an SP though :/ I want it to be able to close so it fits nicely in my pocket

    How come it took 20 years for a popular console? Sure, it probably takes some effort, maybe X-raying the boards, but a schematic can be created by someone with a desoldering oven and multimeter. Or sandpaper and flatbed scanner. At least they’re free.

    Edit: apparently includes full board recreation, that’s better

    Nice!

    You could actually already buy completely custom boards for a few GameBoy models, only transplanting the SoC from an original board.

    But those are sold with an unjustifiably high profit margin, by the “loved by the community but actually quite shady” retro modding stores.
