Comment on How Should I Retro? (OC, Long Post)
LilBagOfBunnies@lemmy.world 10 months agoDamn, that thing looks rad! I hadn’t heard of it before, but I had thought to include a section about modern retro systems like the Analogue Pocket, but it felt a little long when all was said and done. Thank you for sharing the video!

Its an absolutely amazing system. Doesn’t just emulate retro consoles either, but can do old computers, like Apple II and the Commodore. Since, to the software running on it, it’s “real” hardware, games work as they did originally, for better or worse.
Some of the “cores” (configurations that mimic hardware) have the ability to apply different patches, as well as “hibernate” state, so you can get quick-resume like functionality (no need to beat all of Super Mario Bros or Metal Slug in one sitting)
