kinda like a bicycle to a ferrari.How does this Playdate compare spec wise to the new Steamdeck?
Yea, i watched a deeper dive on the games, they are like mini-flash games from 2002. For 180 dollars you get asteroids and snake.Devices like this are kinda pointless if you have a smart phone.
I was interested in this, but yeah, it's overpriced garbage, honestly. Also, no backlight on the screen, so it's unusable if it's not sunny out. The only thing going for it is the e-ink display that looks great in direct sunlight, but that's about it. Get an Analogue Pocket if you want a 'premium' build device. At least with that you can dump any GB/GBC ROM you want on it now.
Depends on how it works. If you mean having to use a cartridge for what is ultimately a software emulator, yeah, that's kind of stupid. I don't see the point. The Analogue stuff though is basically 1:1 hardware duplication, and so using an original cart makes sense. Besides, you can always just get a flashcart for the Analogue devices which means no cartridge swapping. That, and they all eventually get hacked to allow one to play ROM files straight from the sd card slot anyways.FPGA does give you better up-scaling, but it limits the amount of emulators they have taken the time to fully-simulate.
Also, I hate modern emulation platforms that still insist on cart-swapping! So I went with an ODROID Go Advance clone (RGB10) for half the Playdate prices.!
