Never heard of them before, but seems pretty interesting. According the the article they’ve released hardware before to play older games.

    Wouldn’t it be better to just emulate the Switch on a computer?

    Some people like to play on their physical cartridges, so I understand the appeal. It has also Nanoloop embedded on it, and (if the sound is good enough) could be used to run LSDJ too. I guess some chiptuners are interested in it.

    I personally find it a bit pricey to just play on my old carts, and I wonder what a 665ppi screen (with 100x the original resolution) could bring to gameboy games.

      Currently I am not sure if yuzu (switch emulator) is super stable. But in any regard analogue doesn’t run switch games.

      But I think it does have a microsd slot for homebrew games (not sure how much they locked it down)

        I was facetious. Each time a retro console comes out, there’s always someone to tell “why not use an emulator?”. I was suggesting using a PC to emulate a Switch to emulate a GameBoy :)

          Ahhh whoosh on my part ha. But after Nintendo drops support for the switch I would love to look at loading up some custom ROMs/firmware onto it and get some emulators running.
