- GB Boy color
playing retro games with a portable device
| device | pros/cons |
|---|---|
| Nintendo switch | runs linux, has MMU, is fast. But needs a payload via USB after each boot. |
| GPi case | runs linux, has MMU, but is quite slow, not good enough for SNES games? |
| Nintendo DS | runs linux 2.6 kernels, but needs RAM expansion over default 4MB. Low specs. |
| Sony PSP | Has no MMU, PSPlinux exists. PSP has low hardware specs thou. |
| Sony PS Vita | As os 2019 active developmenthttps://github.com/xerpi/vita-linux-loader, Vita has 512MB RAM |
| Rockpi4 | more free, 6 core, raspi4 |
| ESPboy | to weak for emulation |
| MiSTer | FPGA emulation introduction, also Retronauts |
| Mega65 | Aimed at being easy to understand |
| Steckschwein | Aimed at being easy to understand |
| Gigatron | Aimed at being easy to understand |
RISC-V
- FPGA (reprogrammable hardware) could be used.
- Orange Crab, Lattice ECP5 FPGA
- ULX3S, FPGA ESP32, should start shipping 2020-06-16 for $115, WLAN, 32mb RAM
- This one looks actually really really nice! Has USB, Wifi, Video out
- Fomu is aimed at teaching FPGAs basics (Micropython, verilog), can not connect devices/load code from a microSD card
- AndeShape FPGA boards, likely ~$1000
- iCEBreaker FPGA Development Board
- Lattice iCE40UP5k FPGA, capable of hosting CPU soft cores such as picorv32, picosoc, and RISC-V
- the board has no NIC
- https://www.crowdsupply.com/ has some interesting projects
- KVM-guest on x86 can emulate RISC-V. Details from fedoraproject.org
- HiFive Unleashed: to it's expensive.. currently at $999. I was looking for raspi scale performance wise.
