Does anyone here do their gaming on an SBC or hardware emulation machine? I’m considering trying to start an instance for these machines and am curious if there’s much desire

Maybe you were searching for the whole term? Maybe search was local vs all? Who knows community searches can be wonky.

I’m really into these machines, particularly Anbernic and Retroid. I’m already in the linked group and on the Retro Handhelds Discord. Hoping to see content here!

I just made a magazine for Retroid devices on Kbin. I’m going around looking for people who might be interested in joining.

I’m interested in joining, the retroid link you posted is giving me a 404 though

I have to admit every time I see one I really get the urge to buy one. But personally I prefer buying older systems and putting emulators on them. The PSP is a classic for instance.

Pi 3B+ and RG351V here reporting in. They’re decent, although I think a Steam Deck with dock and desktop PC ran like a HTPC to your TV are probably a better setup if you’re willing to put more time into it.

I have an OrangePi Zero 2 setup as a console under my TV. The zero 3 just came out and it $15. Does all 16 bit consoles, can run Linux or android (android works better for emulator)

Anyways I’ll join if you make a !SBCgaming or something like that.
