hobbsc<p>i often see the <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/hyperkin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hyperkin</span></a> <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/retron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retron</span></a> devices but the reviews are so bad. i did see there's a separate firmware from a more capable device that you can install on the retron 5 but that's a lot of effort that i don't need to undertake given i have a phone and a computer. i guess at that point i might as well get a <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/misterfpga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>misterfpga</span></a>... or just keep using the consoles/computer/phone that i have. <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrogaming</span></a></p>
hobbsc<p>resisting the urge to go scoop up one of the <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/hyperkin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hyperkin</span></a> <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/retron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retron</span></a> consoles... i've read mixed reviews but it plays a lot of the carts i have. i really don't need another chunk of plastic and silicon though. i was stoked to see there's a <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/retrofreak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrofreak</span></a> port for it and they're sold nearby.</p>
MDMRN<p>I remember the announcements for the Hyperkin Mega95 handheld Sega Genesis / MegaDrive console in early 2024 and...radio silence since.</p><p>When will it drop!?!?</p><p>I...kind of want it.</p><p><a href="https://urusai.social/tags/Mega95" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mega95</span></a> <a href="https://urusai.social/tags/Hyperkin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hyperkin</span></a> <a href="https://urusai.social/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroGaming</span></a> <a href="https://urusai.social/tags/VideoGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VideoGames</span></a> <a href="https://urusai.social/tags/SegaGenesis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SegaGenesis</span></a> <a href="https://urusai.social/tags/Sega" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sega</span></a> <a href="https://urusai.social/tags/SegaMegaDrive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SegaMegaDrive</span></a> <a href="https://urusai.social/tags/MegaDrive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MegaDrive</span></a></p>
hobbsc<p>Sometimes I get a wild hair and feel like collecting for a <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrogaming</span></a> system again. At one time I had a massive <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/atari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atari</span></a> <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/jaguar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jaguar</span></a> collection that I ended up selling for charity. I have a bunch of cartridges for different systems already and the thought of more clutter is annoying. Plus I have endless games available on the <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/xbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xbox</span></a>, <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>android</span></a>, etc. </p><p>Sometimes I consider maybe a <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/hyperkin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hyperkin</span></a> <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/retron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retron</span></a> or whatever competitor runs <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/retrofreak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrofreak</span></a> but I dont like the original systems controllers much. </p><p>Cont...</p>
