    Request - Gole 1 Mini PC (Not the Gole 1 Plus)

    Does anyone have a working Gole 1 Mini PC they might be willing to sell? These are extremely difficult to find unless you go shopping on Alibaba. I accidentally bricked mine, but I hate having something that CAN work, but doesn't because of something stupid softwarewise. Even if you've got a...

    The World's Most Powerful Pocket-Sized PC

    And, of course, turned out to be a scam. No surprise there.

    Odroid-Go Advance

    There's a few other units that share similar structure to this one but nowhere near the price point. Dust doesn't really seem to be a problem at this point and if it does, could just blow it out with a little vacuum. The LCD sits so snugly against the front frame I'd be surprised if you got dust...

    Odroid-Go Advance

    I actually have two of these and I think they're potentially amazing devices. Right now, the big problem is a mature OS. I also have an RG350 I've been comparing notes on, and each have their pros and cons, but the OGA is probably my favorite handheld at this point. Right now the known...

    RetroStone

    The Retrostone 2 will have a proper 640x480 HDMI-fed screen, making the higher resolution look a lot sharper and clearer. Also, the A20 will be used instead of the H3 which means that proper hardware acceleration will be viable. The upgraded unit will also have a soft power switch instead of a...

    Black case for Pandora.

    Don't crush my dreams. :)

    Black case for Pandora.

    Wouldn't happen to have any Blue ones for a Rebirth laying around, would anyone? :)

    Raspberry Pi 4 released

    RPI 3 complains constantly about brownouts with the lightning symbol on the top right corner. I've also noticed slowdown when doing something like PSX emulation. I've fiddled with different settings in hopes of solving the problem with the other power supplies but it's hit or miss. Only the...

    Future of the CPU board?

    Actually, I would totally love to see something like this, but based on a 486dx4/100. Reason being is that a TON of things written around the time period of the 286,386 and 486 lines were best run on a 486dx4/100. It would be the definitive time period for which to build a 'retro' computer for...

    Raspberry Pi 4 released

    Downside, is that you have to have at *least* a 3 amp power supply that doesn't drop the 5v down too low or it will complain about brownouts. Experienced that a lot with my 3B, and various different power supplies. Measured voltage was frequently around the 4.65v region (or less) with a few of...

    Unusual screen tearing in GBC emulators

    I've noticed that some of the emulators (C64, for example) have Desktop switching enabled, so if you hold the right shoulder button and press right, it will send a signal to the Pandora to switch desktops even if you have multiple desktops turned off. Not all of those breeds of emulators do it...

    GPD WIN MAX ANNOUNCED

    Though I hear apparently one of the reasons a lot of other D-pads suck so much, is because Nintendo has a patent on the little ball shape on the bottom of the D-Pad that makes it rock around in the socket smoothly, so a lot of companies either poorly imitate it or, as in the case of some cheaper...

    RetroStone

    I got the same email! It's on their Facebook, too. I'm giving it serious consideration. The downsides I have concerns with are some slightly sharp edges (there's a screw hole on the bottom left corner of the device that has a sharp point as part of the mold that I had to file down), as well as...

    NexDock

    Yeah, you'd need different cables but I presume it would come with a few. If not, they should be fairly easy to obtain. There looks to be a small octopus in one of the lower images which looks like it might handle a USB C and a USB A breakout of some kind. It will be interesting to see what it...

    NexDock

    I'm tempted to see about picking one up, since I missed out on the last one. I could use it with various things, like my GPD Win.
