I’ve been thinking about buying one of these for a while but finally bit the bullet now that companies have started raising prices due to the RAM/chip shortage…

And it turned out to be the best purchase I’ve made in a while! It’s a ton of fun gaming on this little thing. I flashed a custom operating system on it and am now playing Castlevania & Secrets of Mana with RetroAchievements support (which adds achievements and progress tracking to retro games).

I’m also playing a lot of random PICO-8 games since it runs on the device and I can easily browse and play free games on it. Low-key wish I had bought it sooner with how neat it is.

Anybody else have a retro handheld here?

Yeah the Hammer is ALL metal body while the Brick is only the back panel behind the screen being metal. They get warm, but that seems to be the only downside to the trimui handhelds, I have one on my list i want to pick up.
