A new handheld gaming device called GameGadget will be released worldwide by the end of this year, it has been announced today.
CalmDownTom says, "So why should anyone buy the Game Gadget? The simple answer is that they shouldn’t. Even if it worked it wouldn’t be worth buying. If after all this you still think you will buy one then just let me know. You can have mine. I’m not joking. It’s a disaster."
The GameGadget digital download store has opened its binary doors providing owners of the GameGadget device access to thousands of low priced games.
Today marks the launch of GameGadget’s digital store front: where current and future GameGadget owners will be able to buy retro licensed games via an iTunes like interface...
Agreed, even ignoring the story you can just see the website and it raises flags.
If they want me to buy a handheld and games, they need a cleaner looking interface.
At first I thought this device was nothing more than a re-branded Dingoo. But then I read the full press release on the official site. They have some very ambitious plans for this open source portable. I wish them luck and I will be watching this project with great interest.
Sweet, has an SD card so probably will load ROMs onto the emulators as it sounds it's for older games, awesome. I hope the accuracy is good though and expandable/patchable. If it isn't accurate it's useless. The NES PowerPak flash cart is upgradeable with it's mappers and so will be the newest Nintendo on a Chip emulator device being developed by some NESDev members that so you can upgrade the emulator or even add you own or upgrade it. It even does multiple systems like Atari, Coleco, SMS, and more can be added. I hope this is as good as that, but we need more details. But still, has great promise.
