Finally arrived after all the delays. Nice little device, but I kind of wish they'd just left it original size rather than a tiny bit smaller than the real console. I'll be 3D printing and labelling a mini Hucard for it at some stage.

Picked up an Evercade and a couple of extra carts. Got the the premium pack which included 3 carts so far I like it, handheld is large but comfortable, buttons all feel good and d-pad is very Sega Saturn
Its weird these days being restricted to the few included games particularly those I've never heard of or played before but it does make choosing a game a lot simpler

With a bit of soldering I was able to mount the cartridge and read/write to it (using FAT16). Easy enough to replace roms and images if you ever wanted to do such a horrible thing.
But that's my curiosity taken care off so reassembled and back to enjoying the games 0 -

So, what you're saying is that we can go and buy one and you will then modify a cart, soldering in a SD card holder, and we can then load it with our own range of games...

Screen is nice, not IPS but clear and bright enough. Not sure about the battery life yet, haven't even fully charged it yet.
No doubt there are mor powerful emulation handhelds out there but its the whole ecosystem for this with the physical carts & manuals as well as a pretty good handheld make this a much preferable option for me over the zillion aliexpress rom players.
The cartridge cases are number though so it very easy to spot holes in the collection So I'll be ordering a few more of them later on. 0 -

Misc Rage order. Downside of buying online is the condition of Bust a Move and Toy Racer is quite poor and there's too many platinums for my liking which I would have skipped over in person, but I did want to give them a bit of support given the current situation.
On the plus side, everything apart from Burnout Legends is complete.

Yeah that's a problem with buying online sometimes, even pictures can be very misleading.
I picked these up in a charity shop (to go with a psp 1000 a few days back!) , the megadrive collection has a pretty great lineup of games, like 30 of them from bonanza bros to vector man. Without trying I'm building up a bit of a collection of psp games, but for me it's really an emulator machine

The Wipeout games on the PSP are incredibly good, as are the Ridge Racer games, although the second one is basically an expanded version of the first one.
I imported a PSP, back in the day, and I can still see the astounded face on a kid as I powerslided around corners in Ridge Racer, while most youngsters were still playing on their GBAs....

I've never played the PSP Ridge Racer games - really surprised as to how well it holds up in that video!
Kind of have me interested in digging out my PSP and giving the oul homebrew a go again.
Do it! As CiDeRmAn says, its a great piece of kit that was miles ahead at the time (graphically, anyway)
Picked up a couple of rarities there, an original electrocoin undercover cops marquee, I'd say 9.5/10 condition, not bad for 30 years old. Better game than final fight? Hmmm
Even better than that, an original snk Athena marquee, even better condition! I recently tracked down an original board and am waiting for it to arrive, so to come across an original marquee in the meantime is astronomical odds! As far as I know (could well be wrong), "there aren't any pictures of this on the Internet even. So to find the game (rock hard) and marquee (near impossible) within a few weeks of each other... Mad

Pity Athena is a pile of poo to play.
Have good memories of Ridge Racer on the PSP. Banging soundtrack and a joy to play at 60 FPS. I do like the PSP, it had some great games but as a handheld it just didn't really work. Load times, disc based media. The battery was ok but it had no persistence so drained while not in use.
It meant I used the DS a lot more which just functioned better as a handheld and while the PSP had great games, the DS is my favourite console of all time because the library is insanely good.

Athena is a gem of a game! Now, the arcade port to nes is a different story, hit detection, graphics etc. Chalk and cheese
Versus
Also I like these little universe games. Athenas sequel, psycho Soldier, is related to other snk games with the character showing up here and there.
A note about psycho soldier is that it was the first videogame to use actual music samples. The result is funny! It plays during the first level below
And then that was updated for smash bros....
And that's enough valuable information for one day
