That sounds so cool. I remember hearing so much about homebrew stuff back then.

Thats neat! I would too if I had one. I guess they might be still available on the used market if I looked for one but I like the idea of using handhelds on the bed. I have only played a few console games on emulators so there is so much I could play when I get one. Alternatively I could also buy a sipeed tang fpga and get two hobbies at the price of one.
Those things are expensive and have expensive games but I did wish for a console in my childhood. I would buy a retro game handheld though. All the games I never got to play for around 60-100 dollars. Plus the prices we have to pay here is a lot more than what Americans and Europeans are used to paying and the pay is abysmal but I see people save up for years or buy with loans and installments.
I had fond memories of that game
Sorry but it is woke if you feel something waking inside you 😮💨
I thought you had to screw around to flash it with a JTAG connector or something but that makes it convenient. I didn't know about gameshark either tbh. They used to sell pirated video game cd/dvds for pennies on the street here since the late 90s but I assumed they were all for PC. Magazines always gave free cds which was nice. I didn't know any kids with playstation or xbox personally but nes era stuff is something I did see. The old psp was kind of common as well when it came out.
