Linux-based phone still ‘runs 99% of Android apps’ so you can do more with it, if you wish.

How the C64 ultimate is not overpriced? Okay that is using the legit parts of the original commodore and simulating the original hardware but comparing it with any retro handheld is just too overpriced
It’s using an FPGA for hardware accurate emulation which costs more than the ARM chips in retro handheld emulators, and is a bespoke fairly large product made in relatively small batches. For what if is, it’s somewhat reasonably priced compared to its manufacturing costs.
I can’t argue that for most people the value prospect isn’t worth it, since the C64 itself isn’t really a compelling platform except to specific retro PC enthusiasts, but for those who want a proper modern C64 for nostalgia sake, it’s a fair deal.
hmmmm okay that makes sense.
Btw 2 people with Chrono Trigger avatar debating retro stuff is lmao
