@rubber_jonnie, you need professional help 
May be a Nokia N-Guage
Re: I might as well admit my failure - PS Vita is coming too...
I keep thinking about one, but it would probably have to be a local pickup as I want the screen perfect.
I settled for a PSTV in the end, it does most Vita stuff without the obvious portable aspect. There is a good modding scene.
I've still got my PSP that I bought not long after they were released on a lucky work trip to Japan.

Probably not, and though I had an original GameBoy back in the day, I seem to lack affinity for it, though I do have a GameBoy Advance. I wouldn't mind getting a GameBoy Advance SP again though, I had one for a while and I really did like that little fella.

Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Re: I might as well admit my failure - PS Vita is coming too...
I still have a PSP that I re-cased years back. I was doing PSP repairs for a while, and I still have a bunch of parts. I hacked mine with a Pandora battery and have a bunch of homebrew, plus you can dump ISOs from disc and run them from memory stick.Higgy wrote: Fri May 26, 2023 8:29 am I keep thinking about one, but it would probably have to be a local pickup as I want the screen perfect.

The only reason I wanted a PSVita (or PSTV) was to play TxK from Llamasoft.
Spelunky is ok, has that 16-bit platformer vibe.
