Certainly one to keep an eye on! Reminds me of the GP2x. . . :cheers:

Dangit! My list of toys to buy keeps getting longer.

Okay, I've read BenHeck's book, been a fan of his website for a long time... but WTF does "synthesized hardware" mean if it's not emulation?
EDIT: reading through it, I don't see that BenHeck is involved, I see that they got a comment from him on it.
EDIT2: There it is... he did the case.
RandyT:
It looks interesting, but to be honest, how much "fidelity" does one really need with an 8-bit game that originally ran at 1mhz..or less.
To me, the project looks like a non-starter, and the case design is less than inspired.
If this kind of thing gets you going, do yourself a favor and pick up a GP2X. It's still software emulation, but it's also a lot more capable.
Just my opinion.

They obviously went for the retro, gameboy element. And it sounds like they're doing the same as digital music device companies have done, all following Line6 I might add, of hardware modeling.
