Get some ****Tang. Sipeed Announces FPGA Handheld

#

FPGA for what though?

#

Sorry, I'm not knowledgeable enough on the subject lol

#

Also, seems that this is a fair bit smaller than even the GKD Pixel?

#

65x56mm seems seriously wrong

#

Oh that's just the chip ig

#

Oh fucking hell that's a lot of cores

#

Feels too good to be true tbh

#

There must be some kind of catch

#

the catch is that last I checked, they've yet to do anything with their last one

#

so take this with a grain of salt, might never ship or be good notlikeduck

#

actually hold, this is different wtf

#

Okay, so they're basically a vaporware company

#

Good to know

hybrid sparrow
#

compared to last time, they're taking pre-orders while the other one was just vapor

stark sage
#

That's a bit more promising then huh

They are not mister compatible nor compatible with the open FPGA or whatever the Analogue Pocket equivalent is called, so systems like Saturn and N64 are not listed, and not guaranteed there will be a PSX core. They have the advantage of doing this from scratch as opposed to Retroremake that is keeping mister compatibility

Turns out they actually shipped the first batch of the console (not the handheld), and the response seems to be pretty bad so far (looking at the replies to this post)

The first batch of #FPGA #Tang Retro Consoles (for orders placed before Feb 25) has all shipped!
Please check your email for tracking numbers.
