Just a friendly post about if you're after what the kids are calling an SBC device, you can get much better performing handhelds for a fraction of the price that support NES, SNES, PS1, etc.

The Playdate is a niche.
They are cool consumption devices, and I have one myself. But the important thing, at least for me, is they don't run Playdate games. And they don't have any easy way for developers like myself to make a living making games for them. I wish they did because there are a heck of a lot of them out there! You're right that the Playdate is a niche, but it's a nice one that I can make a living working on.
How much money can one make from selling a playdate game?
Of course, it depends. Here's one take: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlaydateConsole/comments/17p8pdp/co...
