Pocket Max just dropped a BIG number: an early-bird $199.99 price tag for a 7" 1080p AMOLED 144Hz Android handheld powered by Snapdragon 865 ?? We’ll break down the price window, what you actually get for the money, and why this could be one of the most interesting “big-screen” retro handheld plays we’ve seen in a while. ?? Plus, two more retro gems in the mix: ? The Last of Us gets an 8-bit demake you can play right in your browser (because the internet is wonderful and weird). ? And Blaze teases DOOM x Evercade — the question is no longer “can it run DOOM?” but “which DOOM are we getting?!” Stick around for the full rundown, quick takes, and the rest of the week’s retro highlights! ??? #mangmi #PocketMax #RetroHandheld #HandheldGaming #AndroidGaming #AMOLED #144Hz #Snapdragon865 #Emulation #PS2Emulation #Evercade #Doom #RetroGaming #TheLastOfUs #8bit - LINKS MANGMI Pocket Max - https://tinyurl.com/bdf37usv GOG Linux - https://tinyurl.com/y2c4kaue NeoStation - https://tinyurl.com/47xejyxk Last Of Us Demake - https://tinyurl.com/4e2nrj9c New C64 Game - Robo Gems - https://tinyurl.com/6vbf8sbp Doom Evercade - https://tinyurl.com/5fvtuxzt - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS Numskull Facebook Group » https://genxgrownup.com/fbqa G'AIM'E Time Crisis » http://genxgrownup.com/gaime King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 0:43 - MANGMI Pocket Max 3:11 - GOG Linux 3:56 - NeoStation 5:37 - Last Of Us Demake 6:47 - New C64 Game - Robo Gems 8:09 - Doom Evercade

This week on Bit By Bit, Atari makes another big retro move by acquiring rights tied to the first five Wizardry games. Is this just another classic IP pickup, or is Atari quietly building something much bigger in the retro gaming space? We’re also covering Super Mario 64 running on Game Boy Advance, a pocket-sized GameCube made from real Nintendo hardware, the delayed THEA1200 Amiga-style retro computer, Takashi Tezuka retiring from Nintendo, new Neo Geo AES+ details, possible retired Evercade cartridges returning, and the open-source Game Bub FPGA handheld. Eight bits of retro gaming news from the past week — all that and just a little bit more, right here on Bit By Bit! ?? #Atari #Wizardry #RetroGaming #BitByBit #SuperMario64 #GameBoyAdvance #GameCube #Amiga #NeoGeo #Evercade #Nintendo #FPGAHandheld #RetroNews - LINKS Atari Acquires Wizardry - https://tinyurl.com/522kt3pe Keychain GameCube - https://tinyurl.com/bdhtjke5 Evercade News - https://tinyurl.com/mr793pct Super Mario 64 GBA - https://tinyurl.com/3rjtv72k A1200 Pushed Back - https://tinyurl.com/5zbmm45d Neo Geo AES+ Questions - https://tinyurl.com/437tffh9 Takashi Tezuka Retires - https://tinyurl.com/3wtyttx7 Game Bub - https://tinyurl.com/nuv8wj8x - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 0:22 - Atari Acquires Wizardry 4:31 - Keychain GameCube 6:21 - Evercade News 7:19 - Super Mario 64 GBA 8:33 - A1200 Pushed Back 9:51 - Neo Geo AES+ Questions 11:18 - Takashi Tezuka Retires 12:20 - Game Bub

Did Sony just give retro gaming a massive boost? ? This week on Bit By Bit, we’re talking about Sony’s plan to end physical disc production for new PlayStation games starting in 2028 and why that could make retro gaming, physical media, and old-school collecting even more important. We also dig into Evercade’s new Visco Arcade collections, the increasingly strange 3DO revival drama, a hidden Banjo-Kazooie musical surprise, a wild E-Ink Game Boy project, Donkey Kong 64 getting a native PC port, and the debate over AI-generated FPGA cores. If you love retro games, physical media, game preservation, weird hardware, and the occasional industry faceplant, this one’s packed. #RetroGaming #PlayStation #PhysicalGames #Evercade #BitByBit - LINKS Sony Physical Media - https://tinyurl.com/yyeve5mt Evercade Visco Arcade - https://tinyurl.com/4hru68ek 3DO Comeback Part 1 - https://tinyurl.com/3hz3834s 3DO Comeback Part 2 - https://tinyurl.com/yat5zvtr Banjo-Kazooie Secrets - https://tinyurl.com/ystfu725 E-Ink Game Boy - https://tinyurl.com/4t2awau9 Donkey Kong 64 Native PC Port - https://tinyurl.com/2h36fnc9 AI FPGA Cores - https://tinyurl.com/2zszuj8u - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro 00:22 - Sony Physical Media 06:08 - Evercade Visco Arcade 07:31 - 3DO Comeback Part 1 09:17 - 3DO Comeback Part 2 10:58 - Banjo-Kazooie Secrets 13:13 - E-Ink Game Boy 14:13 - Donkey Kong 64 Native PC Port 15:05 - AI FPGA Cores

AYANEO has revealed the KONKR Pocket Advance, a modern retro handheld wrapped in the familiar horizontal shape of the original Game Boy Advance. With a widescreen display and the potential for far more powerful emulation than other GBA-style handhelds, could this little machine eventually handle systems like the PlayStation 2 and GameCube? There’s plenty to be excited about—but AYANEO still hasn’t revealed the processor, price, release date, or final performance specs. Also this week, a Brazilian court orders Microsoft to restore a hacked gamer’s Xbox account and digital library, Mario Kart Wii is recompiled for PC with potential 4K support and more than 200 tracks, and the RPCS3 emulator passes the milestone of making over 75% of the PlayStation 3 library playable. Plus, an unofficial Virtua Racing emulator brings Sega’s arcade classic to PC and Xbox with eight-player online racing, Evercade raises cartridge prices in the UK and Europe, Super Mario 64 somehow becomes “sort of” functional on the Panasonic 3DO, and Afterplay reveals that PSP and Dreamcast support are the most likely additions coming next to its browser-based emulation platform.
