Looks cool with 4k upscaling support. We’ll have to see about price, since we have the Mister and the upcoming Mars to compare it to.
So in theory an everdrive should (there was an issue with the pocket and some GB X7 due to a signal spike not present on the original Gameboy hardware). The main issue is that it’s a pretty large additional expense if you want a seamless experience (the x5 requires pressing the reset button to save). Say when this comes out it’s $350 with tax and shipping, which is pretty generous I think. You now have to spend an additional $200 for the cart to play roms. Now the choices in this price range are:
I see this appealing to N64 enthusiasts that don’t already have a HDMI mod (current mods aren’t cheap and require soldering to install) or people that really want to play their old carts for that nostalgia hit.
