Update []:
You know the week cannot begin until techhead Taki Udon has been distracted by one of many side-projects. In this week's episode, the RetroRemake founder is still fiddling with his FPGBA SP handheld - a work-in-progress take on the original clamshell Game Boy Advance SP, which launched back in 2003.
Udon's new video shows him working on the hardware's UI, with a menu-driven system offering features such as save states, screen scaling options, screen filters, screenshot support and what Udon refers to as "Cartridge Loading Performance". As previously reported, the FPGA SP is capable of running original Game Boy Advance games.
No further details are forthcoming regarding the release window or price, though Udon has previously noted they hope to keep the model "around $100". A tall order in this economic climate, but we shall see.
Original Story []: It's a day ending in "y", and so RetroRemake founder Taki Udon is excitedly sharing updates from their big batch of hardware dev projects. This time around, it's in-game footage pulled from the FPGA SP - a handheld emulation console capable of running original Game Boy Advance cartridges.
In the clip, we see the console, which Udon describes as a "passion project", playing one of the GBA's Pokémon variants. The prototype model in the clip is a clear blue colour, with a clamshell casing reminiscent of the original Game Boy Advance SP, which first launched in 2003. Remember the edgy tribal variant? Lulz.
Answering queries in the replies, Udon notes that the device has USB-C output and can run games from SD cards. Udon also notes that the FPGA SP runs GBA carts natively, rather than dumping the ROM into an emulator. In a previous clip, the FPGA SP was seen running N64 title Diddy Kong Racing, though Udon notes that this was just a demonstration of hardware power, rather than any commitment to an N64 focus.
Udon says they hope the finished handheld will retail around $100, though there is no release window yet. As mentioned in the opening, Taki Udon and RetroRemake often have an array of different projects and ideas on the go (just last week they were teasing an FPGA SNES), so those looking to get their clammy mitts on one of these clammy consoles will have to hold on until further info is available. Still, progress is looking positive.
