Finally got this after two months of waiting! A bit uncomfortable and heats up easily, but it's still great to have a retro handheld of my own. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I spent the whole day flashing the MiyooCFW firmware onto it, customizing the menus, and testing which games ran well and which didn't (and constantly trying and failing to get Doom to run on it); I think I'm pretty happy with the end results now.

Well, it seems to be considered retro gaming as soon as the console (or Game in case of PC) is discontinued. So the Xbox(the one older than the one out now, which I don’t know how they are called, because xbox names are strange), PS4, wii u and the 3ds are already retro game consoles per that definition.

    That's a fair assessment, though I personally believe there should be a distinction between "previous generation" and "retro". When the PS3 was a current-gen console, the PS2 and PS1 weren't really seen as retro, just old and outdated.

    Then again, I guess it's a distinction without much of a difference. ^^"

    If we look only at the word retro alone, we see, that is very loosely defined 😂

    So, all consoles that were used in the timeframe of 20 years starting between 1995 and 2005 🤪 Which consoles are those, and does this imply that the earliest consoles are now not retro anymore? Are they now “ancient consoles”? Is then ancientgaming? 🤔😆
