[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 4 points 3 months ago (1 child) Dont most emulation machines do that? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PerfectDark@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) Some still do, most don't these days. Specifically those using Snapdragon, the company has a policy of some kind whereby anyone using that chip for a retro handheld can't sell those cards along with the device. But aside from that, I can only think of one big-big company which does it now: Anbernic. TRIMUI is a smaller company which sells the ROMs on a card also, but now that these devices are such big business...most opt for discretion and don't do the cards. Official companies anyway, I'm sure you can throw a rock and hit an R36S with a card included these days. permalink fedilink source parent
