Man, using the pocket chip just isn't fun.
I feel like it *could* be, but the software just isn't fun.
Like, If I just stayed in pico-8, that'd be fun, except it runs at the wrong resolution and makes the already small screen feel even smaller via letterboxing.
I just ... I need to hook a real keyboard up to this thing, strip out all of the included software, and spend a weekend loading new software, configuring that software, and building my own little utilities to make it not suck.
I've used a lot of handhelds.
The various palm pilots were fun! Their software seemed fast most of the time, and it worked reasonably well.
The hp 200LX was fun! It had some limitations, but I genuinely enjoyed using it.
Hell, sometimes even homebrew software on the DS was fun.
The #pocketChip, so far, is just a mildly disappointing chore.

@ajroach42 yeah, it feels like that, doesn't it? it's like a glorified pico8 handheld
i wish it weren't but i think i get more joy out of emulators on the psp than on the pocketchip, even if the pocketchip ones run better
@ajroach42 well, i think they just used surplus psp screens
it's literally the same lcd
@squirrel and even that feels half done.
Pico-8 was made for square screens, not wide screens.
No software actually likes this screen resolution. Not even cli stuff.
