Much, *much* more interesting is the POOM - an Arduboy-inspired #microcontroller powered handheld games console which doubles as an electronics, communication, and even security mutlitool like the Flipper Zero.

There's even talk of adding full compatibility with #Arduboy games, which'd give it a decent catalogue.

POOM Combines Arduboy-Inspired Gaming with Maker, Tinkerer, and Security Researcher Tools

An Espressif ESP32-C5 gives this little handheld console an impressive array of capabilities — including "Beast Mode."

2台で対戦もOK。ポケット8ビット機でレトロゲーム魂を呼び覚まそう

ポケットから出すのはレトロゲーム機。1989年4月に発売された任天堂の携帯ゲーム機「ゲームボーイ」。時代を超えた名機なのは誰もが認めるところですが、技術の進んだ今の時代に持ち歩いている人はレアかと思います。多くの携帯ゲームはNintendo Switchかスマホに取って代わられましたが、もし他に良い選択肢があるなら手に取る人も多いはず。2025年に転生したゲームボーイARDUBOYの「FX-C」

The Arduboy is a rare example of an open source video game console. The company just announced that it is releasing a new model in December 2025 with USB-C and link cable (how nostalgic!) support. I find this intriguing. However, I bought an Arduboy about a year ago and have not really used it yet. Now that I finally set up my Anbernic RG351V with AmberELEC, I should cross one other handheld game to-do item off my list (especially since no OS change is required for my Arduboy).

[Note] Arduboy FX-C Coming in December 2025

I share some brief thoughts on the announcement of the upcoming Arduboy FX-C, which adds USB-C and link cable support to the open source gaming handheld.

Lilbits: Arduboy FX-C, AYANEO AM03, OneXFly Apex announcements… and maybe Windows 11 will actually shut down when it’s supposed to soon

Developer Kevin Bates has been making Arduboy handheld game consoles for more than a decade, bringing together Arduino hardware and support for 8-bit homebrew games into portable, programmable devices.

The latest is the newly announced Arduboy FX-C, which brings some modern features like a USB-C port and some retro features… like support for playing multiplayer games by connecting two units […]

以前からちょこちょこ言及があった #Arduboy FX-C、予約注文が始まったみたい。なかなか渋いカラーリングではないですか。
2台を繋いで通信する場合、USB ケーブル内に I2C の信号がそのまま流れるのかな。

New blog post time!

This week's game is Under the Tower, an RPG for the Arduboy (and Gamebuino) that you can complete in 1-2 hours. The particular format it takes forces it to shed a lot of the things you'd expect in a RPG, creating a unique experience with a focus on character-specific abilities:
