New Evercade handheld announced

Good question. I don’t know, perhaps wide screens are cheaper to produce since those are more common nowadays?

Games can be stretched to fit the screen, though. I’m sure there are some sickos out there who actually make use of that option :crazy_face:

The modern games on it will, like Cathedral mentioned above.

Taito and Capcom vertical handhelds by “Hyper Mega Tech”… with an Evercade slot on the back!

Here are the amazon listings -

I’m interested how these games will be displayed on the 320x240p display.

Bubble Bobble seems to be centred which makes sense, though I wonder about the pixel ratio of the original.

Street Fighter 2 would need to be downscaled to fit.

Most games seem to be arcade releases. Only one in each isn’t.

Also of interest:

Hmm yeah I like the form factor and price, but yes resolution could be an issue.

I don’t know if we have a main Evercade thread here but I finally gave in and got a system - the older EXP handheld that includes the Capcom games.

It’s a pretty cool device and idea, although not exactly with an available library that fits my tastes… but maybe that’s a good thing? There are a lot of games available that I’ve had access to on emus forever but have never tried.

I’m not sure what my first cart will be… I love Neo Geo but have played all of those games. Maybe time to get into Toaplan shooters??

My dream carts would be a Treasure collection and anything from Cave. I’m sure Treasure would be a license mess. A man can dream. If Sega would hop in man I’d love arcade Fantasy Zone and Flicky ports!

I’ve been doing some experiments with the Llamatron source code :wink: and was looking at the Jeff Minter collection today…

But I don’t really need another device. Maybe.
