- It's a nice cool handheld! I liket it. My favorite part is I can play Pico-8 games anywhere I want.
- The biggest gripe is the X and Y tactile buttons. They feel very different from A and B buttons. The problem occurs when I want to press Y and B buttons simultaneously. Maybe I will get use to it later.
- It's too bright. Fortunately Ed and teams are working on it.
- It feels warm after several minutes of playing.
- I like it because it can run Street Fighter III with full speed. So powerful.
Some questions :
1. I didn't install the heatsink yet. Which is better? Attaching it vertically or horizontally? Is it effective on reducing the heat?
2. I notice that the display is cropped to suit GBA screen size. The LCD resolution is 320x240. What is the resolution of the cropped screen? I notice that when I play NES emulators, I sometimes feel that the display is not scaled perfectly. I looks like a vertical line is missing. I don't know if it's true or not.
3. This is my first Pi. What can I do with it other than playing emulators? What other applications I can install on it? Are the applications the same with standard Raspberry Pi applications?
4. How to connect it to bluetooth speaker? I can connect it to some bluetooth controller with a bluetooth dongle, but it won't detect my bluetooth speaker.
5. What do you guys think about Freeplay Zero/CM3 compared to other handhelds like Gameboy Zero, RetroStone, GPD XD, GPD Win, Vita, etc.
