Hey y’all. First post on Lemmy!
I want to go back and play my favorite GameBoy games, and want to find the best way to do this on a handheld device. I have lots of cartridges, but ROM support would be nice! I’ve looked at Steamdeck but I’m not sold on it yet… the Analogue Pocket looks lush but expensive. The Miyoo Mini Plus looks promising, and the RG353V almost looks too good to be true. I specifically want to play GameBoy and GameBoy Color games, bonus points if it can do GameBoy Advance.
What say y’all?
the question I would ask along these lines is which systems have a screen that can do a perfect integer upscale for GB games? so that the pixels are each doubled or quadrupled etc without ugly scaling issues.
Original GB/GBC resolution was 160x144, which you’re just plain not going to find a perfect integer match for. You’ll have to either settle for interpolation or black bars around all 4 sides. I guess the least-worst panel would be 1280x720, because at least that would perfectly fill the panel vertically at 5x integer scaling with just large pillarboxes.
