    It’s using an FPGA for hardware accurate emulation which costs more than the ARM chips in retro handheld emulators, and is a bespoke fairly large product made in relatively small batches. For what if is, it’s somewhat reasonably priced compared to its manufacturing costs.

    hmmmm okay that makes sense.

    Btw 2 people with Chrono Trigger avatar debating retro stuff is lmao

      Tbh I wouldn’t have known your avatar was from that if you hadn’t said anything, as I only played Chronotrigger for maybe an hour or so at a friend’s house when I was a kid and don’t really remember much except for the time traveling machine they had from my friend’s save game, and the girl at the start of the game at the fair :p
