For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

The GBA SP is still a fantastic piece of hardware for pocket gaming despite being over 20 years old.
That is definitely a shop, though. The official spec sheet from Nintendo's site states it only has a resolution of 240x160 pixels.
If it's not a shop, it's an aftermarket device/screen, not original hardware.
Looks like an edit to me.
it most definitely is, the bottom corners of the display give it away
My pc budget in 2025.
While this looks like a Photoshop, it is actually possible. It's an Anbernic SP and you can run Windows 95 on it via DOSBox and Bluetooth mouse.
Yeah I was gna say anberic 35xx sp?
That's actually my dream. I'm working on an OS for the GBA just to make this happen
Nice! Is there a project one can follow?

Oh god that was eighteen years ago.
Running ECU tuning software (I'm pretty sure?) On a GBA SP is perfect. Gotta tune with hardware from the era!
(Yes I'm aware it's a photoshop)
When you get tired of running Doom on a pencil, and need a new challenge to face... :-P
I would Imagine a SBC? and an LCD.
There are knockoff consoles that can run linux, and thus dosbox and qemu, if you get the right install on it's sd card.
Oh god imagine doing the CTR+ALT+DELETE
