This was a great video. I'm sort of in this hobbyspace and currently own a Miyoo Mini(OG), RG351P, RG353VS, and an Arc-D. I also have around 100GB of roms(data hording much?) I used to do emulation on my computer years ago but about 2 years ago stumbled upon the handheld emulation world via /r/SBCgaming and it kind of blew my mind that companies were taking ARM processors and creating handhelds that can run stuff from Atari 2600 and TurboGrafix all the way to PSX and N64. If you are at all into retro gaming and wanna be able to couch game or game on the go, definitely look into maybe Anbernic for something affordable.
The chip explanation part of the video was great because even tho it's a hobby of mine, it's all still a lot of smoke and mirrors. I just assume that new systems need way more processing power, which is correct, but I never really took into account that a single ARM chip is doing the work of half a dozen components. And that does make sense.
I also see why the Analog is both so sought after and niche. Hardware emulation is cool as hell. I'll still stick to my software emulation but the whole concept behind it is really neat.
It is!
