Retro Handhelds | RetroStone 2: A Blast From the Past | Zu Reviews! @retrohandhelds | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
👉Phoenix-level patron Jaylash sent Zu and Gary an old RetroStone 2 to review. The RetroStone 2 was a Kickstarter unit from 2020 with a SBC encased in a handheld with buttons and a screen. As a predecessor to the "modern" handhelds we use today, the RetroStone 2 is somewhat archaic, but when they occasionally go on sale for $20, do they become a bargain-basement deal?!?
Tune in and watch Zu struggle to remember how to set up an old SBC device. Will he brick it during the firmware installation? Will he lose at tutorial stages in old video games? Will he realize that this old handheld could be a tinkerer's fun weekend project at the right price? Click the play button and see for yourself!
