    I never played duke3d but I grew up playing the side scrollers. I didn’t know they were remastering those. Never heard of the Evercade and unfortunately another handheld isn’t for me.

    However the VS looks like something I could install into my cars headunit along with my Roku for when I’m just chilling, and less maint. than my raspberry. Thanks for this post. I have something to look into here.

      I’m a big fan of Evercade. “Plug and play” is a big part of their philosophy, there is definitely less messing around with the VS than there would be for a Pi or any other RetroArch thing one might create themselves.

      If you’re okay with using Discord, I’d recommend dropping into the Evercade Discord if you have any questions or just wanna hang out - lots of friendly and knowledgeable folks (about Evercade specifically, or retro games in general), regular high score competitions, and it’s just a good vibe. You can find the link in the Evercade website if you’re curious.
