https://www.retrorgb.com/titos-ultimate-game-gear-2025-build.html

🕹️ Revive Your Game Gear: A Modern Upgrade! 🕹️

Want to breathe new life into your old Sega Game Gear? This build shows how to create a nearly new handheld using the original processor and cartridge slot, but replacing everything else!

Here’s what’s cool:

• Modernized Internals: New motherboard, high-quality screen, rechargeable batteries, HDMI-out, and even an FM sound module for better SMS game audio.

Original Feel: Keeps the original ASIC processor for a 100% authentic gameplay experience. It feels* like the Game Gear you remember!

• Options for All: You can buy components individually or get a pre-built unit.
• Important Note: ALL Game Gear consoles need capacitor replacements ASAP – they leak and destroy the motherboard! ⚠️

Where to learn more/buy:

• SYF Store: https://syf.nl/
• High Score Tech: https://highscoretech.myshopify.com/
• Retro Gear Customs: https://retrogearcustoms.com/

Worth noting: The Analogue Pocket with the Game Gear adapter is a simpler (and potentially cheaper) route, but this build is for the purists who want the original experience with modern reliability! ✨

🎮 MagicX Touch One 35: PS Vita Teased! 🎮

MagicX is hyping up their new handheld, the Touch One 35, with a short clip showing it running PS Vita games! Here’s the lowdown:

PS Vita Potential: The device appears capable of running some Vita titles at full speed, though emulation is still early stages. Don’t buy solely* for this yet!

• Retro Focus: It’s aimed at filling a gap in the handheld market – likely great for Nintendo DS and other retro emulation.

Specs So Far: Features a 960×640 3:2 display, two* D-pads (perfect for vertical “TATE” gaming), and a power-efficient MediaTek Helio P65 processor.

Mystery Manufacturer: Another company (potentially linked to MagicX) just announced three* handhelds of their own, adding to the excitement (and vagueness!).

• Still Waiting: Official specs, pricing, and release date are still under wraps. Stay tuned for updates!
