Arduboy Games
Too bad we cannot 'pull' or easily convert the 200+ games from Arduboy into the Playdate. The screen looks similar in size.

[media] I spent time porting rust to the Nntendo DS
I'd suggest something like https://www.arduboy.com/ although I'm not sure anyone has got Rust working well with it.

Built a handheld game. It has 8 different games including Tetris and Snake. Powers with USB or uses AAA batteries.
If you aren't interested in the building part, I suggest the Arduboy

8bitworkshop
My personal favorite 8-bit gaming machine is the Arduboy. They combine an Atmega 32u4 with a minimum of hardware to create a surprisingly good console.
You can modify and extend it to your hearts content and there's a usable software stack and helpful community grown up around it.

My Thumbys are here!
You could look into Arduboy- same idea, credit-card sized unit so it's actually playable. It does cost more- but it's been out longer so there's a lot more stuff for it. If you buy the new FX model, it has 200 games preloaded on it. I've got that & the original kickstarter unit, they're actually pretty fun!

Playdate is a magical indie game machine
It's not supposed to be an emulation console, it's supposed to be a nicer arduboy.

[media] I spent time porting rust to the Nntendo DS
Have you had any thoughts of porting the C lib to rust rather than a safe wrapper around the bindings? It would be a rather unsafe lib at first but could keep it all Rust. Just an idea though, safe wrappers are always good! Here is an example of an unofficial 3ds port.

[2022] Running Solutions on the Nintendo Switch
The other is a unofficial and only on github crate that is an almost full Rust implementation of libctru that allows for more control but utilizes a lot more unsafe because of system calls. This still includes some bindings from the original library. It can be found here.
What are some alternatives?
