Trying to identify this ESP32 Module
I’m trying to port Retro-GO to one of these tiny gaming handhelds and I wanted to compile a list of the parts used, but I’m having trouble identifying the ESP32 module used since it looks like the telltale metal shield on the module was removed. Any clues?

Original Odroid go - Software updates?
https://github.com/ducalex/retro-go/releases/tag/1.31.1 There are a couple cool 3rd party images. This one is my favorite, and has tons of cool features, including a slow snes core.

Pocket-Sized Doom Is Actually Playable
No I don’t! It would be a fun toy, but it’s definitely underpowered… since it uses a esp32 chip instead of something like a raspberry pi (like other portable emulators do). I might buy one if I can find it for cheap, and add the Retro-go firmware.

Adafruit upcoming handheld console may be the smallest (playable) DOOM device
During development of this device they ported (info here) Retro-32 to the device, a multi-emulator software developed originally for Odroid-GO, that support PrBoom.

What is your favorite handheld to play GB(C) games?
This. With the firmware from ducalex (https://github.com/ducalex/retro-go) the emulation for GB[C] and NES is excellent.

Quite a few firmwares available (RetroESP32 is my personal favorite) that improved performance and added new emulators over the original OS.

Gameboy Esp32, yes please! Picking this up the second it releases.
I wonder where the OS came from. I kind of expected to see Retro-ESP32 when it booted up 😅
