The "project" I'm doing is mostly about learning some new skills, it is a personal project that I'm doing on the side. It would be a handheld game console, mostly for GB or NES emulation.
So I guess a Raspberry Pi would be a better target,
not really.
but... well, I rather like the idea of EOMA-68. My concept would be similar to the handheld ZEOMA console, but more reminiscent of the GameBoy. The benefit of using the EOMA-68 would be the ability to transfer your games between devices very easily.
exactly. and future upgradeability to faster processors... without the effort of having to do a total redesign of the base console.
this is why manuel decided to base the hand-held console around EOMA68.
Eh, maybe it's not the greatest idea. I could just use a raspberry pi and it would work mostly the same.
you'll still have exactly the same issues if you use a raspberry pi. you'll still need to track down a suitable LCD. you'll still have to work out the interface interoperability.
read these build instructions and tell me if you think it's a good idea:
