Tiny PocketSprite Packs a Pile of Games
Feb-15-18
The tiny PocketSprite lets you carry a world of video games in your pocket.

The PocketSprite packs a lot into its tiny size, with a full-color OLED screen, speakers, and 520kB of RAM. With its dual-core, 240 MHz ESP32 chip, the tiny game device is more powerful than the original Game Boy, and its onboard emulators enable it to play Game Boy as well as Sega Master System and Game Gear games. The PocketSprite is also open-source, allowing users to create their own programs, and new games can be loaded onto the device via a local WiFi network.

See this looks great but I have gotten used to the comforts of portable consoles that are made for bigger hands.
I don't miss how my old GBA would give me hand cramps trying to play Metroid Fusion for more than an hour.
If I could find a way to make a GBA XL with a fast forward mode for some games that run particularly slow, I'd be down.
You can take a DS Lite, remove the top screen (make a few internal changes), and run it as a GBA. Or there's mods for GBA that let you overclock the CPU.
Surely the DS lite is more cramped than the original GBA? I recently replaced my GBA screen for that reason. (Well, and having a way to actually see Game Boy games.)
Yeah, if you want a handheld for bigger hands, I'd recommend the original DS over the Lite.
