I-Retro video consoles zikwimfashini kwaye nangona zihlala zingenamandla ezixhobo zangoku zokuvelisa, zinabasebenzisi abaninzi kunye nabalandeli kunaba.
Iinkampani zeClockwork ziyifumene le nto kwaye zaye zagqiba kwelokuba zisungule ikhonsoli yeNintendo GameBoy. Eyona khonsoli yomdlalo uphathekayo idumileyo embalini inayo Ilitye elibizwa ngokuba yiGameShell. Eli candelo linomdla kuba liphucula imiba engenayo i-GameBoy, enje ngesikrini sombala, ibhetri egcwalisekayo okanye ikhibhodi enokwenziwa ngokwezifiso.
I-GameShell yikhonsoli yomdlalo wevidiyo eyakhiwe ngayo Hardware Libre, kodwa ngokungafaniyo nezinye iiconsoles, lo ngumzekelo wemodyuli. Yiyo yonke amacandelo ayo ahlanganisiwe aza ahlukaniswa njengoko sifuna, ngendlela enokuthi sitshintshe phambi kokonakala, ngaphambi kohlaziyo olutsha okanye ngokulula ukugcina imodyuli nganye ngokwahlukeneyo.
Ibhetri yesixhobo ibhetri ye-1050 mAh ebonelela ngeeyure ezi-4. Ulawulo kunye nombala wekhusi unonxibelelwano olunokuqhagamshelwa kuyo nayiphi na ibhodi efana neArduino. Ibhodi yomama okanye ibhodi ephambili ibhodi ye-SBC ebizwa ngokuba yiClockwork Pi, Ibhodi ekhumbuza iRaspberry Pi kwaye ine-AllWinner H20 processor ene-512 Mb yenkunzi yegusha.
Ukugcinwa kwangaphakathi kunikezelwa kwi-slot microsd; Unxibelelwano lweGameShell unxibelelwano lwe-wifi, ibluetooth, izibuko le-GPIO kunye nezibuko le-microusb.
Umdlalo weShell uya kumaxabiso malunga ne- $ 89., kodwa ayizukuba kude kube ngo-Epreli 2018 apho sinokufumana esi sixhobo ezivenkileni, kuba ngalo mzuzu sivelisiwe kuphela iphulo lokubuyisa imali eninzi.
Ngokwam, kubonakala ngathi sisixhobo sokuqala kunye nesixhobo esinokubangela umdla kubasebenzisi abaninzi, ubuncinci kubantwana abancinci nabazali abangazukuthenga enye ikhonsoli xa isikrini okanye izithethi zisaphula. Ngelishwa, i-GameShell kuya kufuneka ilinde ithutyana.
