Sorry, never owned it.

But if you are looking at a GNU/Linux device, I’d suggest to pick something supported by community distributions, such as Knulli or Rocknix.

I think it’s a panel from some phone that is no longer manufactured. But can confirm, it’s gorgeous (they use the same screen on RP Flip 2).

Same! Never posted or commented much on Reddit before, but now I post small reviews on stuff I own and announce libraries I make for Bevy. It’s not much, but it’s something :)

Yes!

Unfortunately, audio through the 3.5mm jack only works if you power on the console with headphones already plugged in.

Also, the setup is opinionated. For example, it stores save games alongside ROMs, while I use the default emulation directories on my PC. This makes syncing saves more difficult and it’s not something you can disable in the emulator setting, they hardcode these directories via scrips.

Lastly, the idle battery life is significantly worse, which matters to me since I prefer to put the device to sleep.

Thanks for sharing the source, subscribed :)

Love it! I planning to post a text-based review after more use.

Yes 🙂

Cool, I didn’t know that SMW central has its own patcher. I used this one: https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/

I also tried with the fingerprint sensor enabled, but managed to reproduce the issue :(

Yes :)

That’s strange - they said they finished shipping. Maybe try reaching out to them.

Ah, you have the antenna issue 😢

I read that it’s possible to fix with a hardware modification, but it’s very difficult.

I find the Pro1 X to be too large for my hands; a phone around 4.5–5" would be ideal.

That’s unfortunate - there aren’t many modern alternatives. Even the F(x)tec is a bit outdated by today’s standards.

What keyboards have you tried?

I’m aware of musl/Linux, uClibc/Linux and other variants - I just wanted to distinguish them from Android since they all use the Linux kernel 🙂

GNU/Linux is just the most common.

I’m guessing cases for this are hard to come by?

Never looked for a case. But it’s a rare beast, I don’t think there is any case for it in the wild 😅

And what about lint/dust/sand

I think it closes quite firmly. So dust doesn’t get inside.

Good point! Another issue is that only FUTO and FlorisBoard currently offer FOSS swipe implementations, both of which are in alpha. The AOSP keyboard doesn’t have this feature - it’s exclusive to Google Keyboard.

You can still buy one from backers. Since deliveries only recently finished, many units are still in near mint condition.

I bought it from someone on the unofficial Discord server. They have a dedicated channel for that. It felt a bit shady, but at least the prices are fair.

That’s sad 😢

I heard that the antenna issue can be fixed manually, but it’s not an easy fix.

Yes, this managed to ship all devices in November 2024.
