Thumby Color Micro-Review: GBA cloning is very small that does not play nintendo

It is always risky betting on new video game devices from an unknown company: What if the gaming developers have never shown? but Thumpe color worth $ 50For sale this week, it is an easier sale process-calling the 2-inch cute handcrafted manual, and fits with your keys, and allows ambitious programmers to build and publish games directly on the web, and I find it much easier than playing than The original $ 30 is original!

Here is my video compares between the two and looks forward to playing play Treisand Delivery 4and minesweeperand deathand bustand 2048, And more:

Where the original Thumby uses 133MB RASPBERRY PI RP2040 to play a 0.4 -inch black screen, with just a 1.4 -megapixel area for games, the new Thumby color can double in about 14 degrees Celsius.

As I just saw, this is not a lot From power, but it is sufficient to dazzle in such a small package. (Yes, there is a real version that is legally playing death Running on the original Thumby Thank you To Graham SandersonWith disc James BrownAnd You can install it here yourself!)

The original Thumby was very difficult. Forget the thumb, I needed to use my country Mini image To press its buttons and D-Pad, you practically need a magnifying cup to tell Tetromonoes (Tetris forms) on OLED 1-bit.

Fortunately, the D-Pad’s D-Pad in Thumby has already has a tangible pivotal point. It is cruel, but I can really wrap it with a thumb! Now all the original Thumby games (the color is backward!) And the new colorful games have moderate use controls-and when the 16-bit LCD color screen adds 128 x 128, it is much easier to make these pixels. Especially when each of the quadruples gets its color.

Thumby Color also contains new AR Game Boy Advance – which is much easier to work than facial buttons in this size, and I hope Tinycircuits will allow us to re -equip them to the original garment titles. Currently, it is not used by current games, as well as the new Rumble engine and speaker.

One clear victory is a new USB-C port for data and shipping; No more drilling of Micro-Usb cable is like the original. You will want this cable. TinyCIRCUIT is estimated to battery life for only two hours, and I saw a low LED index signal at low each time I took it for an extended running session.

I will not claim that there a lot To play on a garlic color so far, that is, more than it was on the original gara when it came out for the first time. But I didn’t have to look hard to find fun.

I will definitely fail one for a quick game of trick gatherings (Combopool for Thumby Color), or comfortable Zen in the Small Sand and Water Park (Sand for Thumby), or modernity challenging someone to the smallest game of Pong (2pddl42pl for OG Thumby). You can Review of each color game Thumby here and Every OG Thumby game hereAnd try to run the last headlines in the web (click the game, then click “Open”) until you see what you get. The website also undertakes updates and downloading games to Thumby, and power users can connect and download files With a thorn as well.

Thumby appears to be released early. It is slower than the original Thumby for the introduction, and the user interface federation is slower in gaming more than I would like, which will be useful to think about a number that can suit them. Some of the original Thumby games were also shattered at launch. “I hear your criticism, we have a striped update later this summer to address some of them,” TinyCIRCUTS Founder Ken Burns told me.

Call them developments, and let them store stuffed materials, but the color of garlic and Thumby are great; Like tinytv for the companyI will be pleasantly talented, and I can see one purchase if I enjoy programming and want to create my own small game. I am also excited to find out what last Thumby Thumby colors managed to pull it: RP2350 chip Technically capable of snes and Boy games simulations Elsewhere, as well Fast color version of death.

Although if you want to simulate in the Game Boy Advance package, you don’t mind It is possible to support piracythere Also, shown you to look at.
