What is a retro handheld?

A retro handheld is a pocket console that runs emulators for classic systems. Most use Linux-based firmware with active community operating systems and load the games you own from a microSD card.

What are Hall-effect joysticks?

Hall-effect sticks sense position magnetically instead of with a wearing potentiometer, which greatly reduces the stick drift common in older controllers.
