This is awesome, only wish it was a 486DX2 with 4/8MB RAM instead, that would increase the possibilities of running more heavier operating systems, like Windows 95.

Also, is there a mention of the refresh rate of the display? I wonder what gaming on it would be like. They provided a screenshot of Test Drive and Wolf3D running on it, but a video would've been nicer.




So it's not quite that, but the Pocket 386 exists right now today, and is quite excellent!

You can buy them off Aliexpress etc. quite easily

There's a 2:30 video of Wolfenstein 3D gameplay on the linked README page.


There’s a video, too, but the framerate wasn’t usefully playable. I’ve seen worse, but you wouldn’t ever want to play it this way.
