PocketSprite Pocket Sprite is a gaming handheld launched in 2016. 520 KB RAM. Runs Custom Firmware.
Inside is an SoC with a dual-core Tensilica LX6 processor running at 240 MHz on the Xtensa instruction set, paired with 520 KB of SRAM and 16 MB of flash storage. This platform is enough to emulate classic 8-bit systems: CHIP-8, Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Sega Game Gear and Sega Master System. It does not aim at more demanding platforms, focusing instead on the classic era of handheld and living-room gaming.
The screen uses OLED technology with a 96 x 64 resolution and a 3:2 aspect ratio. The resolution is very low, so game images are scaled down to fit the panel, but the OLED technology delivers high contrast in a truly tiny format.
Controls are kept simple: there are no analog sticks and no rumble, which suits the 8-bit games it emulates. Audio comes from a single front-facing mono speaker. The very small dimensions make long sessions less comfortable for larger hands.
Charging is handled through a Micro USB port, and connectivity includes WiFi and Bluetooth, an unusual feature set for a device of this size.
On the software side, the Pocket Sprite runs dedicated proprietary firmware designed for simplicity. Its Xtensa architecture and built-in wireless radios make it an interesting device for people who like to experiment with compact hardware.
Ideal for: collectors of miniature consoles, fans of classic 8-bit games who want a cheap pocket gadget, and anyone looking for an original retro gift.
