This device seems amazing and Evercade really has done something special here with real nice-looking carts and cases, stylish hardware and a great user experience. Definitely getting one of these!
This is a terribly complicated and stupid solution to something that is actually very simple: have the actual game on the actual d**n cart! Using a blockchain won't change a thing for the better. (Kudos to this article for mentioning the environmental aspects, for example).
Meanwhile, the Evercade - a much more interesting alternative game system - has come up with carts that can be updated! So your physical release can receive updated versions of the game/games on it. That is seriously cool and something I'd like to see Nintendo adopt!
This is a pretty cool device, and being open source is excellent, but it just seems like such a missed opportunity to not have the crank charge the device. It would have been so cool with a device that charged itself automatically when you just played games on it as usual. Also hard to get excited without a color screen I'm afraid.
