Bittboy New PocketGo is a gaming handheld launched in 2019. Powered by JZ4770 (2-core, 1.0 GHz), 512 MB RAM. Features a 3.5" IPS LCD display (320 x 240). 2000 mAh battery. Runs Linux.
Inside is the Ingenic JZ4770, a dual-core MIPS XBurst chip running at 1.0 GHz, paired with a Vivante GC860 GPU clocked between 315 and 575 MHz and 512 MB of DDR2 RAM. It handles 8-bit and 16-bit systems with ease, from NES, Famicom Disk System, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance to Master System, Game Gear, Mega Drive, Sega 32X, Mega-CD, Neo Geo and Neo Geo Pocket Color, plus arcade titles through MAME and Final Burn Neo. SNES and PlayStation run almost entirely at full speed, with slight lag only in a few FX chip SNES games and some 3D PS1 titles. Nintendo 64 appears in the platform list, but PS1 is the realistic ceiling.
The 3.5-inch IPS display has a 320 x 240 QVGA resolution, a 4:3 aspect ratio and a 60 Hz refresh rate, at roughly 114 ppi. That classic format matches the original output of most retro systems, so games look right without awkward stretching. A tempered glass lens with a convex bezel covers the panel.
Controls follow a familiar layout: a cross D-pad up top, a single slidepad below it, four face buttons and four horizontal shoulder buttons (L1, R1, L2, R2). Dedicated Menu, Power and volume buttons are joined by rumble support, while brightness is adjusted with a button combination. Sound comes from a single front-facing mono speaker, with a 3.5mm headphone jack for private play.
Power comes from a swappable 2000 mAh battery (BM20 type), so a spare can be carried for longer trips, and charging is handled over USB-C. Dual microSD slots keep the system and your game library flexible and easy to expand.
On the software side, the New PocketGo runs OpenDingux and the Rogue custom firmware, and modding is openly permitted. Beyond console emulation, it also supports ScummVM, CHIP-8, TIC-80 and Pico-8, making it a versatile little Linux handheld for tinkerers.
Ideal for: retro gamers who want an affordable, pocketable handheld focused on 8-bit, 16-bit and PlayStation classics, with a 4:3 IPS screen, swappable battery and the freedom of OpenDingux-based custom firmware.
