Tiger Telematics Gizmondo is a gaming handheld launched in 2005. Powered by S3C2440 (1-core, 400 MHz), 64 MB RAM. Features a 2.8" TFT LCD display (320 x 240). Runs Windows.
When it comes to emulation, the Gizmondo comfortably handles systems such as Atari 2600, CHIP-8, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Sega Master System, Sega Game Gear, NES, Game Boy and Game Boy Color, plus Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Game Boy Advance and MAME. Most SNES games run at 60 FPS, but titles using the FX chip or Mode 7 lag. On PlayStation, most 2D games run fine (not all at a full 60 FPS), while 3D games struggle.
The 2.8-inch TFT screen offers QVGA resolution of 320 x 240, a 4:3 aspect ratio, a 60 Hz refresh rate and a density of roughly 143 ppi. The 4:3 format suits retro games perfectly, although there is no dedicated lens, only a screen protector.
Controls include a disc-style D-pad in the upper position, 4 face buttons and L1 and R1 shoulder buttons. There are no analog sticks and no rumble. Dedicated Home, volume, brightness, alarm and power buttons keep everyday use simple. The plastic body measures 138 x 82 x 32 mm and weighs just 155 g.
The Li-ion battery is swappable, and charging works via Mini USB or a DC power jack. Connectivity is unusually rich for a gaming device: Bluetooth, GPS and tri-band GSM for SMS/MMS. Audio comes from a single front-facing mono speaker, with a 3.5mm headphone jack for private listening.
The console runs Windows, the platform that made it possible to port emulators for the systems listed above, while the SD slot makes transferring games and apps straightforward.
Ideal for: collectors of rare hardware and retro fans who want to play 8-bit and 16-bit classics on a device with a truly unique history.
