For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

The GBA SP is still a fantastic piece of hardware for pocket gaming despite being over 20 years old.

That is definitely a shop, though. The official spec sheet from Nintendo's site states it only has a resolution of 240x160 pixels.

If it's not a shop, it's an aftermarket device/screen, not original hardware.

While this looks like a Photoshop, it is actually possible. It's an Anbernic SP and you can run Windows 95 on it via DOSBox and Bluetooth mouse.

That's actually my dream. I'm working on an OS for the GBA just to make this happen

Running ECU tuning software (I'm pretty sure?) On a GBA SP is perfect. Gotta tune with hardware from the era!

(Yes I'm aware it's a photoshop)

There are knockoff consoles that can run linux, and thus dosbox and qemu, if you get the right install on it's sd card.
