Although this device can be used as a handheld console, the developer mentioned that since the device only has 2 buttons, it is not very suitable for playing actual games, so "its intended use is to be placed on the table and used in conjunction with the game controller".

Currently, this developer has released the "step-by-step" process of making the complete handheld console. Interested TapTechNews friends can check the reference information at the end of the article to learn about it.
