This is close enough https://github.com/OTTO-project/OTTO and https://www.critterandguitari.com/organelle

Mmm, these might be a nice start, but I don't think they're in the same tier as the OP-1. The appeal for me is the world class integrated visual design and build quality.

Get an Axoloti synth, add your own preferred world class visual design and build quality:

My favourite is the Chlorophyll box, which just kicks so much ass:

The Axoloti looks great! I mainly have the OP-1 to make a chiptune OST, but Axoloti Patcher seems like it would be more functional. What I really want is something that can emulate old gaming console chiptunes and be portable.

I have an Open Pandora which has pretty much every old gaming console onboard. ;). Maybe you can find one - they're amazing machines, or .. get a Pyra, which is an update of the concept by the same folks.

Or, maybe what you want is Anaologue Pocket?

Dunno if its shipping yet though..

Maybe Axoloti is the answer. Its a very nice bit of hardware, I should use mine for things more often...
