Ivoahon The killer features of the Steam Deck

Yeah, that’s including the game boy games as they are (were?) available on Virtual Console. I put the “Nintendo made” qualifier to exclude the CD-i games

> But if you want to play through the Zelda series you’d have to collect almost every Nintendo console.

Minor nit-pick, but IIRC the Wii-U can play every Nintendo made Zelda game except for Tears of the Kingdom.

What you're thinking of is CHIP-8[1]. PICO-8[2] is similar in spirit, though much more powerful. It's a constrained (in memory, code size, and cpu cycles) lua environment tied to a 128x128 16 color display.

Ivoahon TI-84 Plus CE Python Graphing Calculator

Ahh maybe I should read the entire comment before replying :P. Sorry. I only saw the wanting to learn assembly and asking for resources. Honestly though I think this could still be a great way to get into assembly. There's a myriad of emulators out there for TI calculators, so you could still use the links I posted.

Learn Assembly in 28 Days[0] is what I remember going through when I first started messing with assembly on TI calculators. Another great resource is Cemetech[1], a forum/community dedicated to (mostly TI) graphing calculators and hacking/programming them.
