The ZX Spectrum inventor’s nephew created a new ultra-thin handheld emulator.
Grant Sinclair, the nephew of Sir Clive Sinclair who invented the iconic ZX Spectrum 8-bit home computer, has created a new handheld emulator called the GamerCard that’s just 6.5mm thick thanks to its unique silicone covered micro button controls.
It’s powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W with a quad-core processor and features a 4-inch, high-res, 60 fps, square screen but its £125 (around $170) price tag puts it in competition with more capable and familiar-looking handhelds from Anbernic and Retroid.
