Evercade, a company specializing in retro gaming consoles, has announced the launch of its newest handheld system, the 'EXP.' The new device builds on the brand's original handheld model, which offered gamers a unique cartridge-based system. The use of cartridges is a key differentiator for that brand, as many other retro gaming devices feature a limited built-in library of games.
In terms of features, the 'EXP' comes equipped with a 4.3-inch IPS panel, a 1.5GHz processor, 4 GB of memory, and an impressive 800 x 480 resolution. In addition, it features an all-new 'Tate' mode, which works to automatically adjust the system to better perform for vertical scrolling games. A final selling point, Evercade has also made this device Wi-Fi and USB--C compatible.
