Why are there protable SNES and Genesis emulators, but not Gameboy and Gamegear ones?

I didn't buy a smart phone on purpose. I don't want one. I bought a flip phone instead. I realize there would be a solution with roms, but I have my cartridges sitting around, I want to play them again.

I just want an answer to the patent issue. I know they don't make knockoff gameboy emulator hardware, but they even make one to stick a huge ass NES cartridge into. I just want to know why and if that patent protection will expire in the future or soon.

There is no market for it. And it would require a absurdly expensive custom chips. Even most modern retro consoles that take cartridges use emulation, because it's cheaper. The only reason NES clones were a thing is because they could be made with cheap generic chips.

God you are autistic.

You see, I don't believe this. Old gameboy cartridges are sold as often as old NES carts.


Why would stuff like Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Game Gear, etc. carts be that much more complicated than NES, SNES, Genesis? Isn't this stuff pretty basic tech?

1. I work on the internet/computer. When I go out, I don't want to be on the internet. 2. Mobile games are cancer. 3. I'm not going to spend extra money to simply appease Jews telling me I need to own something to be normal.

lol

get a psp or something nigger

You show 'em!.

user, you could just not open your phone without reason. The utility of being able to access Google (or whatever) for fact checking is more than reason enough to justify the cost.

Use the internet's ability to look up shit to broaden your knowledge. Don't just limit yourself because "I'll check it when I get home" (you won't).

Thanks, shlomo.

I own a Vita, you nigger.
