@Hundstrasse the psp is kinda close

@kawaiizenbo tbh that's what made me think of it. Like the PSP is an optical media handheld, so why not a floppy disc handheld?!? 😁

@Hundstrasse I want it. I'm gonna build it.

The closest I've seen is that Data Discman which is an ebook reader that uses mini-CD in floppy-like cases

@foone do it! I was trying to work out if you could make a kind of self contained pico-8 that loaded directly off floppy 😅

@Hundstrasse yeah something like pico-8 would be perfect. Nice tiny games.

@Hundstrasse I think I'd want to have pico-8 on the flash, so it doesn't need to load it off floppy each time. Then you'd have plenty of space and quick loading times

@foone yeah, I think that would be three best way to do it

@Hundstrasse Didn't the Japanese version of the NES have a floppy drive accessory at some stage?

Hundstrasse, 13 days ago

@kiwired yes! And it's pretty cute! I was kind of thinking more like those early digital cameras that took a floppy disc... But a handheld. I want to feel the whirring of a drive reading!
