Perspective Shift

Last night I learnt that the 32bit  graphics cartridges on the evercade work ok the super pocket. I was convinced the super pocket would have limited support for Evercade games and only play the 8bit and 16bit side scrolling games. I was wrong because I saw a Scottish guy on youtube playing tomb raider 1, 2 and 3 on the system. 

Here is is video, hopefully the link still works your present time.

To me it is amazing because I thought the super pocket is just a generic pocket emulator for playing side scrolling retro games. I didn't know it can handle the first generation 3d games that were played on the original playstation and Nintendo 64. It's amazing to me because it handles the games without overheating, there is no vent or fan to cool it down; they figured out a way to handle lots of 3d polygons without using too much power and heat. 

What I am trying  to say is they have made a pocket PlayStation with no moving parts, no fan, no vent for the processors, just a heat sync panel. 

I get it though, they have designed processors and graphics controller chips that can do quite a lot of work without using too much power and spurting out too much heat; even my current phone, the Motorola g85 has the snap dragon 600 and adrino 600 graphics chips, and my phone wasn't sold as top graphics pocket system like the new Samsung galaxy phones or I-phone 14. 

It's amazing to me. Not to the previous generations that take it for granted, it is amazing to me and people a like me that have some perspective. 

We all have super computers in our pockets, computers that would trump the best computers in the oldern days.
