    Default GCW Zero: New Open Source Gaming Handheld

    Hi guys, I figured that people on this board would be interested in this since it's main uses would be retro game emulation and homebrew. It's called the GCW Zero and it's a Linux based open source handheld. It's currently on Kickstarter but has already been produced in small batches.
    Being a big fan of the open source scene I'll definitely be backing it. So what do you guys think?
