The Odroid-go Game kit looks like a gameboy. It has a LCD, game controllers and the case. It has a CPU that runs between 80 and 240 MHZ, 4MB RAM, WiFi, Bluetooh, a Micro-SD slot, a rechargeable battery – charged through a Micro USB, a built-in speaker and a 320 x 240 LCD. That may not sound very much but all the CBM-64 games ran on that size of screen and it only had 64 KB of RAM.

There’s more information on the manufacturers website (it’s in English though it is Chinese made) and all the useful information is on a Wiki with info on emulators, downloadable games and how to write programs for it using the Arduino programming language which is very much like C/C++. You have to install Arduino for ESP32 first on a Pc (Windows, Linux or Mac) then can you write programs and run them on your Odroid-Go.

There’s a bit of assembling but the website includes instructions with photos. A quick search on Youtube found a video showing how to assemble it.

This is an example of Arduino code, taken from their online reference manual. The Ardunio has been around for several years so there is a lot of code around for it.

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
}
