This is what the Odroid Go was, but it's been discontinued. There's an Arduboy firmware for it. I think there are still some other slightly less polished ESP32 handhelds around, but the Odroid Go was a great (and cheap) little thing.

> This is what the Odroid Go was

I have one and it's a really nice piece of hardware that runs lots of games at native speed. Thanks to being an open platform, I'll probably turn it into some sort of WiFi terminal or else. For sure it won't collect dust in a drawer like many closed devices do when they become old. The Arduboy seems a nice little device, however at that price it is less appealing than say the Odroid Go Advance which has much powerful hardware but costs only $5 more. I wonder if they could axe the costs even further by not making the entire device but only a board with buttons, display and battery charging circuitry, which could host one of those cheap ATmega32u4 boards.

I mean, there's still the Odroid Go Advance and the Odroid Go Super:

... which are Linux(?) handhelds with Ghz+ multicore ARM chips. Quite different.
