This dude goes by Modded Marimba and plays vg music with an electric marimba going through guitar effects and a looper pedal. Amazing stuff.

We are back! #C64 www.commodore.net The first official Commodore 64 in over 30 years is here - a faithful recreation of the original motherboard on FPGA hardware. HDMI, WiFi, USB, but compatible with every existing cartridge and peripheral. Not an emulator - a recreation. Same price as my first $299

A while back I replaced the capacitors in my old Sega #gamegear. The system came alive with sound and control but the LCD was dead. I finally replaced the screen with a modern IPS made specifically for this system thanks to Retrosix out of the U.K. #retrogaming #retrogame

So I love my Miyoo Mini plus, I got a few years ago, but recently got my Miyoo Flip v2 and within 20-30 opens the famous Miyoo hinge-gate also happened. Really liked this SP size and form, but at least Miyoo letting me return it and refund. See y’all at V3😉 #retrogaming #gba
