I bought an eMate on a whim about 20 years ago and absolutely love it. I do a similar thing and have a play once in a while. Occasionally I’ll use it as a distraction-free writing device, but the batteries need replacing for it to be truly useful. Will get round to it one of these days.

I can’t help but think it would make a really good Raspberry Pi casemod, but it feels like sacrilege to gut a working device.

Incidentally, if anyone has any broken eMates I’d be interested…
