Why only GB/GBA? Mister FPGA support lot's of cores which can use the same Screen and controls: NES, SNES, various Sega consoles, C64, MSX etc.
And any cheap Chinese retro-console of the same sort support even more of them. So from a practical standpoint I don't see any advantage of this (no doubt cool) project.
This main distinguishing feature of this project is that it supports physical cartridges, whereas MiSTer and almost every other emulation handheld doesn’t.
The FPGA cores here are written from scratch by me with hardware support in mind, and it’s quite a bit of work! Plus, SNES cartridges don’t exactly fit in a handheld :)

Surely, you've heard of the Supaboy.
I jest, this project looks great! After looking over the build instructions, it seems like this might be a good reason to finally make an account with JLCPCB.
As a Russian I can tell you: don't go there. You won't understand Dostoevsky fully without growing up in the Russian culture, full of depression, fatalism and похуизм (I don't give a damn attitude). Reading classic Russian literature is the right way to depression and craziness. Just don't do that.
I've read my fair share of Russian literature, and I never felt depressed from it. If anything works like the Notes from the Underground or the Overcoat reassured me of my sanity in the face of an irrational society and have often confirmed long held yet elusive suspicions I had on how people actually think or behave.
why didn't they just open it for all with a proper license? as soon as you're move toward a commercial product with qnx you're immediately own them money. and no money with linux. who will us qnx on these terms?
Note that there's not only Phone/Voice, but also CW and digital modes (Like FT8), so it's possible not to speak with ppl at all and still do the activation.
I used, and liked, the predecessor called Revolution which was closer to the original HyperCard ethos. They are now stuffing so much into LiveCode it feels lost in itself. As a company I find them all over the place with this product.
Thoughts on the rebranding of tIDE? I'm sorry I missed it as "OXT Lite", but worry about it being presented Athena-like as born fully-formed from a single developer...
Being an "actual app on your Mac" is probably not going to be a great target for a revival of Hypercard. I would imagine a website, HTML5 "app" or some other portable technology would make way more sense and have much greater reach.
The whole point should be to make the environment operable on the "cheapest computer" a person may have access to - an old Android mobile.
In Sonoma, you can choose Add to Dock in Safari and make a nice little progressive web “app”. Just a cool feature.
As for the color, it’s there now. It imports any stack resources from the old AddColor extension, the buttons and fields support both color and bevel level properties in the picker, and you can use any online image as a button icon you want.
And any cheap Chinese retro-console of the same sort support even more of them. So from a practical standpoint I don't see any advantage of this (no doubt cool) project.
