CES 2025 - no Lynx & Jag on the new Gamestation Go ?
the menu shows 2600 5200 7800 Arcade & recent games, but no Jag nor Lynx :(
this would have been the opportunity to have ALL Atari consoles into 1. Hopefully with future updates

Guessing at the Rockchip, if it is a Gamestation Pro equivalent RK3032, then you're better off with a HyperMegaTech Super Pocket Atari edition.
It'll play Lynx at least.
If you want to play Jaguar, there's no Rockchip in a handheld format I know supports that; my RK3399 is not great at Jag emulation and the newer RK3588 on Android is a lot better, but these are desktop cpus

it is powerful enough to play the recharged and balls of steel games though I dont know how this would translate to emulation capability.

Poorly, when it comes to the Jaguar. Somewhat like the Saturn (although not quite as bad), the Jaguar is a mess of hardware design. It ran on a 16-bit Motorola 68k (similar to the Genesis) but with two 32-bit RISC co-processors, both of which were custom built. That means emulating it is more difficult than usual, and generally you need a lot of overhead because of all that.

Are there any released specs as far as ram size or cpu? Wonder if it’s capable of running Batocera and such.

I'm guessing this will be hacked within 12 hours of it's release. Then you will be playing EVERYTHING ON IT!

Lynx !! I almost forgot that one. Reminds me of the game Transylvania. Maybe the title is different.
