My Hacking Simulator runs on a Cyberdeck

SMRTR summary

A hacking simulator game "Botnet of Ares" now runs on a DIY cyberdeck built using a ClockworkPi uConsole with a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3. The developer struggled with hardware compatibility, achieving only 1-3 FPS since the CM3 lacks proper OpenGL support, forcing software rendering instead of GPU acceleration. The modular Linux handheld allowed customization with different expansion boards and compute modules, though availability issues forced purchasing at premium prices of around £80 above retail.
