WE TAKE HANDHELDS APART
Retpad is an independent editorial desk for people who solder. We review the hardware, document the restorations, and track what the collector's market is actually doing — without the nostalgia tax.

What we cover
Restoration walk-throughs, mod-kit reviews, firmware deep-dives, and a running market index for the consoles worth chasing. If it has a D-pad and a battery door, it's in scope.
