Playdate on PowKiddy v90 #504

Playdate is a great console, where we can make our own games, it is a free emulator that is available on the Playdate development site, is it possible to put the Playdate emulator on PowKiddy v90?

It's described as a simulator rather than an emulator, so games would likely have to be recompiled to use it. Additionally, while they provide a linux binary, I don't see the source code for the simulator (I don't see anything related to playdate on https://github.com/panicinc).

So porting it to MiyooCFW would be non-trivial. My guess is that building a proper emulator from scratch would be less work than porting the simulator without it's source code.

Also, how would you handle games that use the crank?
