this was my loadout for the rally weekend. I was driving down to Sacremento (and back) and wanted something to play music, and some kind of digital distraction. All this stuff still works, and at times did a better job than the smartphone that replaced them.
The camera has a much better lens than a smartphone, but by virtue of being $3.50 at a thrift store, I sort of don't care if I ate shit on my bike and landed on it (i would, actually, care very much) so it worked great to use on the road. It's main drawbacks are taking forever to take shots since it loads them to a compact flash card. The flash and focus settings get reset when it turns off, so every time I turn it on I have to disable the flash and set the focus to infinity, since autofocus takes an extra 4 or so seconds. it also only lasts about 3 hours on the 4 AAA batteries it uses.
the DS Phat has a GBA flash kart on it, and a bunch of roms, so I can just kind of play whatever. I find that games for the 3DS and DS require a lot of menus before you're playing, whereas GBA games are faster to get into. the backlit screen is good enough and the battery lasts forever. I guess if I could rustle up a DSi that would be a nice upgrade.
Finally the Ipod classic, which worked in the mountains without cell service, so I was able to play music when all the radio stations were garbage and spotify was unavailable. The drawback here is we were stuck with only the music I had on it, so just Weird Stuff. It's also Aux Jack compatible. at one point we bought a USB C/Audio Jack splitter from a gas station so we could play spotify over the radio, which worked intermittently.
anyway this was all good because my phone, now 5 years old, doesn't have the battery it used to, so using the phone at all would mean I might not have it by the end of the day given unreliable charging opportunities.
