Why modular

Three design principles, stated up front the way a datasheet states its operating conditions.

P-01 · ECONOMICS

Upgrade the Core, keep the rest

Screens, batteries, and controls outlast processor performance by years. With Zaman you keep the high-quality display, controller, and dock you paid for, and swap only the Core when a more powerful generation arrives.

P-02 · ATTENTION

Boots into your games

Reignite your passion for gaming with a dedicated gaming experience, no doomscrolling, no intrusive notifications. An Armbian-based Linux gaming environment with a controller-operated library, an integrated system menu and useful notifications. Built around getting back to your games.

P-03 · OPENNESS

Yours to tinker

Zaman embraces open-source operating systems and emulation frontends. Tune your ultimate retro setup the way you want it, free of corporate software restrictions.
