The LeapFrog Didj is a handheld console made by LeapFrog Enterprises. The Didj was priced at $89.99 when it debuted on August 22, 2008. In line with LeapFrog's other hardware, the console is marketed as an edutainment console for children, with software based on licensed properties such as from Disney, Nickelodeon, Marvel and Sega.
The Didj has also attracted the attention of hackers[1] as it runs on a customised Linux distribution, and due to its relatively low price (compared to more expensive systems such as the Nintendo DS), as well as its OpenGL capabilities.[2]
Several homebrew applications as well as demos have been written for the device, including a port of the gpSP emulator.[3]
Sega support
Sega produced at least one game for the system, namely a specialised conversion of Sonic the Hedgehog. As with most games for the Didj, Sonic the Hedgehog came with educational minigames for children, namely spelling, grammar and vocabulary activities.
