Personally I prefer using my smartphone that has all the power (and memory) needed for emulation in combination with a controller like the Gamesir X2 Pro
I've got a homebrewed 2DS XL and a RPFlip, just love the clamshell form factor!
Cool
I really want one of these, or something similar in the near future. A Steam Deck would be nice, but that's much more expensive and hard to get here. Honestly I just want my PC's emulation power, but in a form I can lay down in bed and play while chilling. I usually go with my Switch Lite for that, but having access to hundreds of retro emulated games would be even better!
My handhelds of choice are the Analogue Pocket, the AYN Odin, and the Steam Deck. All three of them are awesome in their own way, and honestly I'm happy there are so many cool options nowadays for portable gaming.
I use my DSi to play emulated games. It works for what I want to play so far.
love my RG353M, can't really see how the form factor for a pocketable horizontal device could be improved beyond it, besides a more powerful chip of course.
I bought an Anbernic RG353M, installed ArkOS and I love it. It works great and is just small enough to fit in a pocket if you want to take it on the go.
I only really have the Powkiddy X55 and the Nintendo 2DS XL. I like both but lately I’ve been enjoying the x55 a lot more. Great scaling for retro games and there’s a ton of ports available for it.
For a handheld the x55 is surprisingly ergonomic, though I kinda wish the grips went out further, more like a modern controller. I don’t really care about pocketability though.
My PSP 1000 kicks ass :)
I suppose its a tie between the Nintendo Switch and the Analogue Pocket. 3dsxl gets an honorable mention for its unbelievable service record.
I got in early on the Analogue Pocket preorders and it's been very nice, especially once they opened it up to third party cores.
@2tone right now using a Miyoo Mini and Retroid Pocket 3+. Enjoy both of them. The Miyoo is my daily carry since it’s so tiny.
Hacked Wii U gang checking in!
There are dozens of us! Ripped all my GC discs on my Wii and installed them on my Wii U. Such an incredible homebrew scene.
I recently purchased a Retroid Pocket 3+ but I haven't had the time to really set it up yet. I was hoping it was plug-and-play simnilar to a mini console I bought a few years ago that was ready to go immediately. Unfortunately the Pocket 3+ is going to take some time to get going.
Take a look at RetroGameCorps's tutorials, if you haven't. You'll be good to go in no time.

The Android setup took a long time on my Retroid, mainly due to all of the tweaking. I got a Miyoo Mini + afterwards and it was so much simpler that I may stick to more Linux oriented handhelds, or ones that dual boot.
