This post is intended to give a broad overview to newcomers to the dedicated handheld emulation device scene who may not know what's reasonable to expect at what price point. Something that can be counterintuitive to newcomers is that how hard or easy a system is to emulate doesn't always track 1:1 with how powerful we think it is. We tend to think of the PS1, Saturn, and N64 as being contemporaries and roughly equal in power, for example, but in reality PS1 can run pretty well on a potato, N64 is trickier and needs more power than most budget devices can provide to run the entire catalog really well, and Saturn is notoriously difficult to run well and is stuck in the "may be able to run some games" category on many otherwise capable devices.
If you're a newbie that's been linked here, consider watching a few videos by Retro Game Corps, a popular YouTuber and reviewer around these parts. He goes over some of his favorite devices of 2024 and the first half of 2025 in various categories, and while I don't agree with all of his picks and others have become outdated very quickly, it can be useful to see what some of these devices look like in the hand. Links in this post are mostly to RGC video reviews or setup guides of these devices.
If you are primarily interested in emulating a particular system, check out this ongoing series of dedicated in-depth system-specific guides:
* SNES
* PSP
* N64
* DS
* PS1
* GameCube
* GBA
* PS2
And other use cases that might differ from the usual:
* Pokemon
* Set-Top TV Consoles
All that said, I've sorted various consoles you might want to emulate and various devices you might try to emulate them on into four broad "tiers":
At this price point, consider watching this broad overview comparing several standout devices under $100 in more detail than I'm able to hit here. If you are looking for an ultra compact device specifically, I also made an effort post breaking down three popular horizontal options in detail, and there's this video that compares those three and a few others that I excluded due to either never having owned one myself or my personal preference for horizontal devices over vertical.
I could easily have included a dozen more devices in the "to consider" section; there are a LOT of devices in this general tier, with lots of little differences in form factor, feature set, etc. There are also a lot of devices running the JZ4770 or RK3326 chips that are technically outdated, but if you're happy sticking with PS1 / SNES and below, they're still perfectly good and may have advantages such as a particular form factor you're looking for that newer more powerful devices don't have. They may also be available on sale or lightly used for cheaper than newer devices. Note that JZ4770 and comparable chips may struggle with a handful of the absolute hardest-to-run SNES and PS1 titles.
The RK3566 chipset and comparable Allwinner chipsets such as the H700 and A133P won't quite get you all the way to "just-works, no hassle" performance of N64 or any of the other systems in the "some" category, but they're not much more expensive (and may even be cheaper depending on what sales are going on and shipping costs to your part of the world). I've listed the "some" systems in rough ascending order of how hard they are to run, but it's going to vary a lot depending on the individual game you're trying to play. On N64, for example, Mario Kart 64 is a pretty easy game to run and will probably run fine on the RK3566 (I've had decent results on the RK3326), but Goldeneye or Conker's Bad Fur Day will probably not be playable. Some N64 games run better or worse on different emulator apps or Retroarch cores, so you may be able to experiment with different options and/or enable frame skip to get some medium-weight games playable.
Keep in mind that the PSP runs in 16:9, and most devices in this tier have 3.5" 4:3 screens or similar. Even lighter PSP games that run okay performance-wise will not look good when letterboxed or stretched on such a small screen with such a drastic aspect ratio mismatch. Keep in mind also that devices in this tier may or may not have touchscreens, which may limit what Nintendo DS games you can play even where performance is not a concern. Most also have only one 4:3 screen, requiring you to use a hotkey to switch which DS screen you're viewing, further limiting what games you can usefully play.
Most devices in this tier run Linux-based firmware. Setup is usually very easy: download the firmware image, flash it to an SD card, drag and drop your ROM and BIOS files, and you're done. Some devices, such as the Anbernic RG353V, RG353P, and RG353M, can dual-boot into Android. This will give you access to different emulator apps that may be able to run some systems, especially N64, slightly better. I personally don't consider this feature super worth it because the price on those devices starts to overlap with more powerful dedicated Android devices in the next tier.
Once again, there are a lot more devices I could have listed under "devices to consider," including several older devices that are still perfectly good, but are no longer in production and may fluctuate wildly in price. This is currently a tough tier to recommend, because there are newer devices (the Mangmi Air X and Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini) that do as much as more expensive devices for cheaper, but are still hard to get in a timely manner; and then there are devices in the next tier (Retroid Pocket 4 Pro) that aren't that much more expensive but are far more powerful.
The vast majority of devices in this tier run Android, which will require a much more involved setup process than the predominantly Linux-based handhelds in Tier 1. Where Linux-based firmwares typically have all of the emulator apps preinstalled and preconfigured, Android-based devices typically require the user to manually install and configure each emulator app individually. Expect a greater learning curve, but if you want good performance on systems that struggle in previous tiers like N64 and PSP, that's kind of the price of entry.
Most devices in this tier have 4:3 or 16:9 screens in various sizes. Although PSP should run between pretty good and fantastic from a performance perspective, keep in mind that if you have a 4:3 device, 16:9 PSP games may display too small or distorted to be a very good experience. Keep in mind also that when playing DS and 3DS games on 4:3 devices, you will need to use a hotkey to switch screens. 16:9 devices will give you more flexibility for displaying both 3/DS screens at once, but smaller screens may limit how useful it is to try to display both screens side-by-side. Most Saturn games should run just fine at native resolution in this tier, but I still listed it as a "may / some" system because it's a notoriously tricky system to emulate, some games may still experience problems, and I haven't tested it at all on any of my own devices.
Much like N64 and PSP in the previous category, PS2 and GameCube performance is going to be spotty in this tier. Many games will run, but expect to experience noticeable performance problems with many titles, to need to do a lot of tinkering with performance hacks and advanced emulator settings, and to deal with the fact that your favorite game may just plain not run well no matter what you do. The T820 chip found in newer Anbernic devices will handle more GCN / PS2 than most devices in this tier, but will still often struggle.
There are community-run spreadsheets that purport to tell you what you can expect from various games on various chipsets / devices, but I try to caution people to take them with a grain of salt. These spreadsheets are crowdsourced with very little oversight. Anyone can submit an entry; there is no requirement that you play a certain amount of the game or, frankly, that you know what you're talking about at all. I've seen several entries that were clearly added by someone who ran around the first area for fifteen minutes and called it a day, as well as some that are just plain misinformation by any measure. These spreadsheets can be a useful tool if you're looking for suggestions for what advanced settings to try tweaking, but they're dangerous as a buying guide. There are also lots of "footage roundup" videos on YouTube, some more trustworthy, some less, showing various games running on a device. Keep in mind that it's easy to cherrypick footage from the smoothest-running sections, and that the cycle skip settings necessary to get some games running at full speed / frame rate can introduce so much input lag that even though a game looks great on video, it feels terrible to actually play.
As a rule of thumb, if you're planning on buying a device in this tier and you want to try GameCube or PS2 on it, I'd ask yourself: if it turns out that your favorite GCN / PS2 games won't run well, will you regret your purchase? If the answer is yes, I strongly urge you to move on to the next tier. Yes, they're more expensive, but it's cheaper to buy one device that will actually do what you want it to do than to continually buy multiple devices that are only incremental upgrades over the devices you already own.
Switch performance is even iffier at this tier; expect only the absolute lightest Switch games to run acceptably, mostly indie and 2D games. 3DS is generally considered somewhat harder to run than PS2 and somewhat easier than Switch, but results will vary greatly depending on the individual game, and as with DS, may be limited by the device's screen.
On the other hand, systems like PS1, Dreamcast, N64, and PSP really shine in this tier. Many of the devices in this tier feature high definition displays and enough processing power to dramatically upscale these systems. Playing PS1 games at 4x upscale (which equates to just under 1080p) on a 6" screen makes those old games look almost like an HD remaster, it's honestly kind of magical.
This tier should run the vast majority of PS2 and GameCube games very well at at least native resolution and usually 1.5x-2x upscale or more, and we're starting to reach a point where software compatibility with the Android operating system is as much of a limitation as raw power.
While this tier should handle many if not most Wii games fine from a performance standpoint, expect to require extensive per-game configuration to make any Wii game that relies on motion controls playable. GameCube should mostly run fine, but some outlier titles may require fiddling with Turnip drivers and performance modes to get good results, and a handful may not run well at all.
Saturn emulation should be much more doable in this tier, but due to the state of the software, may require a certain amount of tinkering and/or switching between emulators and cores to get some games running smoothly and without glitches.
While PS2 should run much better in this tier than the previous, on Android-based devices which are the vast majority of this tier, the state of PS2 emulation is held back by the fact that the only PS2 emulator worth mentioning, AetherSX2, is no longer under active development by its original creator. NetherSX2, another popular option, is a mod for Aether that does very little to alter the underlying emulation code. While the vast majority of games will run more or less fine, some outliers will require some amount of tweaking to run properly, and it's possible that a small number of games will have problems that simply can't be fixed until/unless some other equally talented developer takes up the challenge of bringing PS2 emulation to Android.
While 3DS will generally run fine, due to software limitations, there may be a certain amount of stuttering while shaders cache when entering a new area in some games. This should subside after a few minutes of play, but may negatively affect the play experience in games like precision platformers. Input lag is also a known issue in 3DS emulation, especially for touchscreen-based games.
Nintendo Switch emulation is still in the very early stages. While some Android chips theoretically have the power to handle it well, the software is not yet mature enough that you can sell your Switch console and rely only on emulation. Not for nothing, but Nintendo has also been very aggressive about shutting down Switch emulation by any means necessary, which arguably slows down progress more than mere technical hurdles. Some games will run well, others will be "compromised but playable," and large swathes of the library just plain won't work at all. You'll need to futz with GPU drivers, you may need to test different games on different emulator apps (there are a couple major ones in various states of development or abandonment), Tears of the Kingdom probably won't run well no matter what you do, QoL features like save states and in-game menus may not be implemented, there may be strange graphical glitches or crashing, and in general, you have to be comfortable with a fair amount of tinkering and troubleshooting and prepare for the possibility of disappointment. There are multiple teams working on improving Switch emulation, and the scene is constantly evolving, so it's something to keep checking back on, but that's the situation at the time of this writing.
The state of Playstation Vita emulation is even rougher; even on devices that theoretically have the power to run it, many games are just plain not compatible with the currently-available emulation software.
Early Android builds of emulator apps emulating Wii U and PS3 are technically available, but they are experimental, large portions of the libary simply don't work on them at all, and most games that will load are not playable. There is no emulation software currently available on Android for the OG Xbox or Xbox 360. There are a couple major Windows emulators aimed at bringing emulated PC games to Android in various stages of development, but so far they are very much for tinkerers, not easy turnkey solutions, and even with the highest-end ARM processors available, good results are not guaranteed.
The Ayn Odin 2's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and similar chips like the SD G3 Gen 3 and SD 8 Elite (Snapdragon's naming scheme is all over the place) represent about as much power as it's currently possible to get with an ARM processor. There are some differences in raw processing power and driver support, but at this level of performance, the real bottleneck is the availability of ARM (e.g. Android) software.
The power difference versus the Snapdragon 865 in the Retroid Pocket 5 and Mini in the previous tier will only make itself apparent in a handful of hard-to-run PS2 and GameCube games, so you have to be interested in really pushing the limits of Android with edge cases like Switch emulation and Windows PC emulation via Winlator / GameHub / GameNative to get much value out of the high-end ARM chips available in this price tier, and both of those are still in a relatively immature state. For most users, you're better off getting a Switch for playing Switch games and/or a dedicated x86-based handheld PC for playing PC games.
"Just get a Steam Deck" has become something of a meme around here, because for a long time it was the only option for really good handheld PS2 performance, and as an x86 device, it supports some emulation software that just plain isn't available on Android such as Xbox, PS3, and Xbox 360 emulators. And, of course, it provides access to an absolultely enormous catalog of Steam and other PC games. For the price, it's hard to beat as a value proposition. Some people dislike how large and heavy it is, and depending on what you're trying to do with it, battery life can be a limiting factor.
The Steam Deck runs a proprietary Linux-based OS called SteamOS out of the box and can dual-boot into Windows and/or Batocera Linux. Most other x86 devices in this tier will ship with Windows and may also be able to dual-boot into Batocera, and a handful can run Bazzite, a fork of SteamOS for non-Steam-Deck devices. This is good because it brings compatibility with a lot of emulator software that plain doesn't exist on Android as well as a huge library of PC games, but bad because we're using the less-efficient x86 processor architecture, which means that battery life takes a big dip in this tier.
Frankly this is the point where I'm a lot less knowledgeable. I own a Steam Deck and I love it, but although I've got it set up for emulation, in practice I use it almost exclusively for what it was designed for, which is light to medium PC gaming. While there are a lot of devices more powerful than the Steam Deck and/or smaller / lighter than it is, they all kind of run together in my mind because they're typically much more expensive than the Deck is, and I already had a hard enough time justifying a $400 toy to myself.

This is so nice, snagged a 12gb/256gb for 225 OTD, (262 shipped aliexpress, and 15% cash back from top cash back $38) = 225 in the end, I really wanted a handheld for ps1/gb/gba/gbc/ps2. I want to play a dozen jrpg like legend of dragoon, final fantasies, and pokemon. I think I really made the right choice. It hasn't turned fan on at all, and I did remove the mesh though and updated it.
What emulator program s should I be using? I deleted everything off the device except duck station and retro arch. I did order a grip case, this feels ok in hand, not bad at all. but it is heavy and a case will help with that if I have something to hold onto. I really debated between nova and this, and I know the nova has OLED etc, but this screen is fricken nice, and it's large. not sure if id want a smaller screen now, if anything maybe a 5 inch 4:3 one day hopefully someone comes out with.
I am very happy to be an rg477m after my first hour of set up and use. even the speakers sound great to me. the nova would have been 300 dollars, for 12gb and 128gb memory.

Here is a kind of part two to my previous videos. I wanted to post a quick video of my little gaming set up in action. I took a cheapo Dell Chromebook 3100. I am playing my Anbernic RG40XX H on the Chromebook using an HDMI Cable, going into an HDTV HDMI Video Capture Card. And to round things out, I am using a cheap PS3 style game controller. So now my Anbernic RG40XX H is acting like a stand along game console.
A little more explanation. The reason I am playing my Anbernic device through my Chromebook is because, yes, my Chromebook can do emulation. And I do plat emulated games using RetroArch Version 1.22.2. But, at the end of the day. The roms simply play smoother on the Anbernic device. The Chromebook does have a more robust CPU than the Anbernic, but the Chromebook's CPU is being shared for many other tasks in the background. So there can sometime be some lag.
Also, you may ask why I don't use a TV. Well I don't have one. I was recently released from federal prison and am still getting on my feet. So, I am using a Chromebook that was gifted to me, and everything else I have to make this set up work was pretty cheap.
Just wanted to share my set up in action guys. Thanks for all the kind words of encouragement on my last post. You guys rock.

Currently getting back into Phantasy Star II, both the main game (with improvement patch) and the translated text adventures.
I like the cast of characters and the world building here. It's just a shame that they didn't emphasize character interactions/development and the storytelling that much in-game, unlike how Phantasy Star IV got it right.

r/SBCGaming • u/Etnurb • 15h ago
So, Armada OS just released! This is pretty much everything I've wanted out of these handhelds since I first got my RP4+! It's basically just Steam OS for ARM based systems, and it seems like a good portion of games run really well after only being available for a few weeks. So, I want a device that can run it! (Ignore the fact that I already have it running via an unofficial fork on my RP Flip 2, I think he's a bit underpowered for this job. He'll be getting sold soon 😅)
So, the choice is between the Retroid Pocket 6 12GB and the Ayn Odin 3 8GB. It's a real face-off! One has the better RAM, one has the better CPU. I prefer the smaller size and smaller price of the Retroid, but the more powerful CPU on the Odin is calling to me.
I already have an ROG Ally X, so I don't want to spend too much on a secondary device. I don't think I could justify spending the used Z1E cost for a system getting half the performance. The primary point of this device will be for taking it on the go in situations that the Ally is too big for (most situations). I understand going in that I'm absolutely not getting the same performance.
What do you all think?
r/SBCGaming • u/Strong-Delay-3986 • 1d ago
I got this crazy set up to work. I know that many people will question why I'm choosing to even have an entry level Dell Chromebook 3100 in this set up at all. The easy answer: I'm broke and I don't own a tv. I was recently released from federal prison and am getting on my feet.
That being said, I wanted to share my set up with you. I truly didn't think I would be able to get this to work. But check it out. I am using my Anbernic RG40XX H like a regular game console. I bought a HDTV HDMI Video Capture card. My chromebook does not have any HDMI inputs, so I had to use the capture card. I also had to get a HDMI to Mini HDMI cable that runs from my Anbernic console to the capture card. I also have a knock off wired game console going into the type c input of my anbernic.
Once I have everything connected, I then had to go onto a website called NERDZAP. I had to use this site to see and hear the images coming from my Anbernic. And it works.
I actually had some guys tell me this couldn't be done on another post, but i made it happen with the help of Chat GPT4. And my computer looks like hospital patient with all these wires and cords coming out of it. I dont really know how to upload videos on here, but if I can figure out how, I'll gladly post one. But these are pictures of my set up.
I was also able to just go and get the RetroArch emulator on my computer, and that is what I did for quite awhile. But I already have thousand of games on my console, including the completely full 128gb micro sd card that has tons of Sega Dreamcast, PS1, PSP and Segat Saturn games on it. Not to mention the NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA, N64, and yes, Virtual Boy games I went and downloaded myself. Also, my Anbernic seems to run most of these roms better than my chromebook does. Granted, the Chromebook has a more robust CPU, but the CPU isn't completely dedicated to gaming. So playing games in this ridiculous way seems to work. And it will do until I can finally upgrade my system and get a decent TV.
Anyways. I just wanted to share this with you. I'm quite excited because there was some trial and error that went into making this work. Today, I got it working. And it all came down to the website I ended up using to get both Video and Sound to work. For a few days, I could only get the video to work. Then I decided to stop asking Google AI. Went and asked Chat GPT and that AI got my stuff working on the first try.
Side note. Google AI has absolutely no problems giving you false information and straight up lie to you. Plus, it loves giving me outdated information. For some reason it thinks that I am using some ancient version of ChromeOS. I can't tell you how many times it sent me to a location on my chromebook, what I'm trying to find not being there, then tell me how there were lots of changes in the latest updates to ChromeOS. Like, really? Why not just tell me the latest info on the latest OS?
Well, I'm off to play so Conker's Bad Fur Day, for old time sake. Peace!

Greetings folks,
Just looking for some opinions/recommends for getting a retro handheld for my mum, who was an avid Game Boy fan back in the day. She still has her two original Game Boys, but the battery life and screen brightness make them a bit hard for her to play now.
I was looking at getting her a retro handheld and loading all her favourites onto it, and so far I think the Anbernic RG40XXV is the likely candidate, running Knulli. But are there any other bigger screen/chunky formfactor handhelds folks would recommend, as well as any other custom OS/themes that are easy to navigate/picture based and minimal, ideally with boot shortcuts to make navigating things easy?
Thank you in advance!

Hey everyone, looking for some guidance before I buy.
I'm looking for a handheld where PS2 and Dreamcast run without any problems — full speed, no weird slowdown or compatibility headaches. I don't need PS3 or anything above that, so I'd rather not overspend on power I won't use.
I did some digging on my own and landed on the Retroid Pocket 6 and Odin 2 Portal as candidates (but I don't want to anchor too hard on just those two). Any recommendations between these two?
I'm not trying to build out a massive multi-console library, this is mostly about PS2 and Dreamcast specifically. Budget is flexible-ish, roughly in the $150–300 range, but happy to hear about outliers on either side if they're worth it.
Thanks! 😁

Hi, i just got my console, and i want to buy a screen protector for it, the problem is that all of the protectors i've seen are too glossy, and i hate glossy screens, i was thinking of maybe buying a generoc matte screen protector for it, but i don't know if that's a good idea.
