Is the Retroid any good? Every emulation handheld I've managed to get has been trash so far.
It’s fantastic, runs most psp games at 3x resolution. Also runs many ps2 and GameCube games playable, if not well. Dreamcast runs great, the screen is bright and colours are vibrant. I do want a steam deck to go with this for things that need a bit more power but this is pocketable and will be on me when I go out.
Dang, PS2 and GameCube playable? That's honestly a shock to me, I wasn't even sure PS1 would be doable.
Can just get a steam deck. The emulators run great on it so far.
There's a pretty gigantic gap between a $150 device and a $400 device.
My recommendation is a homebrewable Switch. It runs pretty much anything you'd want in terms of emulation up to but not including the Wii U and PS3. Usually you can find them second-hand pretty cheap.
I've got a real early switch I've been wanting to mod for a while, I'm just worried about ending up with a cheap shim that screws the connections on my rails.
