Handheld emulators

[Andy]

Seen a few adverts for things like the R36S recently, which is a $40 or so gameboy looking thing that has thousands of old games on it from what I can tell. Seemed too good to be true so did a bit of reading and saw mixed reviews. I'm interested but the quality doesn't sound perfect, which is to be expected. Has anybody got any experience of any of these that can play old PS1, PS2, N64, Gamecube, Gameboy, etc. games?

Interesting. How is it? I have so little memory on my phone

It works well, but in order to get roms on to it, the easiest way is:

1. Save rom to your computer
2. Send rom to your iPhone (I used Dropbox, but you can also email it as an attachment or something else)
3. Save rom to files section on your phone
4. Profit

YMMV but my old Motorolla X Pure (2017ish) could play PS1 games for the most part no problem. I did only stick with jrpgs so that did lessen the load

Honestly I'm intrigued handheld emulators/devices, been looking for a while for what options that are available. I have been building on my romsets for quite some time now. Mostly interested in emulation on Windows based PCs. But I am interested in emulators for Android and Steamdeck (or similar devices) for portable options. Not really interested in emulation on my phone due to memory constraints and don't want to drain the battery.

Also not sure if it be an option, but I'm also wondering if there's any mobile devices that has an output for streaming/video recording purposes as I am interested in streaming and video creation in the future.

RetroCore has a bunch of hands-on reviews of assorted handheld emulation devices with games preloaded on them.



The most recent device he looked at (not including the ad he did for Hotwave) has Hall Effect Joysticks.
