I love my RG35XX. I'll stick with this until we have handhelds that can play the full (or at least most) PS2/Gamecube libraries.

Same here, I find I use my RG35xx more than my RG353M. It's just so easy to use with garlicOS.

I'm still using the ol' GDP XD (the first version)

I love the button placement and the Hall effect sticks. But the T610+Mali G52 being under clocked probably resulting in it being 30% slower is disappointing. The price is fantastic, however.

I've got a homebrewed 2DS XL and a RPFlip, just love the clamshell form factor!

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!

If you have the right device with wifi, you can stream from your PC. I do that a lot. It's a great solution for gaming generally but no reason it wouldn't be excellent for emulation too

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.

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.

My Android phone and the pizza boy application.

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.

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.

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 :)

[–] betamark@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I suppose its a tie between the Nintendo Switch and the Analogue Pocket. 3dsxl gets an honorable mention for its unbelievable service record.
