are chink handhelds for retro emulation a meme?

No

No. They get the job done, I suppose. Inferior to the real hardware and you might as well emulate on PC, Steamdeck or PSP. If you use your phone I'll kill you.

some of them are very comfy. The real problem is the fact you're too old to enjoy videogames.
>>
>>724322404
Yes and no.
Yes, in that they will work and get the job done for the most part, but they don't last very long.
No, in that most people who buy them are collectorfags who'll never actually use them, unless it's for taking pictures of them.

I got the knockoff GBA SP one and haven't had a need to use it much. I guess if I flew in planes it would be fine, but otherwise there are too many menus for ipad kids to understand before they can read good, and otherwise you're playing 30+ year old games so, it's as fun as you want it to be.

honestly i'd rather get the real hardware or just emulate on my phone. but i get the appeal of portability and nice controls.

I will take this shitty devices seriously the day companies start making dedicated games for them, and that's not happening anytime soon

No. Depending on what you want to play, they're relatively cheap and powerful devices.
Just understand that you're paying for hardware specifically to play retro games on a handheld.
Some people are more in love with the idea of portable gaming than actually playing games.
