Nah, you only need the N3ds xl
>>738013448Hell nah nigga, im not playing my gba games and my ds games letter boxed, and i want to run my actual carts to play gba at least most of the time.I dont give a fuck about the switch at all, and i can play gb / gbc on gba, and no offense at all, but im not that into gb/gbc so i dont mind it"You only need 3" nigga speak for yourself.
>>738013448I only need one.
>>738013448>switch natively plays nothingwhat did they mean by this?
>>738013448…..why switch1 instead of switch2
Btw the 3ds emulates gba.
you only need e new 3DS xl, a ps vita and a steamdeck
>>738013629Switch 2 does not natively play Switch 1 games. For Switch 2 games, that would be 4 handhelds = 7 libraries.
>>738013687Anon...

>>738013448I have them all Nintendo and Sony handhelds plus a chinkheld, don't tell me what to do.
>>738013663GBA is native in 3DS, not emulation.
>>738013448>New N3DSyes>XLdisgusting
>>738013448A steam deck plays all 3 of these without the hundreds of dollars for loose GBA and DS games. This is bait surely.
>>738013448This is retarded. Shouldnt it be gba, 3ds, and switch 2?
>>738013448replace Game boy color with game boy advance SP.>Back light>Plays GB,GBC and GBA games>Fits in pocket easier
>>738013713Anon, what? There is no Switch 1 hardware inside Switch 2.
>>738013751Its partial emulation. Its missing a lot of the original GBA chips the DS had for backwards compatibility.
>handheldshow does it feel to not have matured past age 12
>>738013804So can a desktop PC, neither of which are portable or handhelds.
>>738013448>playing gba and ds games on microscopic screens on an xl consolegay retard
>>738013891Wrong. Everything was included back in the 3DS. It is fully native. You are thinking about the DSi, that removed a lot of GBA components. Just research a bit, c'mon.
>>738013940>microscopicfactually wrong
>>738013916You're posting on /v/, everyone here has arrested development, including you.
>>738013448The only 1 handheld you'll ever need>plays all those nintendo consoles, and also everything else
>>738013927A steam deck is quite literally a portable habdheld. Are you retarded?
>>738013592Why did white hands type a post like that
>>738014016>posts a picture demonstrating an abysmal screen to body ratiothanks for proving my point I guess?
Asus ROG Ally X + Switch 2 is total gaming supremacy.
>>738013448replace gbc with vita and this is a good list. gb/gbc doesn't need native support, emulation is more than mature for it and both extremely accurate and very performant. meanwhile, vita nets you vita, psp, and ps1 games (the latter two via adrenaline, which is a hypervisor i believe).also, it's worth pointing out that while open_agb_firm is great for if you want to be able to access every gba game ever made, if you're only playing like a small handful then injection is usually a better solution so you don't need to reboot into it.
>>738013448I’ll just use my PC, thanks. Although I do still have my 3dsXL, its nintendos best product.
>>738013804i mean a 3ds takes all of 20 minutes to hackwhy do you think they're so expensive now
The 3DS was terrible compared to the Switch and I'm tired of snoys glossing it. The reason snoys like the 3DS so much is because it was their last "flop era" release before the age of success.
>>738014139injection is tedious to set up and you have to go through the shitty home menu, I like that open_agb_firm boots up instantly and just lets you pick the rom from a list
>>738013841Gba is full of cartoon shovelware and little else. Id rather play pokemon g1 and 2 and the zelda oracle games cuz im not a know nothing faggot zoomer
>>738014068The joke was that the Steam Deck is shit at being both a handheld and portable. Well fucking done, retard.
>>738014057>plays them all like shit with massive lag>stupidly overpricedreddit's favorite console
>>738014209>The reason snoys like the 3DSconsole wars have broken your brain, touch grass
>>738014113The pic demostrates GBA size on a N3DSXL === GBA SP size. Your point ("microscopic") was wrong, period. Here is a GB Player border for (you)r empty space phobia.
>>738014251So is the shitch and that still has an insane fanbase.
>>738014086Im a fighting game fag and the fgc is full of nigs so it rubbed off on me a bit.
>>738013448Well if you never want to play a new game ever again, sure. I guess the Switch 1 still gets indie releases, I think.
>>738014225yeah there's pros and cons to each method and i use both. i have the full gba library that i access through open_agb_firm but for my most played few i went through the hassle of setting up injection so i don't need to reboot to get to them.
>>738014209>the age of success being defined by formulaic low effort games specifically engineered to appeal to the lowest common denominator die hard tendies and actual children
>>738014301>small screen on huge console = small screen on small consoleno more (you)s retard
>>738014113His point is that you're retarded. It's the same size as playing on an actual GBA. Stop being an autist scared of some black borders and play the fucking game.
>>738014301looks better on the sp bro>>738014392>4:3 screen>strong enough to emulate everything with jit enabled>tate mode supportipad is best handheld console
>>738014139The Vita really is the most underrated handheld, it had a fantastic library of ports that weren't available for other handhelds and in some cases still aren't (like the Vanillaware games). Shame everyone slept on it and also shame about some of the hardware issues, that back pressure plate and gyro sensor being hard-coded to control schemes was really unforgivable.
>>738013448>game boy color>not game boy advance SPThe backlit screen makes those games so much more playable.
>>738014342Yes, the Switch is also a shit handheld, albeit not quite as hilariously dreadful as the SD.
>>738013804A Steam Deck cannot comfortably play Kid Icarus: Uprising. Any handheld setup where you cannot comfortably play the greatest game ever made is not one worth engaging with.
3DS has the shittiest screens Nintendo ever made. Once GBArunner3 is more stable then DSiXL will be amazing for GBA games. Even now it's superior in most cases than using a 3DS.
>>738014276>>738014375I can tell you're a seething Cubesnoy because the brief mention of the Switch's success made you devolve into a boiling rage.I'll say it again, keep seething snoy.
>>738013448Truke answer incoming
>>738014521The *frontlit screen on most SPs is pretty bad, and the backlit screen on the later model is very blurry. If I feel like playing GBA games on original hardware, I prefer DS fat consoles. GBA games look pretty good on those screens.
>>738014615>jeetdroidhard pass
>>738014615see >>738014549
>>738013592It's okay to want more, but you only need three (two, I wouldn't bother with the Switch, personally).
>>738013448I's funny how the infographic includes exactly the currently most expensive designs from each of the three consoles. They’re sexy, I’m not going to lie.
>>738014549Ipad air with pencil can play it. active stylus so has instant response like capacitive touch screens
>>738014692I meant to say "you only need THESE three"What i meant was, playing gba on 3ds is obviously a worse experience and op is massive homo
>>738014886>no comfortable place to put the stick and shoulder buttons>stick flicking lacks the tactile response needed for the mechanic to workNope.
>>738014959KI:U came with a stand so just use the ipad stand bro. usbc to controller
>>738013448my 3ds doesn't have a GBA hole :(
>>738015064The stand unironically made KI:U harder to play and was only included as a cope for retards
>>738014057it runs shitty emulation software that can barely handle any games for the same price as an XL
>>738013605Trvke
>>738013448left seems irrelevant. If you cared about things being ultra native, why would you stop at GBC? might as well get an n64 and a game cube too.
>>738015201>has to make things up because he doesn't have a thor
>>738013448smartphonedesktop/laptopyeah i think im good holmes
>>738015240I like playing Game Boy games on original hardware simply because I don't think they look right on actively lit screens. Most consoles don't have something like that preventing you from emulating.
>>738015262why would i have a thor when i have the real deal the N3ds XL
>>7380134483DS library is dogshit and the ergonomics of the system give your hands cancer.It's GBA SP and/or DS lite, but honestly just the DS lite. You can emulate GB games easily off a DS flash cart, and they're GB games who gives a shit about 100% accuracy.
>>738015573>3DS library is dogshitMost retarded post on /v/ right now
>>738015573>3DS library is dogshitAnon, we already know you slept on the 3DS and now they all go for more than a Switch 2 on eBay, but there’s really no need for this, can't be healthy.
>>738015313granted for taste, but the "YOU" part of "You will ever need" implies general audience use. shit like prefering how the screen look is like saying you should get a CRT tv which really only a dedicated particular fanatic will go out and get. just seems like a niche reason that you could say for the particulars of any given device and would make the list at least 8 items long.
>>7380155733ds is the last console with a halfway decent library. We haven't had anything close since.
>>738015692>>738015741nta and was part of the 3ds generation and it was not the best. Shit like ocarina of time 3d and more niche things like fire emblem or kid Icarus if you are into that, but honestly ive been playing more gba and ds games on mine.got any other big examples?
>>738015775It's because unfortunately the 3DS doesn't include the GB/C hardware. If it had, it would have been the ONLY Nintendo handheld you’d ever need, period. I honestly emulate/VC GB/C on my 3DS anyway, but it was more about consistency with it all being fully native.
>>7380159363d land too i guess, there are a few. wasnt big fan of samus returns.
>>738015692>>738015741Not him, but the only 3DS game I truly liked was A Link Between Worlds. MH4 was good as well, but I should've emulated it instead because it runs like shit and it destroyed my hands.
>>738013448I'm sure the PSP had emulators for everything that came out before itI do clearly remember emulating megaman zero and vaguely remember tweaking setting to play spyro on a ps1 emulator
>>738013605I'm really thinkin about one of these, hows the battery life and can I shitpost on 4chan with it?Does it handle emulation well?
>>738015274Gaming on a smartphone is really uncomfortable regardless of the convenience.
>>738016075It had GBA and SNES emulators but they required frameskip in a lot of games. It was good for the time but has been rightfully put to rest.
>>738015936
>>738016075iirc PSP emulator of PS1 was the best one back then but playing without L2 and R2 was ass.
>>738013448Gameboy Advance is ugly.Not even in a soulful way. Just ugly and unpleasant to use. No reason to have it if you own a DS Lite.
>>738014113Who...cares? It's the same size.
>>738016137bluetooth controllerit really isnt that hard
>>738016083Just google it yourself. It's literally a PC so you can do fucking anything on it, and there's people emulating bloodborne on it, so you can most likely emulate everything up to the PS3.

>>738016083It's an unlocked PC. You can do anything with it.>>738016358>The best version of Puyo 20thI was about to play the PSP version of this. What makes the 3DS version better?
>>738014572I can tell you're mindbroken ps portal tendiekeep seething and malding ps portal tendie
>>738013448There's a market for a pocket handheld for low performance games and I feel like nothing is filling that right now.For me the DS lite was the best we ever got.I don't want a big powerful handheld console that I'm afraid of breaking. I want something that fits comfortably in my pocket.
>>738016527Emulation chinkhelds have been popular for a few years because they serve this market.
>>738016518>What makes the 3DS version better?It's nothing major, just a few slightly improved animations, most notably on the "character is entering Fever Mode" stuff. There's also a full english translation for 3DS-20th, so that's nice.

>>738015692>>738015741>>738015936>>738016068I am that anon, and no i didn't miss out. Bought a used blue 3DSXL from a gamer dad with buyer's remorse in 2014 in time for the free Pokemon X&Y promotion. He threw in copies of Link Between Worlds, 3D Land, Donkey Kong Returns, and NSMB 2 for free.Played through Zelda and 3D Land and enjoyed them well enough, dropped DK halfway through and barely touched NSMB 2 because it was just as bad as the DS and Wii games. I tried X&Y for the novelty of the 3D models and for nostalgia's sake, but jesus fucking christ is that game bad.I homebrewed the system, downloaded a ton of games, and it was all terrible. Bad remakes of DS RPGs, cringe anime fire emblem, lame as fuck mario & luigi, metroid 2: parry me bro, layton and ace attorney that no one asked for, the list goes on.tldr; 3DS games fucking suck
>>738014615>Fuckhuge>Fragile>Terrible battery>Need to make it even more fuckhuge to add proper buttonsGlass slabs don't even make good phones, let alone good consoles
>>738013448
>>738016840I'd like that too, but Nintendo was the last company doing that and they gave up. They still are making pocket-tier games like Metroid Dread or Echoes of Wisdom, but you've got to own the full fat handheld to play them unfortunately.I guess in the end smartphones did kill handhelds.
>>738016883You'd look really silly if you started gayming on your PC during a train ride though. It's better to just whip out your *eck
nah this is all i need
>>738013725>perfectly emulates N64unfortunately no, it only supports a handful of first party N64 games through VC, most of the rest either run like shite or don't run at all.
>niggers really, unironically play GBA, GBC and GB games on handhelds with shitty LCDs and not via Gameboy Interface on a CRT
1 chinkshit handheld does all of this for $80
>>738016972>having to hack a 300 dollar device just to play roms
>>738016840>>738016952>He's saying he wants another era like the GBA when everyone was suddenly making more SNES-style gamesMostly this, but we already have the games. Indies are cranking out 2d games all the time which could comfortably run on low-performance systems. I just want a small handheld that's good for playing them.
>>738017140It's called OpenFPGA for a reason. The native OS supports open source cores on the second FPGA.
>>738016783>find a flaw4 face buttons instead of 6
>>738017169yeah indies are great on handhelds, for a brief spell there the vita was killing it. switch is okay for indies but it's not nearly as portable.
>>738013448The PS Vita clears the 3ds.
>>738017208he said flaw
>>738017179this does everything the analogue does and its about 60 bucks
>>738017285Yes, but it has 0 basedboy score in comparison
>>738017285>ARM software emulation>chineseium build qualityI'd rather play on an original, nonbacklit GBA than touch this piece of shit.
>>738013605This and a Switch 2 is my go to. Chinkboy SP for nostalgia GBA games
>>738014301the border would be nice for DS games
>>738017356>>ARM software emulationyou were never going to play ps2 games on this, so what's the problem?
>>738017452>so what's the problem?You mean other than the massive input delay and inaccuracies? Well there's also the fact that the user interface is 100% guaranteed to be the most gaudy, tasteless thing imaginable.
>>738017285I remember i was drinking in the Paris catacombs with people once and someone pulled this out and we took turns playing Celeste. Good times.
>people still attack emulation in 2026Analogue exists solely to market to youtubers.>>738017574its gameboy and its 100% accurate. if you want to seethe about spending 300 bucks on what I spent 60 go, >>>/vr/ is down the hall>input latency doesnt exist>inaccuraciesdoesnt exist
>>738017574you would live a happier life if you didn't make up reasons to be upset
>>738017665You are actually bragging about spending 60 whole dollars on actual garbage. Trash that you definitely don't even use, mind you.
>>738013448I packed up my Fire Emblem New 3DS XL. It's worth quite a bit of money apparently so I don't want to lower it's value by continuing to use it. So I'm using my old standard 3DS XL
>>738017676Sometimes I do wonder if ignorance really is bliss. Like would I be happier if I was dumb enough to buy chinkheld #2816? Maybe, but I prefer not being that stupid.
for me, it's a $40 chinkheld that can play anything up to psx and some pc ports
>>738016783If they can make something with this form factor that can play Steam games, that's basically what I want.There's no reason I shouldn't be able to play something like Mewgenics on a device like this.Anything that can run on a potato and has standard controller support should work.
>>738018297We're not far off, SteamOS on ARM is promising.
>>738013448Nah.>PS1-tier or PS2-tier chinkheld>the dual-screen system of your choice, probably either a DSi or something from the 3DS family>Switch 1 or a PC-tier/Switch-tier chinkheld>BONUS: being a fan of a specific handheld gen and buying hacked, modded, tricked-out version of that handheld with an upgraded screen and battery and all thatWould factor in PC handhelds like the Deck or whatever, but those damn things are so huge that 99% of people just use them for playing on the couch for a couple months before they go back to their gaming PC.Of course all this stuff varies depending on taste, like you could pick a Thor and cover everything all at once but take a risk with the Chinesium hinge, or you could go with a Switch-tier chinkheld (maybe a hacked Switch?) and play all the retro stuff on that, including DS games (but doing things like having the screens side-by-side or toggled).If you can tolerate it, a phone can easily cover the lower-spec stuff and with a controller it could be even better, but you're stupid if you're doing hard gaming on your phone and zeroing your battery away from home just so you can play Pokemon Violet for half an hour at some coffee shop.
>738018130Of course the chinkshit buyer is a zoomer, definitely heard about it from an influencer on social media.
a retroid pocket 5 and a Mister FPGA made me sell my retro collection.
>>738013448hacked n3ds: a fuckload more consoles including the GBC and GB
>>738013448Cut out the GBC, replace it with a DS Lite. You can play DS and GBA on a screen made for it, then you can emulate GB/GBC on an R4 cart since literally anything can emulate that console near perfectly.
>>738017574>input delayI've never owned that specific chinkheld, but I've played rhythm games just fine on all the chinkhelds I've owned.If you wanna be extra fussy about it, you can even go into Retroarch and enable settings that drop any remaining delay down to zero for specific games that need it, but it sounds like you aren't interested in tinkering.
>>738018469>Mister AGP>Retroid Rot PocketFell for it
>>738016358FE Echoes is worth purchasing a 3DS by itself. Or just get it for PC and play it with upscaled textures via Citra.
>>738018585My copy of Echoes is DEAD
>>738018646I heard they are prone to end themselves like ORAS do. Mine is still running for now. Good thing I also got it on my SD card. Shit still sucks though, sorry for your loss.
you literally don't need more than this
>>738018475I'm always iffy about using DS/3DS for emulating earlier games since both systems have absolute shit screen res, so the non-integer scaling ends up looking awful (or you scale it down to match, but that just makes the screen look weird).It's better to emulate games on higher res screens so the integer scaling becomes basically irrelevant.
>>738018721It's alright my 3DS is bricked too.
>>738019389Did you fuck something up when you tried modding it?
>>738019456Probably. Followed all the steps but it can't find any boot files after the flash and I've gone through multiple SD cards and readers.
>>738017450Someone is working on an open_twl_firm apparently. May come in the future.
>>738013725honestly would a wii u and fat ps3 be the broadest range of gens being supported?
>>738019607heh, retard
>>738016957Why would I game in public?
>>738019794The developers insist it installed normally from the lights the console puts out, but I also have enough experience on softmodding to know that if there's a small chance of failure (1-2%) they'll just pretend it doesn't exist.
>>738019703yeah in terms of being able to pirate and play as many games as possible. series x, which reads og xbox, xbox 360, and xbox one discs, for supported games, is also a possibility but I think it doesnt work with piracy
>>738019703Only launch models of fat NTSC PS3s had full PS2s in them by the time the fat PS3 released in Europe it was already using partial emulation. Add to that the horrible scaling and the fact that fat PS3s are on life support and you're better off just using your PC or getting an actual PS2.
>>738013448n3dsps vitathat's all anybody needs with 2 consoleshonestly replacing the n3ds for the ds lite might actually be better though. you trade the 3ds library for the gba library which is much better
>>738013448I would unironically rather play on an N-Gage, PSP or my phone than ever touch any nintendo garbage ever again
>>738013605This
>>738018585Ive never played a fire emblem game in my life, what's the appeal? it seems like most fans are fujos>>738016358why is steel diver in a spoiler tag like it's controversial or something I thought it was funadd ACNL and the monhun games to the list too
>>738020705It's one of the few instances in which a remaster was done quite right. Gaiden has a lot of mechanics which are not present in other FEs but the game is carried really well by the story, character voice acting and overall gameplay. Some maps are pretty terrible (sticking true to their source material) and the game length is pretty decent too. The soundtrack is exceptional, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCfEKZREHvoNeedless to say that I have a heavy soft spot for Hidari, who did main artwork for Toukiden and the Ateleir Dusk trilogy.
>>738013725Wii U has impressive DS emulation but not perfect, I recall a lot of issues playing newer DS games that weren't officially supported. I had massive visual glitches in the overworld for HGSS for example
>>738013448What sort of custom firmware do you need to do that on 3DS XL? There is no way of loading GBA roms. I just use libretro to play them.
>>738013448>DS and GBA games on 3DSthey look like shit even in "fixed resolution" mode>>738013725Wii games look like shit on Wii U
>>738023803>like shit even in "fixed resolution" modeNever touched a 3DS, huh?>Wii games look like shit on Wii Uand also never a Wii U apparently, fixed years ago with USB Loader GXhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzJth1XFCBUYou have no fucking idea what you're talking about, poser.
>>738013448The 3DS doesn't play GBA games. Only the DS had a GBA slot. The GBA natively plays all GB games, though, so you could change this graphic to be GBA, 3DS, and Switch (or I guess Switch 2 now). Some Game Boy link cable games might not work if played on the GBA.
>>738023420Hack your 3DS following:https://3ds.hacks.guide/Then just put:https://github.com/profi200/open_agb_firm/releases/tag/beta_2024-12-24in the root of your SD cardput your GBA roms in your /roms/ folder or wherever you wantthen just hold START when powering on your 3DS and select open_agb_firmboom, your 3DS is now a fully functioning GBA using real hardware, no compromises>>738023803>Wii games look like shit on Wii UIdiot, is the best fucking way to play Wii games in 2026 now that USBLGX removed the deflicker filter.
>>738024330retard or llm, that fix is for the wii not the wii u. the same channel did post this video 2 weeks later though lmaohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIINayYXO00

>>738024654>that fix is for the wii not the wii uThe Wii U has a fucking Wii inside. Of course it's for Wii U too retard. It is where it MAKES SENSE TO USE THAT, because you'll use a Wii on a CRT, the deflicker filter should be turned off on a fuckin Wii U that it's meant to be conected to a flat panel with HDMI! Cmon, fucking retards.
>>738024778The video linked contains the information you need, I advise you watch it before making another post
>>738024330Have you? It looks awful to play a DS game shrunk on the 3DS screen, and also the touch screen is shrunk so you have to awkwardly use only the available area instead of the whole touchscreen. DS Lite/DSi is the only way to play DS games. And you can skip DS Lite if you already have a good GBA (og with screen mod) which will be better than GBA on DS Lite (and the cart sticking out)
>>738025034There are no good screen mods for the GBA, all of them add emulator-tier input lag. So what's even the point.

It contains quite a bit of misinformation, including the claim that you should use framebuffer, which isn’t true and breaks the correct aspect of the games. He’s just a YouTuber; he doesn’t have any real technical knowledge. The deflicker filter should be disabled on flat-panel TVs over HDMI, not on a CRT, which is where you would connect the Wii. But keep thinking what you want, you are wrong. Imagine 100% believing jewtubers.
>>738025335Why are you not responding to the new information you have been given?
>>738013448Amazing post OP.These are my mains but right now I'm playing mostly switch oled, turns out SMTVV looks way better than vanilla SMTV in handheld and I'm having a blast.Will play Kakarot later, then Subnautica and then Metro 2033, maybe also Portal 2. What an amazing console seriously.Then I'll probably play MGS2. Seriously.So I'm usually rockin' these.Bottom is Miyoo Flip which i manually downclocked it so it only runs at 1ghz with psOne games, so now it lasts around 6/7 hours playing gbc, gba, snes.I also have an rg556 for ps2 and gamecube and a ps3 for Fallout 3, The Last of Us, Ace Combat, Lost Planet, Shadow od Colossus Hd, God of war Hd...you name it.Just with these consoles i can game for YEARS. No Dei bullshit.Lemme guess...do you need more?
>>738013448lol six seven
>>738026050based video game enjoyer
>>738024683If you're going to include emulation and hacking, why not just get a Steamdeck because that can play everything?
>>738020513Yeah but OOT3D and Fire Emblem are godsend. I'd say vita and 3ds with screenpatch for ds and you're cooking. If you realize you're spending a lot of time playing DS then grab a dsi.
>>738013605>no dual screens
>>738026531It's basically ergonomics. Not that the deck isn't confortable but vita 2000 fits perfectly for example. GbaSp/gameboy/miyoo/rg35 you can carry in your pocket.Also 3ds has 3d which looks gorgeous.
>>738014354You're good bro
>>738013857Anon...
>>738025980I'm responding. You seem to not understand a thing. You get no more (you)s.
>>738013605So if you were a girl would you rather date a guy with 3 retro handhelds and a switch or a guy who has a steamdeck with 10 emulators, skyrim with nude mods and hatsune miku japanese version fadub?Fukin kek(Pic:me on top, you bot)
>>738026531>emulationit's not, there is GBA hardware inside 3DS>and hackingDon't be a retard and don't let Nintendo limit the functionality of your purchased hardware. Nintendo planed to sell GBA roms on the eShop, and that's why there is GBA hardware. They finally only end up releasing 10 GBA games with Ambassador Program and compromise themselves to not launch any more games and make it a gift to only those who purchase the 3DS at $250 as a compensation after the price reduction.
>>738013448>nintendo
>>738013605How's longevity? Is it easy to repair? Good supply of parts?
>>738013448>outdated >outdated >current So, I only need one?

>>738028214Only part that has failed so far on my original one is the SSD. Replacement was ~50 dollars for the replacement drive on Amazon. Repair took me about an hour since I also used that time to remove all the gaming gunk that was wedged into the seams of the clamshell.
>>738013687>>Switch 2 does not natively play Switch 1 gamesI thought it was partially emulation, partially hardware translation
>>738013605Nah you'll want the Thor as well
>>738013448psp slim is the best handheld tho
>>738013448Why not a Gameboy advanced SP for GBA games?
GPDwin5. But even that isn't powerful enough.
