Too bad, the boomers need more insulin and cruise vacations.

Now try playing a game on a phone for 15 hours straight without charging

>>740622137
Why would I?
>>
>>740622310
Because you do use a portable gaming system also outside your own house, right?
>>
>>740622426
15 hours straight? And I am not allowed to charge it or use power bank?
>>
>>740622137
Your argument makes no sense. Nobody would ever play a game for 15 hours straight on handheld or a phone. Nobody.

What, you think internet stores aren't real? The problem is that these devices aren't that great.

>>740623192
these are great but we know that psp n64 ds and dreamcast are hit or miss on the under 100 price range

I guess they never miss, huh?

Or, if you have the hardware, buy an everdrive.

A phone overheats and throttles itself if you try to do anything other than read manga on it. Also touch screens are fucking dogshit control methods.

>>740626387
Literally every phone that doesn't have a fan built in has that issue. It's a fundamental part of the design, they have no heat management so they throttle.

A game boy SP lasted around 7-10 hours. A smartphone can easily keep up with that if you play something on the same computational level as a GBA game.
>>
>>740623496
only one of those things hasn't changed
i bet you can sympathize
>>
>>740623192
also you can use your phone as a emulating machine if it's powerful enough. either buy a bluetooth controller or one of those controller gruips

i legit felt sorry for those rom chips whose fate was to permanently encode in an overly-compressed and shitty way shitty forgettable cartoons

>>740621571
the SP was ergonomically superior, had a rechargable battery, and the backlight
it was the best handheld of all time (on top of being backwards compatible)
the only negative was lack of a headphone jack, you needed a gay ass split connector

the only things i didn't get about the GBA was why the boot screen didn't look like the ads, which looked cooler than what was shipped, and why the sound subsystem sucked so much balls

$79.99 in 2005 is about $135-140 now
Plenty of GPA SPs on eBay for around that much.
Pair it with an ever drive GBA cart and play all the games you'd ever want. Yeah the everdrive is $100 but you won't build much of a library for $100 anyway.

>>740628041

Many such cases!

The original GBA d-pad felt better.
>>
>>740629053
>no u
>>
>>740629551
not by any definition
the SP buttons had a certain snap to them that resulted in nintendo's best iteration of the d-pad
which is baffling because the contemporary cube had the very worst iteration of the d-pad

>the SP was ergonomically superior
What? No it wasn't. It's form factor was one of its only down sides.
>had a rechargable battery
Beneficial at the time, but today I'd rather use rechargeable AA's.
>and the backlight
Frontlight until the AGS-101 was released.
It also had a better speaker than the regular GBA.
