Yeah, it's the RG Slide, it's an Android handheld. Has a slide design like a PSP Go, but it's sized more like a n3DS XL. I have Retroid Pocket Nova pre-ordered, should be arriving in August, looking forward to that.

RG Slide. Nifty, if a little cramped. Can play everything up to PSP, and around half the Wii, GC, and PS2 catalogues.

The Silver GB Pocket in this picture is my original Game Boy. Before that I had a Game Gear (not sure where it is). I had a Virtual Boy, if that counts. I bought a white GBA with some Christmas money the year it came out (I think I was a freshman or sophmore3 in high school), along with Castlevania Circle of the Moon, but didn't end up liking it due to the shitty screen. I got a nDS the day that it came out, but by that point I was in college. Got a used PSP a couple of years later, which I fucking loved and still consider the PSP to be my favorite handheld of all time. All of the other stuff are later additions. The NES GBA SP in the picture is an AGS-101 that I bought from a pawn shop for $5 and reshelled. I have a bunch more handhelds these days, including a modded NGPC.

I don't get why Nintendo doesn't do reruns of gameboys, the hardware you need to emulate that thing is literally weaker than some calculators. The screen is the shittiest LCD you can find. It's legit Mattel toy tier. They can even do thematic ones if they really want to jew, like one with all Pokemon other with all Mario games, etc.
>>
>>743341889
Yeah, I mostly use the flashcarts pictured now. Since that picture I upgraded to the Everdrive GBA Pro, because that has a built-in tilt sensor and solar sensor (for the Boktai games).

I don't know. I am 37 and I get super happy when young people find and play games I played when I was a little boy. Makes me smile watching them rage at the same stupid shit I raged back them. That Anon of the pic is talking about bitter old people. It's one of the two paths you can take in life. You become a bitter cynic asshole that nobody likes.

You can spend less and get equivalent performance. What's your budget (USD), and what ideally did you want to play up to (SNES, PS1, DS, etc)?

You fucking queers made Retroarch out to be this eldritch beast from another dimension that's impossible to get working unless you're a gigabrained tech guy. Nothing about it took more than 10 minutes to set up. Either you fucking pseuds exaggerated to make yourselves sound smart or you're all genuinely retarded.
I really like Retroarch, by the way, I'm glad I put the effort in. Thanks for recommending it.

PS1 will see a resurgence next year, it just got a perfect ODE that is compatible with all models. Literally just remove like 6 screws, unplug the CD drive, plug the ODE and now you can play the entire library off a SD card. Tons of PS1's with broken drives being sold as scrap for peanuts right now will be saved (you can't find replacement drives, they essentially have be salvaged from another console and they are all dying)

I've seen lots of different decomp/recomp/port projects and the only one that doesn't suck massive dick is the mario 64 expanded port.

Decompiling the game is just a starting point, you still need to be able to competently build out and integrate all the tasks the original hardware took care of (input handling, graphics pipeline, etc.)

I remember the fucking Star Fox port was such a piece of shit that it would somehow break my bluetooth drivers at the same spots.

150 fucking euros. That's like $300 in dollarydoos, and that's before buying a refurbed PSONE/X for like $120 dollarydoos.

I'll just stick with the MiSTer (now the SuperStation One). I do still have my original PS1, but the MiSTer is just more convenient.

I just want them for my kids. I want a simple console they can boot up and play the classics on. The Mister Superstation looks good for that, but I could always just use an old NUC and boot it into bazzite I suppose instead.
