I bought a retro handheld!

Just wanted to load it with every half good pre-2000 game ever.

Atari
NES
SNES
SEGA
PS1
ETC.,

256GB of childhood memories incoming.

$63....probably the best value:fun on earth lol.

Nice! I got several Anbernic handhelds, they're great! Easily the best way to play old games these days.

Is this better than Nintendo Switch?




Been wanting to get back into gaming.

I am so clueless about video games

Bought a Switch and havent opened it yet

Completely different.

This is purely for old-school Pre-2000 games.

I've heard this, I bought it with smallest SD card I could but so I can upgrade to a good one.

Is it just a normal SD card or a MicroSD card?

I understand, and that is my point exactly because I stopped playing games since SEGA genesis days. I guess I want to know how is the graphics, etc?

I have the regular version, wasn't even aware there was a "Plus" now

use it as a handheld emulator only (so GB, GBC, GBA and GG)

while console emulation works fine it just doesn't feel right to me since it needs a big screen imo and I have a Raspberry Pi for that

MicroSD

if it works the same as the OG there is the possibility to do a double SD setup (one for OS and chit and one for your ROMs) -> I'd recommend this

I'd also install Garlic OS if I was you (EDIT: seems like this isn't updated yet for the "Plus" so maybe hold on for now)

just looked up this "Plus" version

1 GB internal memory in this

if I got this i think I can put all the games I want on internal memory lol (or is an SD always required for OS???)

That's just the RAM and not a SD

ah ok, must've misinterpreted that from the description on the Dutch site I visited (tbh wouldn't have made much sense come to think of it)

anyway seems like a nice device, hopefully Garlic OS get's updated soon so you can install that

Been thinking of getting a PSVita but they're going for $150-$200
Anybody know of any of these sorts of things that can emulate PSP and N64 games?

If emulation wasn't so painful on an iPhone I'd just get a backbone.

The latest generation of these handhelds should play PSP and N64 well. Going beyond that you will need something serious.

Basically costs the same as the PSP with a smaller screen. And their website not functioning anymore makes me a little suspicious.

There's a ton of these handhelds, check out retro game corps on youtube.
