Hello, I wan’t to get my first handheld for playing retro games.

I’m mostly looking for a handheld that can handle 3rd generation consoles (nes/sega ms), 4th generation consoles ( pc engine/sega genesis/snes ) and handheld’s like gb/gbc/gba.

In general no need for 3d consoles like ps/n64/sega saturn ( would be a nice bonus if it could, but I’m mostly only interested in 2d consoles for now ).

Something with looks of a gameboy advanced would be nice in my opinion.

Would like it to be able to be modded with diff rom’s/customizable software and ability to be able add my own rom sets.

Price isn’t an issue and am looking for the most premium possible experience with 2d consoles (I would most likelly mostly be playing gba games ).

    Holy crap that’s a lot.

    If the Analogue Pocket has enough buttons for OP, that’s what I’d recommend.

    Other than that, I’m really only familiar with the Retroid brand.

    I imagine you’d be familiar with the other brands…do you have any specific brand recommendations to look out for?

      Sadly, I’ve never tried any. I found the list when I was looking for chips to make my own.
