There are a lot of ways to play the old video games. For me, my favorite way is with one of the little 3rd party retro game devices. I had a RGB10 Max 2 and it was great, but I dropped it and it broke. Im using an RG35XX and it's working great for PS1 and earlier. I'd love to get something more powerful for PS2 games but maybe in the future.

Chat in here about if you have a little handheld or your particular way of playing these great old games!

I've got a PSP for handheld emulation. It's pretty good, runs well on most games. I imagine my Vita will be better when I actually get around to modding it.

Miyoo Mini + owner here, and I love it! It's perfect for taking anywhere and pulling out for a quick five minute play. Been playing mostly GBA games on it, which it is perfect for.

I’ve got a Retroid Pocket 3+ and I adore the thing. It was originally a 3 and I upgraded the PCB and analog sticks. I didn’t realize how fun it is to exchange your own parts.

Still rockin' a softmodded PSP over here, works great

How is the battery life on that thing? I'm tempted to get one, the hardware looks so nice.

[–] scrux@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I’ve never officially tested it but it lasts a long time. Don’t run games off UMD it will drastically decrease battery life

Anyone know of a good phone attachment? I'm sure my phone has more than enough power for most emulation.

I've used the Gamesir X2 and it works well. Only issue is I can't have my phone case on at the same time, so I have to take it off. I think I have the 2nd revision, there is a 3rd one out now last I heard.

RG353V running ArkOS over here! Currently making my way through Earthbound while also playing another Stardew save via PortMaster. Great device!

I just recieved my Miyoo Mini + yesterday and I'm blown away with the PS1 performance! Unsure about the size though, it's much smaller that I expected. Time will tell. OnionOS is superb though

You should get your hands on the regular ! Tiny bit mighty

[–] Dream_state@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nahhh, too small for me. Cool though!

@Dream_state @HiddenTower nice, I wish I had the plus, wifi is very useful

I have an analogue pocket. I use it a ton and love it!

Really wish I could get my hands on one. The waiting list is nearly a year long.
