I'm thinking this might be a risky topic since it talks about emulation. DO NOT talk about where to get ROMs in this topic.

I've done a deep dive the past couple weeks and have even ordered two different handhelds to mess around with. One I put up for a raffle prize for a video game charity event and it went over super well.

The stuff they put on these machines is pretty much worthless, as is the SD card that comes in it. But if you get a new SD card and take some time to put on a new OS and emulators these things are great.

This one is the Anbernic RG351P and my current one. I would call it mid-tier. Seems to play up to N64/DC/PSP and those three consoles may have issues but everything before it runs great.

This was the one I put up for the raffle. The PowKiddy V90. SNES has issues, but Genesis and before all work perfectly.

Anybody ever mess with these?

I found most of my guides and how-to's and FAQ answers on this website.
https://retrogamecorps.com/

That website also does NOT TALK ABOUT WHERE TO GET GAMES.

There are machines that are more advanced than the ones show here that can play pretty much anything retro and allows streaming with Xbox and Steam and stuff. They are cool too.

No. I recommend instead getting repro consoles they generally do the same shit but also play carts and aren't just raspberry pis running emus from China.

That's the next area I'm looking into. I've seen the raspberry pi machines before and those things are great. My brother used to have an old console that did SNES and Sega cartridges. It was called the FC Twin or something like that.

The Soulja Console was basically just one of these with a branded sticker on it.

Emulators aren't. ROMs may be but it's a legal grey area depending on things like "do you own a physical copy of the game."

There's one out there that's pretty good that plays all Nintendo & Sega carts from NES / MS / SNES / Genesis
