R36s is a Chinese handheld game console with loads of different emulators via linux. Just about the best bang for your buck if you want to run anything from old Amiga and dos games up to play station 1, PSP and Nintendo 64. depending on sales, you can get one for 20 to 40 bucks, but to make it run well, you got to be able to do nerd stuff, or have a nerd friend who will help. if you gonna buy one get from reputable distributor, clones are everywhere, the clones still work ok, but is preferable to have the mainline product.
if you have local wifi i definitely recommend getting a device that can natively connect to it. lack of wifi / bluetooth is the main shortcoming of the r36s to my way of thinking, but there have to be some reasons they are so cheap.
That was basically the only use my PSP had before I finally got rid of it. I don't think I ever actually owned or played a PSP game on it, just emulators.
Was a pain in the ass getting the new card ready and I ended up without a fast-forward (if anyone knows how to ff on current Arkos lemme know) but I just finished final fantasy tactics. Revisited gta2 and Tony hawk pro skater 2 and holy shit, skill issue. I used to be good at those games lol.

Ah, I am currently looking for a Trimui Brick Hammer, though I may start with an Anbernic device and they are easier to come by for me...

Anbernic RG35xx does a better job at being GBA than GBA itself.

I got a Dingoo A320 in like 2010. Now I have 17ish SBC handhelds. And with these new dual screen ones hitting the market, it might be 18 real soon.

You really need a Cube XX or equivalent for Tate mode games.
I'm helping!

I just recently got a SteamDeck, but I thought that might not count as an SBC.

Wait, they continued to make games after 'Mech Warrior II?
Rooty@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 252d
