For me, it was the original Miyoo Mini in 2022 and then from there, I got myself an RG353V. Rocked with those two back and forth for a while before getting curious about emulating a gaming generation higher. So, I got rp3+ and a steam deck.

Between those four, I pretty much had all I needed, but still amassed another 14 or so devices since then.

Where it’s at now is going between my Odin 2 and a much smaller pocket device (revisiting my MM+ lately).

These devices have always been a wonder to my perception of gaming capability. Imagine the amount of carts and discs some of us would have, if not for ability of the devices to digitize our gaming childhoods, so that the entirety of them can fit in our pockets.

Amazing.

After owning and selling off a few other devices, I've finally trimmed down to my favourite 3. The PSP Go and MM is probably gonna stay in my collection indefinitely and the RP4P will probably be here until something much better comes up or they fix the bloody sleep battery drain issue. The Retroid runs all the higher end/widescreen and PC games (Geforce Now), the Go only for PSP and the MM for mostly 16bit or older. Covers pretty much everything and they're all actually portable enough to carry everywhere unlike the Steam deck that I got rid off. I can stop thinking about getting any new devices for a while which is a major win.

I've tried so many handhelds now, and with every one of them I've had one personal issue. The lack of C buttons. I know the right analog stick is always bound to them, but there are so many games on the N64 where it just doesn't feel right to use the analog stick rather than a set of C buttons.

I purchased my one and only handheld – the RG351P – back in March of 2021, and have played a ton on it since. I’ve mostly re-visited some old favourites, but I had a chance to experience some first playthroughs on it. Has anyone else experienced games for the first time on an SBC, and what were your favourites?

Persona 3 Portable (PSP) – I recently played Persona 5 & 4 on my Switch and decided to just keep going backwards and play 3. It’s crazy how the gameplay was innovated with this game way back in the 2000s and it still holds up today. The story is also way darker than 4 and 5 so that was also a surprise. Incredible game and currently going through the remake on Xbox!

Tokimeki Memorial (English Translated SNES & Japanese PS) – After watching the multi-hour Tim Rogers review of the game, how could you not try it out? Again, a game that still holds up in a lot of respects, and it is addicting to try out different paths and see all the scenarios available. Another game that certainly has held up. I did even try a few plays of the PS Japanese version just to see how much better the animations are and some of the content that was cut for SNES.

Snatcher (Sega CD) – This is one of those games where I can’t believe I hadn’t played before. While some of the mechanics are a little dated (clicking around everything, sometimes multiple times, to find the place to progress), this game just sucks you into it’s world so easily. The characters are memorable, the voice acting is great, the story is engrossing, really not a whole lot to gripe about here. Currently have Policenauts on the backlog!

Castlevania Bloodlines (Genesis) – I’m not sure if this is controversial or not, but I liked this way more than Super Castlevania IV on the SNES. The controls feel better, the stage design was more fun to navigate, and the boss fights were really impressive.

Mega Man V (GB) – I actually played this and then played it again when the DX colourized romhack came out. I wrote off all of the Mega Man Gameboy games as being compromised and never had an interest in playing them, but this game is very well done and is (in my opinion) even better than some of the NES entries. If you’re a fan of Mega Man but have not played it, you certainly need to check it out.

What are some of yours? I'm about ready to move on from the 351P as my main unit but certain have had a lot of great memories with it thanks to these games!

As posted by StonedEdge here, apparently getting 3x resolution on F-Zero GX. That is very impressive. Not a real vulkan driver with any good compat it seems but wow, I didn’t realize RK3588 was packing this much power
