I wanna get a low end emulator for my younger sis. All I nwwd is up to GBA, enough for some pokemon and Mario games, maybe Kirby too.

I'm fine with pre loaded ROMs and those shitty "(insert number) in one" type devices

Budget is as cheap as possible.

What can I get?

I remember I used to have one of those 400 in own famiclones it kidna sucked. But my sis liked it lol.

Hmm, maybe I should get a powkiddy thing

I think it depends on how long you think she'd actually use it. If it's for a couple months you could go for something like the Powkiddy V90 (the device people call a GBA SP clone) but if she's not shutting it off properly it can corrupt the SD card. You could still get the Datafrog and it might be good enough especially for Pokemon.

Anything is better than those 100 in 1 devices.

Yea, she's probably corrupt it in minutes, that or fond a way to break it.

Also of I got a v90 I'd wind up keeping it.

Datafrog or just an app on her phone seems like the best idea
