I’ve been enjoying Pokemon Black 2 on my DSi XL, but I’m looking for something that can emulate other systems.
Performance wise, I’m looking for something that can play 3DS/2DS games. I’ll play only a handful of games to relive my childhood before moving onto other systems. I’m skipping the AYN Thor since in the long run, I’ll be playing mostly single screen games.
I really want something portable and pocketable, but putting it in my school bag is an option.
It needs to have good battery life. I play for only a couple of hours a day, just in between college classes, but I would like for it to last a few days.
Would phones count? I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro, and would recommend it as it’s surprisingly powerful for its release year. Can even tackle some PS2 games through AetherSX2 and using a vanilla Android. Also works with 3DS emulation, at least from what I tested of Bravely Second.
Second this. My Redmi 12 can run heavier PSP games and NDS. I didn’t try 3DS yet as I don’t know any worthwhile games and RetroArch requires some setup IIRC, which I haven’t been in the mood to do. Didn’t try PS2 either.
Just find a suitable gamepad. I have a cheap PS2 shaped ergonomic one I got for like 15 USD (it just says X3 Wireless Controller or some such; don’t remember the brand)
Dunno how it is through Retroarch, but what I used was a separated program, Lime3DS (“Azahar” now? Got the APK in the short window it was named that)
