Emulation Handheld?


Recommended Posts

I was umming and ahhing over getting a 3DS and after looking at the calibre of games compared with cost I decided against it.

I have a PS3 for the latest titles and I was looking for something I can use to play games from my childhood, which imo was the golden age of video games 80s/90s.

I want something I can play games from gameboy all the way up to n64, I looked at getting a PSP but it struggles with n64 games, there are a few chinese/korean handhelds such as the Cannoo, Wiz, etc.. but I want something a bit more powerful than the generic 500-600Mhz ARM cpus that power most of these handhelds.

I did also look into playing them on my phone but I spent a good 3 hours trying to get my dual shock 3 pad paired with my phone but it was a pain and using my phone isnt very useful as the battery life drops dramatically and theres no way to comfortably put the phone and use joypad to control.

Whichever device needs to have the power to play n64/ps1 games, I don't want to spend any more than ?150/200 for a really good device.

Does anyone have any devices or any ideas as to which device would be best?

Just to add, it doesnt need to be android, I don't care which OS it runs.

I don't think the Wiz is available for sale anymore, and it had problems with screen tearing. Also, I'm quite wary of anything by GPH. GP32 lasted 4 years, GP2X lasted 2 years, and the Wiz lasted 1 year. The Canoo might be running a bit longer than that, but just by the time dev support really picks up, they axe their old model and release a new one.

    • Can confirm, I've built stuff for others and no complaints using their products.
    • Yes I agree, it's annoying. You can now miss tabs unless you point low enough.

    • Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
