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.

    • Fun fact: There are more Warhammer 40k games than there are stars in the universe.

    • Agreed. And this is a great discount offer! It's a shame that there's no discount offer option for people who would be fine subscribing for a year-long term, but pay monthly.
    • A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has returned to its standard giveaway procedures after weeks of mystery freebies. The latest drop is replacing last week's Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest games and has brought in a double giveaway offering Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. From the duo, Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks lands from developer Caged Element, and it's a racing game that was only released last year. The title has you piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures. The focus is on multiplayer mayhem, offering multiple game modes that have you fighting other players as everyone tries to survive and get across finish lines or destroy mechs. Crossplay support between PC and consoles has now arrived as part of a free update, too, giving a boost to matchmaking times for this multiplayer-focused title. If racing carnage isn't your thing, then The Ouroboros King offers tactics. The indie title is a mashup of chess and standard roguelike experience, letting players create their own armies to defeat an enemy faction, all on the familiar checkered board. There is a procedurally generated map, pieces with special abilities, relics that bend the game's rules to make overpowered builds, and more. The newly available Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
