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.
For me my favourite has been the RG34XX the GBA looking one. Due to nostalgia and the fact that I mostly play GBA games, but it works great for PS1 and SNES etc too.
I value silent buttons and a dim screen since I mostly play at night in bed beside my significant other and thankfully unlike most anbernics, this one is pretty silent compared to most. It could be better but manufacturers seem to not care about how silent or dim their handhelds can be so I often open up mine and mod them with foam and vinyl in specific places. Doing that to this one has made me pretty happy with it, whereas with my previous ones I never even really got close to what this one was like by default. Mostly thanks to them not using cheap clicky switches for the triggers.
