So she sends me this clip for something called Retro Snap, I do a little reading up on it and discover that it’s overpriced, cheap hardware, made by a “business” that ghosts you when you need support, takes down negative reviews and even tries to bribe mods to take down critical posts. For starters. So fuck them.

Looking for alternatives, I learn about Anbernic, and as I’m reading up on them I very quickly feel overwhelmed by the huge variety of consoles on the market and vague info on what games you’ll get or how to get the ones you might want (yes I understand why but still).

So you, smart people, can you help a brother out?

    Same, really enjoy my miyoo mini. Not expensive and hours of old school fun. After a while I did start looking at more powerful handhelds to try and play n64 and early PlayStation games, but they all seemed too pricey. But it really depends what you want to play.
