I recently got an Anbernic RG35XX and I friggin love that thing, but I'm curious what others are using to for their retro gaming. Steam Deck, Mister FGPA?
I have an Analogue Pocket. It is a great device but I wish it was in a horizontal formfactor. Vertical handhelds just aren’t that comfortable for me. Love the dock though so I can still get that big screen arcade feel.
Mister FPGA for me. Instant on and keeps me away from a pc or phone. What’s hardware emulated on it works flawlessly too. Can’t wait for that N64 core.
I had a pi4 with emulation station but spent more time skinning the UI instead of playing a game. Sd card corruption caused me to abandon it.
I always end up googling shit around emulation when playing on a PC instead of playing the games so I’ll always go for single purpose devices meself.
It varies. I have my desktop PC and couch gaming PC setup and can emulate on those (and do sometimes play PS2 and PS3 games on the couch PC setup), but I mostly play retro stuff on portables.
My devices:
Powkiddy X55 - 8, 16, 32 bit games, GBA, and some ports like Sonic Mania, TMNT Shredder’s Revenge, Streets of Rage Remake, Doom, etc.
2DS XL - NDS and 3DS
Samsung Tab S7 FE tablet with either Series X controller or wired 8bitdo Ultimate - Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, or if I want a bigger screen for some of the stuff I might play on the X55.
Honestly I just use my computer, boring as it is. I think it gives me the most flexibility for playing basically any and all games, even the ones that I have other hardware for.
I was for a long time using vintage hardware, I have severals Amiga 500, an A600, an A1200, a C64, two Atari XE, an Atari 2600 and a Sega Master System. And I thought about buying the NES. Unfortunately I have not enough space left and to be honest: I can't use all these computers and the same time. It's still cool to have original hardware but I've bought the RG405M about three weeks ago and I love it!
