well for GB and GBA you could get a Gameboy Advance

>>5377320
I know, or an SP right? But I also want snes capability.

>>5377327
Install SNES9x on a cheap thinkpad

Stealing

>>5377331
No... I want something I can fit in my pocket.

Coolboy rs-97's are like $45 but you'll need custom firmware and rom support is hit-or-miss right now

Hey OP I've used em all and right now nothing beats a hacked 3ds, and I don't think anything ever will. You need it to run well and you need buttons. 3ds gets that done good

>>5377319
>>5377368
There was a thread about this where everyone concluded "steal a Switch from a nintendrone" is unironically the cheapest and easiest approach

Psp Go? Don't know how it handles SNES emulation though.

>SNES, GB, and GBA
>$200
NDS + R4? PSP?

>>5377472
I figured that would be the best method, but wasn't sure. I'll have to research it further. What about a hacked 3DS XL? Is that a thing?

>>5377862
The different sizes use essentially the exact same hardware, except for the screen
If you're deciding between models, go for the new shit, since it has more cores and a faster CPU

Emulator for your phone and a compact gamepad. Don't know which one of them is good though, my train of thought is just you have a phone anyway so you might as well use it.

>>5377319
Just get a PSP. Simple as.

>>5377319
Get a N3DS

>>5377319
don't bother with gpd (whatever) the dpad is shit

>>5377319
Used PSP.

>>5378060
As long as its not ios, emulating on that thing is a shitshow im glad ill never touch again

PSP 2000/3000 or a 3DS.
Main reasons to not take the 1000 are AV cables, better screens and more RAM, only reason to go for the 1000 is that Sony somehow got a hold of Nintendium in order to manufacture it.

>>5378060
>>5378470
OK ass holes. What new phone should I get? Serious question, don't reply with 500 paragraphs and a picture of a horse

>>5377319
vita hands down end thread

>>5377319
We have this fucking thread every goddamn day. Use your phone + a controller + a clip, or deal with the touch screen. Every other option requires additional steps and I bet, since you're fucking retarded, you can't be assed to go through with process. The answer NEVER fucking changes, and hasn't since the board's inception.
All these absolute niggers spamming the board with "hurr what's the best emulation device" need to get fucking euthenized. Info like this just needs to be thrown in the sticky at this fucking point.

>>5379004
Quit sperging out, weeb.

PSP, Vita, GPD XD Plus, or 3DS

>>5379004
it's ironic the people who think others are ruining boards ends up being the blind asshole who's ruining the board

>>5378026
This is a dumb question, but which flash cart would you recommend for this purpose? The R4 cards? Can they do SNES/GB/GBA?

>>5379004
And before I posted this was my first time to this board, so fuck you. I looked through the catalog, didn't see anything close enough, so I decided to post. Chill the fuck out and use filters you moronic dipshit.

>>5379524
>This is a dumb question, but which flash cart would you recommend for this purpose?
on the 3ds? only with emulator or injecting into other VC-games.
nds can play gba-games natively when using a ezflash 3in1, gb/gbc has do be done via emulator.

>>5377472
>>5377862
Go for a new2DS, it can run some games much better. A vita is a Nice option to play PS1 games too if ypu eventually can afford

what devices do you have? You can do all this on a 3ds

>>5379560
The Vita is the most attractive option honestly since it has a nice screen. The only real issue there is cost and getting one with the right firmware.

>>5379579
A Pixel 2 XL, which runs emulations well but the controller situation is a major problem. I tried two of 8bitdo's bluetooth controllers and they had such immense input lag that it was impossible to play anything other than a turn based RPG.

Honestly, since I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible, I think I'm just going to end up going with an SP and flash cart. SNES emulation would be nice, but adding that requirement on makes this whole thing either expensive or a pain in the ass. Plus an SP is extremely portable which is a huge feature.

>>5379524
>first time to this board
Yeah, no shit. Hence why I said this info should just be in the fucking sticky at this point, not like you fags would read it.

>>5379789
>I'm so angry people aren't just like me in my little subsection of the internet!

>>5379598
Got a Vita for free, waiting on a 3.69 hack now.

>>5381361
Why does that photo make my heart ache?

>>5377472
Can you get PS1 games to run on a 3ds or should I just get a PSP?

get a 2dsxl
ive got one and getting cfw on it is as easy as reading a dr seuss book

>>5381361
Might as well update to 3.70 as the hack has been stated to work for the latest version.

>>5381382
3DS can't run PS1. Get the PSP if that is your intention.

>>5379789
>>5379004
You seem upset. Maybe enjoy some sunlight.

>>5381407
or stay on 3.65

>>5377472
This is the answer, OP. Hacked 3DS is very sweet.

/g/ here

thinkpad x series with linux/emu will play above and ps1 & n64

>>5381407
Not taking any changes here, I want to use my Vita ASAP.

>>5381395
What about the 3Ds's? Any difference? I never owned one but figured it would be fun to go back and play some of those old 64 titles remastered in 3D.

>>5382623
You can't use homebrew on 3.69 either way.

PSP or Pi Zero handheld.

>>5382683
There are three major differences between 3DSs.
>New or not
A "New" 3DS has a better CPU, more ram, better 3D stability, and a few more buttons. They also use micro SD cards instead of normal ones. You really do want one if you plan on running emulators and homebrew.
>3DS or 2DS
A 2DS is missing the 3D effect.
>XL or not
Physical size, nothing else. The screen resolution is the same, just the pixels look bigger.

>>5382707
There's a hack coming in march

>>5381361
Suck man, got a PStv and Vita on 3.65. Comfy emu as fuck.

>>5377319
Buy a $60 3ds from gamestop and mod it?

>>5378363
Snes emulation on psp is absolute garbage.

Any recommendations for controllers for Android? I'm looking for one with a clip to hold the phone, if there are any that aren't garbage.

plz no bully

>>5383742
There are several clips out there to attach a phone to the dual shock 4

>>5379004
There really should be a sticky

>>5379004
>>5384084
there is a sticky. there's info about emulation of systems and emulation on systems, comparing technical info, accuracy and much more... these threads are ok cos people can share personal experiences imo

Any recommendations for Android phones? I don't have a phone

>>5386821
>Any recommendations for Android phones?
no, this is a gaming board.

>>5386875
A phone for playing games on, dipshit

>>5386990
>A phone for playing games
>A phone
