Can I get a quick consensus on which portable emulation computer is the best? PS Classic or SNES mini or Raspberry Pie?

PSC at $20 is the best value, SNES mini has the best controllers, rpi 4 is significantly faster than the others.

is there even a choice

The included emulator on the SNES classic is kind of shit. It works well for the included games but not if you want to play other ones. You can install another emulator on it, but at that point you might as well just get a decent under the tv box or a pi and install it on that. It would definitely have more procesing power for more accurate emulation.

I'd rather dip my balls in acid than play a Playstation D-pad game.

the PS1 has 16gb of memory but it is useless since the hack works only by a usb key

Pretty sure a RPi4-4GB beats the shit out of every classic mini console. Needs more time to set up though.

you must have really tiny baby hands to hate sony's dpad to that level. can't say I've ever had issue pulling off special moves with it. and it beats the piss out of that damned midget sized dpad nintendo stuck on the gamecube, that rendered resident evil unplayable.

Looks like the PS1 shit itself in that photo.

But a used ivy bridge pc with an an intel HD integrated graphics chipset. Micro ATX or laptop if you want it to be that small.

Well I use slim Dell Dimensions with low profile graphic cards but they're bigger than what OP means by "portable" and are undeniably more expensive including the video card but most retro emulation doesn't even use much video card power and even Intel integrated HD video chips paired with an ivy bridge will stomp everything OP listed including a Raspberry Pi 3. He forgot to throw in the "low power consumption" gotcha, though I think laptops are probably somewhat comparable in that department.
