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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
