I’ve been trying to get into playing some old games I’ve either missed out on or have completely forgot I’ve even played. I now find myself wanting to play games from SNES and the Gameboy line and can’t settle down on which handheld to play all these games on.

I have my old 3DS handhelds, and XL and non-XL version (proprietary charging), Analogue Pocket (no SNES save states), Miyoo Mini + (currently shipping), a Switch, and a Steam Deck (too heavy for long playthroughs). I find myself constantly switching between them all and can’t settle down to actually play a game.

Anyone have any opinions on what’s the best handheld experience?

      For GBA emulation I only played Metroid which worked perfectly good, and ever tried emulating SNES

      PS1 emulation, PSP in Adrenaline, and 3D Space Cadet Pinball worked superb for me. To be fair I only got rid of Vita cause I didn’t have a use case for it that Steam Deck couldn’t do, and I don’t really mind its weight

      From what I’ve tried last time, mGBA was running pretty bad on it while playing FFVI. But I plan to buy steam deck or some alt if there’s anything nice with OLED display instead as I love the OLEDs in my PS Vita and Switch.
