The middle ground is to hack the original hardware

I installed it first time and never had to. I guess better options out there now but I still love mine

Which I did for that reason lol

Hacked Wii gets more playtime than my PS5

I want to hack my wifes wii but her mom has been hogging it since covid to play animal crossing (she still wont just buy a switch idgi)

if I ever get it back im hacking it, but my wife did give me her barely used 3ds xl and thats been fun to get pokemon on. Been trying to play through ultra sun physical, but stardew and pokemon pocket suck up the little free time I have lol

yeah the miyoo is great and installing onion is ez but the rg35xx just beat it out more recently as direct competitors. both are just old af, I couldnt imagine not having n64 at this point. too bad the stock OS for each is such garbage though

I love the small size of my rg28xx, and the horizontal layout is much better than youd guess. playing random psp games like tony hawk is nice as quick breaks from nuzlocke speed runs and stuff too. I never even installed custom firmware though I wanted to on it, its just less nessesary

I have a fire red gba rom mod for the Advanced im trying to finish it right now

Erick ark Flatbush Zombies releases his own GBA ROM title

I have a very large collection tbh

It depends what you're playing tbh

Arcade hardware > emulation virtually every time if you have the hardware to back up (Crts or a retrotink, a supergun or a whole ass cabinet), and if you care about latency real hardware wins virtually every time but i understand not everyone can be assed to go through the trouble

Why not just use ur phone , it's not like its an fpga device ur phone probably has a better processor in it anyway

I've had emulators before on a phone but never used to play since u get distracted easily by notifications and just doing other s*** plus u need to plug a game controller to make for a good experience. This has the retro form factor, great OS whilst being cheap AF. I've got a Nvidia Shield hooked up to my TV with all the emulators and I never play it whereas I've finished games on this thing. Just my experience

Playability is the main factor for me in buy retro.
