I’m just wondering if any of you guys are into handheld emulators as much as I am. I have a gpd xd+, and modded new 3ds xl, a retro mini, and I’m currently waiting on gameboy zero, gameshell, and the new bittboy to come in the mail. I also have a vita and a switch (I ply mostly in handheld mode). Plz tell me in not the only one that loves handhelds this much lol​:v:t5:🤷🏾‍♂️

I thought about getting one. I have a pocket sprite. I know they aren’t the same. But I don’t want two tiny handhelds. And I heard the battery life is a little better on the pocketsprite

I have a waveshare Gamehat and a retrostone. Waiting on the gameshell. Fun part for me is modding and programming the images.

I like the restrostone because of the larger screen and the triggers on the back of the device. Solid build quality as well.

I may eventually pick up the retrostone. I do like all the functionalities of it. But I’m assuming that by the end of this month, I’ll have my gameshell AND my gameboy zero. And both of those share a basic similarity to the retrostone. I know they aren’t as powerful. But I already have a gpd xd+ and I think that’s much closer to the specs of a retrostone, if not more powerful.

This device emulates GBA flawlessly. I made a video to prove the fact. My device ran out of battery at the end. Forgive me lol

Hey no worries man!

Are you on 0.3?

I’ve heard mGBA runs much smoother with the LIMA driver more in place… but it’s still to unstable of a build for me to use ATM.

I got the Gameshell (obviously) and two Odroid GOs, one for gaming and one for Arduino tinkering. I love the Odroids too, they are cheap and their clear plastic is great for case mods.
