How are those emulation devices? I really want to buy that rg35xx but I think it'd really bother me trying to play say ps1 in such a small screen. And of course ds stuff wouldn't be that good considering the one small screen.

It's an Anbernic R353V, a R280V and a Miyoo Mini Plus. Honestly, I love them. Especially the Miyoo has a great form factor, I can play all the old RPGs with one hand.

PS1 is fine, although I'd recommend the 353V for that due to the analogue sticks. And I feel that the more colorful games are better on such small screens than say Tomb Raider or the like. Still lotsa fun.

I have the RG35XX, install black seraph’s GarlicOS on it and it’s perfect. The stock OS is terrible in comparison. It runs everything very well and can output to a TV if you want. Also, I’d trash the no-name sd card it comes with and provide your own.

Also it will not play DS, forgot to mention that. As there’s no analog stick you won’t be able to play n64 either, but otherwise it’s incredible for almost every other ps1-era and earlier system.
