So she sends me this clip for something called Retro Snap, I do a little reading up on it and discover that it’s overpriced, cheap hardware, made by a “business” that ghosts you when you need support, takes down negative reviews and even tries to bribe mods to take down critical posts. For starters. So fuck them.
Looking for alternatives, I learn about Anbernic, and as I’m reading up on them I very quickly feel overwhelmed by the huge variety of consoles on the market and vague info on what games you’ll get or how to get the ones you might want (yes I understand why but still).
So you, smart people, can you help a brother out?
I have the Anbernic rg351v and really love it for SNES, GBA and NES games. I can play N64 games but without the C buttons it’s harder. Great for arcade and rpg style games like Zelda and Secret of Mana, etc. I haven’t used it in awhile since I got a steam deck, but is a solid device in my opinion. Should be able to find around $100.
There are better ones that are landscape, larger screen, dual sticks, but for retro stuff I wanted as close to Gameboy form factor as possible
Another vote for the anbernic.
I had to ditch the memory card that came with it though. I use GarlicOS and use it for gba games
