Has anyone tested God of War PSP or NBA 2k Dreamcast on one of the rg351 devices?

Handheld is the wave.
My switch lite is a 90s arcade machine.

Next purchase is a handheld that can run some csgo or lfd2 or some shooters.

Got a PC wit the bells and whistles but handheld will always be the goat device.

Design wise alot of these look cool as hell. But as someone who always had a modded version of the latest handheld (psp/3ds/vita/switch) i just never seen the need to splurge on one since functionally wise i already have it. Especially now that the switch deck is on it's way.


But again just design wise and form factor alot of these are sick. Way better designs then Nintendo and Sony came up with.

I mean, I been a big fan of retro handhelds since the GP2X. Its the simplistic yet intricate design of them machines that does something for me, along with the ability to have emulators and homebrew stuff on the go. While the modded handhelds saved time, its becoming harder to look for them along with expensive to keep up with them. Ala, the Vita which have proprietary memory cards. Plus, the modding process can be a pain in the ass.

Meanwhile you can by a 100 dollar or even a 40 dollar console that can do all of that without a tedious modding process, along with accessible firmware that is easy to follow.

Looking back at it, I should have just copped one of the newer retro handhelds instead of the Switch Lite which felt meh after a while.
