Get the Odin 2. Base price is $299.
It can play all system up to until switch almost perfectly.

Switch is mostly good experience and most game runs great. But once the emulator improve it will be better. At this point it is the switch emu software hardware have plenty of power
·
Can someone school me on these. Does it come with games or do I need to download and transfer an emulator and games to a microSD card first? If so any recommended sites? Any good tutorials?

Are there handhelds like this that can run accuracy focused emulators such as BSNES?

I know some people are perfectly content with just compatibility but for me it's not good enough especially for the kinds of games I want to play.

jumped on one for $32 shipped, i wanted to try one of these and price wise, this is a great price to performance. For gameboy, nintendo snes, etc, mame, this is going to be great, but for more powerful games, i will use my legion go....

These will play most PSP games and some N64. Good price, capable device, but QA is nonexistent when it comes to Ali and refund/return process is painful.

I bought one month(s) back and it came after about a month. supplied cards were terrible. I replaced the card and a new install of Arch and loaded what I thought I wanted to play. Played it for 45 min and realized it's sized really well for a 12 yr old, not so much for a 50 yr old big guy. Hand cramps later I've popped it up on Offerup. Currently getting low ball offers because they saw it on SD for $29. lol.

I own a miyoo mini plus, I don't know if the stock does n64 emulation, but onion os doesn't. So this is disappointing. This R36S seems to do Dreamcast, n64 and PSP decently tho , and at half price

I have three of these for myself and the kiddos. They are great, and the N64 emulation is amazing. I played through the entirety of Diddy Kong Racing on this device. The Dreamcast emulation doesn't really run well so don't get it based on that. Didn't play much PSP but from what I saw it worked fine. All the rest of the systems run flawlessly.

My cousin got an emulator box with thousands of games. Do these handhelds come with games?

Quote from ice_cube :
How about the Trimui Smart Pro vs Powkiddy x55?

For these 2 models I think X55 has better ergonomics and speakers. Trimui handhelds have their own custom UI while Powkiddy just uses open source ones (JelOS, ArkOS, etc.) depending on your preference.

The other difference is the D-pad and left analog stick layout, as the original system's controllers tend to place the D-pad on the top.

* Powkiddy also makes an RGB10 Max3, which has the same internals as X55/RGB30 but a layout similar to Trimui Smart Pro.

It claims 10,000+ games... but you can add more if your fav is missing.

To anyone looking to have more comfort and either have a 3d printer or a library that does 3d prints like i do, their are a couple of grips available on thingiverse, i got this one and its made game play more enjoyable.
