You will want to have a new actual branded SD card, and load with ArkOS. Instructions here: https://joeysretrohandh
I got this for my 4 year old. He loves playing platformers, so I loaded it up with some classics plus Pico 8. I don't have to worry about microtransactions or him seeing something sketchy on YouTube, but I also don't have to sit right there watching his every move.
There are lots of options out there, but at this price point this is one of the more powerful cheap devices. To get something better you're looking at 60-75$.

Basically, any device will handle PS1 and below fine, and they're quite affordable.
Then, for quite a bit more money you can add some GameCube and PS2.
Then, for even more money, you can add very strong GameCube and PS2 performance, and some Switch.
Retrocatalog.com is a good resource for basic stats like you were hoping for.

Probably this. R36s is dirt cheap on AliEx (~23) but the main buttons are a bit hollow feeling with too much travel so it's hard to tell exactly when it actuates. Vertical is also a bit less comfortable but it has more of a retro look.
I don't have this one but an X55 (also from PK) and the buttons are much better. You don't have to do "programming" like the other comment said, but a bit of research. For example you need to flash a community-based OS image (be careful you can delete your external storage very easily) onto most of these with a high quality SD card and typically throw out the stock cheap card. After that you'll need to source your own roms since the pre installed ones could have issues.

For something similar in this price range, I'd recommend the Anbernic brand over Powkiddy.
