YMMV on results, however. Depending on the title, it either looks fantastic or in other cases, doesn't work very well and looks glitchy (to where it's noticeable and a distraction, so I just disable the widescreen hack on those games).
It's hit or miss, but awesome whenever it does work well with a game.
Dreamcast, N64, PS1 and SEGA Genesis are the ones I've tried so far that have this feature. Not sure if other systems on it also have that capability too. The way you enable it is by highlighting a game on the list, clicking the X button, then selecting the core labeled either "16:9" or "Wide". Some RetroArch cores also have the ability to enable widescreen hacks on certain systems.

Your phone has superior: screen, speakers, storage capacity, cpu, security, battery life, build quality, emulator accuracy and access, basically everything.
You can also use those clamp on controllers as standalone controllers which comes in handy when on vacation - use as an attached controller for your phone while on the plane, then detach and use it with your PC on the hotel television as a standalone bluetooth controller.
For those souls seeing value in the SD card filled with games, I have several words for you: The Internet Archive.
On the r/SBCgaming subreddit (the subreddit dedicated to these kinds of devices), you regularly see posts where people show off like 10 different devices. That always kind of blows my mind....
Portmaster is hit or miss, can run stardew valley, but the N64 Zelda ports don't work on crossmix, but work on knulli. Sticks kinda suck, hard to control because of how short the travel is and how small they are and they don't have enough resistance. The lack of R3/L3 sucks if you wanna stream to it from a PC.
I would say the biggest problem with it is the price. I paid 52 for mine and while that's not a bad price necessarily, I also paid 53 for my moto G Power which came with a month of phone service and absolutely blows the TSP out of the water. G Power has 8GB of RAM and can do GameCube pretty well for the same price.
I love being able to play all the ps1 games I never got to finish as a kid. Tales of destiny 2, star ocean, lunar, parasite eve. I own the disc's but emulation is the only way to play.
This device gad one problem and that the joysticks have an inverted issue in some games. And they lock up. This happens in marathon and postmaster.
Retro game Corp talks about this in one of their kids on the device.
The absolute best thing about this is it has good supported os that you can put on it. I'm using cross mix. The problem with most of these retro gaming handheld is that there isn't a goos community or the available os options stink, or are behind on updates. Companies like ataneo, Detroit, anbernic don't help by releasing a million versions of handheld.
Anyway, 38 bucks is great.
Spend another 5, get the trimuicase and screem protector.

This is a very solid handheld for under $40. They also hold their value pretty well too. So if you get it and find you're one of those people that just don't use it much, you can always sell it. I bought mine for like $47 on AliExpress early last year and sold it on eBay in December (after installing Crossmix) for $75 when I upgraded to an Anbernic RG556.
People will pay more money to not have to deal with AliExpress and to get their item faster. I'm not suggesting this as a money making opportunity, just as an option to potentially break even if you get one and end up not using it much (as one person has questioned about in this thread)
