All listed handhelds can reliably emulate most retro consoles up to the PS1 / Game Boy Advance (including SNES, Genesis, etc.). Some Nintendo DS is also possible, but limited by the lack of touchscreen and some DS titles requiring both screens to be displayed simultaneously (i.e. Contra 4, Yoshi's Island DS & some others). A limited selection of N64, PSP and Dreamcast is playable, but do not expect very many (these are aimed at being ideal up to PS1/GBA).

Excellent built quality, great screen, and it has KNULLI support that opens up Portmaster and other things. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with mine (especially playing GBA games on it).
Cons are that the sticks aren't excellent and pretty tiny but the majority of the games you'd likely be playing on here aren't stick-heavy and also the widescreen format means that many retro games won't use the whole screen. This didn't bother me at all but I know it can be a turn-off to some people.
If those don't bother you, then I highly recommend this handheld, especially if you're new to the hobby.

Minor correction in that Portmaster does not require Knulli or any custom OS. It is possible to use on the stock firmware.
Whatever OS is used, this device will support slightly fewer ports than other devices, so if someone if interested in specific ports, they should check compatibility first.

The downside is Portmaster has worse compatibility on Allwinner A133P devices (use "Devices" button here to check compatibility: https://portmaster.game
I also thought about switching to TrimUI Smart Pro. But in the end, I decided to stick with RG40XXH for a couple of reasons (L3/R3, smaller size for better portability, 4:3 screen for the type of retro games I want to play, more actively-maintained custom OS options, easier to move things around between my RG40XXH and RG34XXSP since they use the same SoC).

PSP games do look better on TrimUI Smart Pro with larger screen and no black borders.
Just wanted to check: Is the additional charge listed as a shipping fee or is it sales tax? Usually, when I click on the little question mark icon next to 'additional fee' (via desktop PC), it only shows the applicable state sales tax there. Thanks!
