Great device for PSP emulation in particular. I find myself using this more than many of my more expensive gaming handhelds, just because it's lightweight and cheap enough I don't worry about traveling with it. You can tell the team who designed this thing have experience in the field, because it's an excellent first handheld for Mangmi.

Negatives:

Gamecube and PS2 emulation is a little too much for this handheld. You can get a few games to run in the Gamecube library, but I don't consider if a good experience.
No video out - The Snapdragon 662 doesn't support it. I think this is it's greatest weakness, as even my $40 RG35xx Pro has mini HDMI out.
Fan is audible and a little annoying when playing intensive games. Not terrible, but notable once it warms up.
Battery life is so-so. I'll sometimes get a solid 5 hours, sometimes under 3 hours. PSP with high upscaling in particular drains battery faster than expected.

Positives:

The sticks, triggers and face buttons all feel much better than you'd expect from a device under $100.
The screen, while not OLED, is very nice. Not oversaturated or oversharpened. No real ghosting issues.
Performance with PSP is 2-3x upscaling, depending on the game.
N64 seems best around 2x for demanding games (Goldeneye) but ranges up to 4x for light games.
Dreamcast generally works at 2x, but demanding titles may need 1x. (Shenmue)
Playstation is very stable at 5x with Duckstation.

To add onto this, bc it has a modern 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, it's great for local game streaming from a PC, Xbox, or PlayStation.
