Taking inspiration from the let’s discuss threads here. So. We all know PlayStation, Xbox. All that but what about systems from lesser brands? What do you like, dislike, what interests you?

For me, I’ve always found micro consoles interesting. Even if they suck in practice. Alps plug and play systems are cool. Was too young for both of those tho

I had thus Lexibook handheld. Imaging a GBA. Just shit. That’s what it kinda was, generic games and stuffDied after a few years. I also had the leapster explorer and a leapster2 I got second hand, they were OK as a kid, but the hames are shit in kindsight. The explorer now has life as a crap emulator.

Currently I emulate on handhelds but not sure what that would fall under.

    I kick-started the Ouya, years and years back. Played a few games on it, but it was just too underpowered.

    The GCW Zero was another similar story; just an underpowered handheld console.

    I really like the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. It’s a non-major console that is 1000% worth the money.

      I also have an rp4 pro. I also have an ambernic sp.

      I unironically want something like the ouya as a dedicated TV emulator box. For a 2013 device up to ps1 seems goob for the gcw. Tho open Linux handhelds are a dime a dozen now

        My GCW is too slow to play anything, honestly. It struggles with even GBA games. I love the idea of the Ouya as well, but I think that I’ll probably just go with an rPi if I ever go that route again.
