PSA: Retroid has a case that fits all these handhelds with the grip case. It's the Dual Screen case.
You can also just get the anbernic rg556/557 case off amazon for like $10. Fits exactly the same .

90s nostalgia handheld console options
My partner swears by Anbernic. I got him an RG556 for Christmas and he's played on it almost every day since. It's got an Oled screen, runs on android, and can emulate everything up to 6th Gen. (Came preloaded with the emulators and a few hundred games.) I paid €155 for it.

Upgrade from R36S?
For around 250 you can get a 219 you can get the retroid pocket g2,but if you want to wait a little bit, and pay a bit more you can get a retroid pocket 6. On a cheaper price point you can get the anbernic rg556 as well. Be aware that these mainly run android. I would mainly reccomend these, but if

I’m switching to retro gaming
Get yourself a recent Anbernic device, a beefy mini SD card, and a USB C to HDMi cable. You'll be set for the rest of your life if you look after it. I have the RG556 (for about €151) and it runs just about anything from the second generation up to the 6th generation. Supports literal tens of thousa

what kind of games do you guys like?
I bought gtaV 6 months ago and barley have 10 hours in it. I don't have the time for long involving games like that anymore. I bought a hand held retro device (anbernic rg556) and that thing I do like. Mainly playing God of War and ridge racer (psp), soul caliber (dreamcast), and tons of nostalgic S

Alternative à la Nostalgear?
Salut ! Alors oui, tu as bien flairé le truc : la Nostalgear c'est une box Android chinoise à ~60€ revendue 200€ avec un joli packaging et un branding "made in France". Le hardware c'est un processeur S905X4 qu'on retrouve partout sur AliExpress dans des boîtiers à une fraction du prix, et les fameu

Recommendation for PSP handheld
I use both the Anbernic RG556 and RP6 for different purposes. The RG556 is my dedicated PSP device. I chose it over the Magmi Air X for the OLED screen and extra power, especially with a good AliExpress sale deal. If you mainly want PSP, it’s the better pick. The RP6 is more of an all-in-one. It han

Handheld android
Io guarderei l’Anbernic RG556. Non è minuscola, però è ancora “portabile umana”, Android, OLED bello grosso e con il T820 per roba PSP/Dreamcast/PS1 vai serenissimo; 3DS dipende dal gioco, ma Pokémon e titoli leggeri di solito girano dignitosamente smanettando un filo con risoluzione e Vulkan. Io so
