Odin 3

Oh wow! This would literally be my End Game handheld collection. Legion Go 2 - Z2 Extreme (For basically all types of gaming and PS3 and Xbox 360 emulation) AYN Odin 3 (For PSP, PS Vita and basically everything else) AYN Thor (For 3DS, DS and whatever fits with this one) Nintendo Switch 2 (For all N

Have you considered an OLED Android handheld like the Ayn Odin 3 or Portal? The Retroid Pocket 6 should also be coming out soon.cYou'll get much better battery life for emulation out of that with actually better PS2 performance than the Steam Deck (though mature software support kinda stops there ri

Only if you want to play Nintendo first party exclusives like Mario and Zelda. If not, get a Steamdeck, or another PC handheld that you can install Steam on. I've got all the consoles except for Xbox, and I've found myself using my Ayn Odin 3 a lot lately, since most handheld friendly Steam games ar

I love my Odin 2 mini, got the pro model for $299 on Amazon. I play a lot of switch and pc games on it these days, anything from doom 2016, and pokemon sword to stardew valley and octopath traveler. I will say the battery on the mini is more limited than the one in the Odin 3 for sure(although it ch

PS5 Pro - my main way to game…I get most of my games here and prefer the ecosystem. 75% of my time is spent gaming on the console or streaming it with my handhelds. Gaming PC - Recently got a 5080 (a couple months ago), and had 64 GB of RAM so I will be using this for a while to run my AAA PC games.

If you're still considering stuff, another option is handhelds. The obvious answer is a SteamDeck, but those are hard to find right now. A possible viable option right now is actually one that surprised me: Android handhelds. Those things pack a surprising punch. They were mostly used for retro emul

The problem with emulation on phones is the heat and the way the system manages RAM and uses the power of the SoC (Thanks to Bloatware) A handheld device allows you to fully utilize the power of the SoC, and thanks to its dedicated cooling system it can emulate many more things. If your budget allow

I stream from both my AMD and Nvidia rigs from gamescope-session (cachyos-handheld package). For AMD I needed to force an EDID in kernel boot params (I just cloned the EDID of my connected TV and force it on the HDMI port my TV is connected to, so it's only always seen as 1 display, without the forc

Retroid Pocket 5, AYN Odin 2 mini looks so cool man. As someone who had PSP as a kid and later tried playing on PPSSPP, an emulator app on Android, I really appreciate having physical buttons rather than just using the touch controls. These things are also running in Android meaning you can still in
