The world of mobile game emulation has been astir recently, ever since Apple opened the App Store to game emulators a couple months ago. Popular emulation apps like Delta, PPSSPP, RetroArch, and Gamma have made their way onto iOS, making it possible for gamers to play their favorite retro titles on the go — and more are sure to come.

However, long before any of this news broke, there were already a bunch of handheld emulator consoles available on the market, and they are arguably an even better way to enjoy this pastime, given the level of tinkering and modding diehard hobbyists get to enjoy.

For many of those enthusiasts, the RG353V is the king of portable emulator consoles, and it’s easy to see why. It supports both Android 11 and 64-bit Linux, offers connectivity over 5G Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2, has a touchscreen with support for multi-touch, features all the controls you could possibly need (including analog joysticks), and can be output to a TV or external display via HDMI.

Most importantly though, you can play games from all sorts of older consoles, including PS1, N64, Sega Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo/Super Famicom, NES, Neo Geo, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Color, and a bunch more. I won’t discuss how to obtain the game ROMs for such things, other than to say you should legally own every title you add to the handheld console.

You can get the RG353V for $140 on Amazon in your choice of solid white, transparent purple, transparent black, and solid grey. (Note: The pair of RG353VS models you’ll see on that page are Linux-only models without touchscreen functionality or wireless screen projection.)
