  Once we can handle Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox, I’ll be good. That covers all classic consoles. Everything after that is largely just newer versions of the same idea.

    I wonder how far away we are from Xbox emulation on Android?

    I think any handheld past the level you mentioned will just be a continued effort to create a lighter weight and more portable Steam Deck

  I love my Steam Deck and being able to emulate pretty much any PS3 era game and older.

  Is the N64 not 64 bit? They talk about retro handhelds trying to move towards playing consoles such as the Gamecube, but in my experience they are barely capable of playing the N64. Perhaps that has changed with the most recent retro handhelds from this year. On my Anbernic RG351MP it really struggles playing games such as Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time.

    Many handhelds being released now are capable of N64, and even more

    it could compute in 64 bits (which most games, especially from that time, did not need nor used)

    It had a 32 bit memory interface. Games need a lot of memory throughput so that was a limitation.

    It was technically 64 bit, but only in ways that didn’t matter

  I just read about this new Odin handheld and I think this is the best upcoming release takin in mind performance and price.

  I’m surprised the Evercade and Hyperkin Super Mega didn’t make the list.

  I’m really pleased with being able to own games on cartridges again on the Evercade ecosystem.
