I’ve been trying to get into playing some old games I’ve either missed out on or have completely forgot I’ve even played. I now find myself wanting to play games from SNES and the Gameboy line and can’t settle down on which handheld to play all these games on.

I have my old 3DS handhelds, and XL and non-XL version (proprietary charging), Analogue Pocket (no SNES save states), Miyoo Mini + (currently shipping), a Switch, and a Steam Deck (too heavy for long playthroughs). I find myself constantly switching between them all and can’t settle down to actually play a game.

Anyone have any opinions on what’s the best handheld experience?

    That makes sense. I haven’t done much research into the pocket, but my understanding is that the FPGA allocated for the OpenFPGA cores is quite small, and that the save states on the MiSTer increase the FPGA usage quite considerably, so I guess it’s no superise that there isn’t enough space to a support them. I do have quite a lot of GB and GBA carts, and that’s really why I ordered one, but I’ve found myself using the save states on the rg35xx very frequently. It’s so convenient just to turn it off and for it to save.
