I recommend what I have, Miyoo Mini (hard to get but there is a plus model which is easier to get) RG351v (old model, but still works well for a wide range of games, same as Miyoo actually being PS1 the top).
Devices that I don’t have but I wanna get:
Retroid Pocket 3 Plus (plays nice with PSP, N64 and Dreamcast).
Odin Pro (same as RP3+ and some GCN, Wii, and PS2).
Steam Deck (you lose portability but runs all above perfectly if not almost perfectly plus PC gaming on the go and some light emulation of PS3 and 360).
Thanks for the complete answer pal!
I’d be actually really interested in playing PS2 games, so I’m taking a look into the Odin Pro.
The Steam Deck is beyond my budget for retro gaming, but as you just said it is more of a portable PC than a gaming device.
Be aware that maybe I am not very updated, Odin Pro was the best thing ever that is not the Steam Deck last time I checked and this market moves fast (albeit it doesn’t feel like it) so as I commented before, RetroGameCorps is the best source to keep you informed about this amazing niche gaming sector.
Even when I might sound contradictory I still think Odin Pro might be the best choice for PS2 with a tight budget… But it is not perfect, if you want perfection Steam Deck is the way to go.
You could also reuse your own hardware if you happen to have a competent phone, just buy a telescopic controller and then you can try PS2 games in your Android device, not the best in the world, but you might get a better idea of how this is done.
Odin Pro I think it has a SD 845 and runs on Android, so it is basically that, a phone with a controller attached lol.
PS2 games are super hard to emulate. That’s the shan-gree-lah of emulation. If the product mentioned can emulate PS2 games, I guess it can emulate just about anything.
This, does anyone have some recommendations?
