    Based on the system hardware it’s not worth it IMO. Too many limitations with that 1GB of RAM. People with less money who just want to play games and rom hacks would still have a blast though.

      That’s plenty for retro emulation, probably even overkill for the systems you can emulate on that RK3326 chip. I’ve been rocking a Miyoo Mini Plus which I picked up for about the same price two years ago, and that has 128MB RAM.

      You get what you pay for, these obviously aren’t meant to be high-end cutting-edge devices, but for the price they’re a pretty good deal for all the classics you can play.

    Curious! Might pick one up, see what I can make for it :D

    EDIT: On review, I already have a PS Vita that does all of these fairly effortlessly and in a smaller frame with more games.

    Really looking forward to the day we can do PS2/GameCube in a PS Vita form factor

      The retroid pocket 5 is kinda that. The Ayn Odin 2 Mini even more so.

      I plan on trying out the PS2 emulator on my phone since I have a Backbone. Maybe when I get my next phone upgrade, my old phone will be a dedicated emulator.
