We have a thread for general emulation and also for chinese handhelds with a focus on Anbernic so I'm assuming this is okay. It's become a real source of intrigue of late because there are so many of these as well as unofficial ones and the release model makes little sense to follow.
Additionally you can by the boards, single stick versions, twin stick versions, ones with a screen, ones with a tabletop cab, twin cabs etc ranging all the way to super expensive elaborate units with tons of peripheral support, four player units, sit down cabs etc. What I find impossible to navigate though is where the better end of the market sits. 3D support is okay but doesn't seem too worthwhile, lots of videos show Tekken 6 running which seems great but it's just the PSP version emulated. 2D support seems to be the main focus and you sadly can't get a version of this stuff with a focus on racing for a decent price. The mini-cabs seem to be hitting a great spot like the A12 shown in Yakumo's recent Retro Core vid
And though it doesn't seem to be easy to cheaply get hold of, in twin sticks land I think the Pandora's Box 18S seems to be the newest version (love light up features) though I find telling the point of new versions of these hard to understand:
Does anyone have any of these kinds of units or experience of them?
On paper it seems insane these are available whilst Capcom charges £200 for the same thing with 16 roms on it
