My preferred handheld is the only one I've got: RG35XX, the only thing, I play a lot of, that it struggles with is Future Cop LAPD.

I'll eventually upgrade when a relatively flawless PS2 device hits my relatively low budget, or I get a Steam Deck. Until then I have other money sinks.

My RP2+ is...dying. ๐Ÿ˜ญ Paint is dinged and chipped, sticks drift, and the R1 button just...stopped working. I'm not dying to upgrade to a 3+, so this is right up my alley. Better analog stick placement, and hull sensor analog sticks fix my two main complaints I had with the 2+.

My PSP 1000 kicks ass :)

I've got a homebrewed 2DS XL and a RPFlip, just love the clamshell form factor!

I recently purchased a Retroid Pocket 3+ but I haven't had the time to really set it up yet. I was hoping it was plug-and-play simnilar to a mini console I bought a few years ago that was ready to go immediately. Unfortunately the Pocket 3+ is going to take some time to get going.

The Android setup took a long time on my Retroid, mainly due to all of the tweaking. I got a Miyoo Mini + afterwards and it was so much simpler that I may stick to more Linux oriented handhelds, or ones that dual boot.

The green one is such a beauty, especially if one were to install the black buttons. Can't justify buying one though since I already have a 2+ which is still running fine

Just recently picked up an RG353V. Works great though I have come to realize that the GameBoy form factor doesn't do well for dual analog sticks and trigger buttons. Playing Doom on it runs amazing but the way you hold it feels off. Same process as the landscape devices, pressed between your palms, but it feels less stable.

Other than that I've been basically playing it every night.
