I’ve been interested in the retro handhelds I’ve been seeing by companies like miyoo and AYN for a while. I’m curious to see this community’s thoughts on the available options. I’m thinking of asking my girlfriend to get me something like the Miyoo Flip V2 for Christmas. Basically what I want is a small handheld that is easy to bring with me everywhere and take out and play with for a few minutes while I have breaks at work. My budget would be around $100, but I’d be happy to hear thoughts on the more expensive options like the AYN Thor.

I do already have a steam deck for home, but I’m hoping for something a little more portable for playing around with older games.

    I have a Flip v2 and think it’s great. Very nice to use and carry around but the thumbsticks are average quality. It’s probably my favourite to take out with me.

    So far I’ve tried a couple different firmware, MinUI and Knulli, and everything up to PS1 emulation is good but stuff like N64/DC/PSP can be problematic.
