Hey y’all. First post on Lemmy!

I want to go back and play my favorite GameBoy games, and want to find the best way to do this on a handheld device. I have lots of cartridges, but ROM support would be nice! I’ve looked at Steamdeck but I’m not sold on it yet… the Analogue Pocket looks lush but expensive. The Miyoo Mini Plus looks promising, and the RG353V almost looks too good to be true. I specifically want to play GameBoy and GameBoy Color games, bonus points if it can do GameBoy Advance.

What say y’all?

    IMHO with an average Android phone and a 20/30$ gamepad, is your best bet. I use an Ipega Red Spider and I love it!

      I’ve had some problems using Lemuroid on an Android device. I can save the game, but then there seems to be some chance for it to forget that the save existed. I am not sure what caused it – there were no other issues with the phone, so my only guess is that maybe it has something to do with the phone shutting off the emulator to try to save battery? I never experimented with it enough to figure out what the cause was definitively.
