I've seen some old threads regarding this discussion, however I have not seen any up to date threads.
What would you guys say is the best alternative/modern day PSP Go or Xperia Play? The idea of being able to carry something small that transforms into a gaming device is amazing and should be continued into the future.

I should stress that I am looking for something that I can whip out of my pocket and slay others with it's beauty and pocket-sized elegance

I know there is something called the PGS, but really? $250? No thank you.

I created a thread on dominating the world and I apologize for that. I was high. #420

for pocket size, psp go is pretty tough to beat. especially since you can also use tv out, and a dual shock3 to make it a micro console too

Never heard of the PGS. It's hard to find something that fits in your pocket. Xperia Play would be perfect but it has such a weak SoC that there is input lag on emulators. There is the PGD XD, roughly the size of a 3DS XL and a fairly powerful SoC. Probably won't fit in your pocket and you shouldn't, but I can't think of anything else.

I've just purchased a PSP Go + 16GB memory card for the exact reason...

31st March 2018 Update:

I have bought the M2 converter for my PSP Go. I now have 128GB Micro SD card inside this device + the internal 16GB.

I still carry mine with me everyday

I probably only take it out of the backpack to fiddle with once a month, but I always have it with me, heh

The PSP GO? How is latency on the GO? Is it noticeable? Is there any at all?

    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why does the health behavior exist if you can just use a variable?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    and nope the number still doesnt change
