Not an original topic, but I just want some feedback and recommendations.
I sold my Japanese GBC childhood collection 5 years ago, and now I just want something in that form factor... Probably won't get another GBC, because of the investment needed to find games.
Therefore, here is what I've found:
Arduboy (more computer setup)
BittBoy (NES only)
Chinese clones with built-in games
GameShell (requires assembly)
GB Boy Color (Built-in games?)
My Arcade Go Gamer Portable (Easy to obtain at Walmart/Amazon Prime)
My Arcade Pixel Classic
My Arcade Gamer Mini
ODROID-GO (requires assembly)
Pigrrl 2 (probably ideal, but quite expensive)
PocketSprite (probably longest wait, won't be sure about it until I put my hands on one)
RetroMini (good compromise? How's the GB/GBC and modded ROM/save compatibility?)
RetroStone (cheaper than Pigrrl2)
I'm actually leaning towards the My Arcade Go Gamer Portable, because it's cheap, convenient to get, and doesn't replace my PSP/3DS for emulation (more original games hopefully). But I can't really find much info on it online, especially regarding battery life.
But if it is an emulation console, it must support my save files. Welcoming all sharing of experience with any of these handhelds or something eligible I've missed. Thanks!
