That's nice. Anyway this does what you want, but if you want my personal opinion, nvidia shield portable would be better since it does have performance and quality. :)

I have this, and it even emulates PSP (With PPSSPP) nearly flawless. God Of War: Ghosts of Sparta is the only game that gives me slowdown that I've tested.

all the emulators i have on my PSP run fine, MasterBoy, GPSP KAI, Picodrive, Snes9x plays fine for the -few- games i play on snes (SMW, super bomber man, etc). Doom runs flawlessly, but i prefer it on the ds/3ds on that matter.. map on the bottmo screen, game on the top

It's not the speed, Snes9x on the PSP is ported from 1.43, prior to 1.52 which implemented Blargg's S-SMP core, so the audio emulation isn't accurate, that's my only beef with Snes9x on the PSP.

I realize that the PsP is probably the easiest option, but I am surprised no one even tried to suggest N3DS with CFW, and RetroArch.
Well cause is primiative and probably under developed compared to a 10 year old system. I dunno, i pick nvidia shield cause of performance and the ammount of usefulness in flexibility. Is designed for games, HIGH END Gaming, comapred to PC or CONSOLE games. Cause it can play pc games lol. :P

PSP is hands down the best portable system for emulation.

The only thing the 3DS is good at emulating is GBA and on N3DS, SNES. Otherwise, it's pretty shitty at emulation.
PSP just runs so much better compared to the 3DS.

It also has a support for tv plug and play. :)

Kinda sucks at GBA... unless you're talking VC injection, and in that case it opens up a lot of old systems there too. Not trying to say it's better than a PsP specifically, just saying it offers some decent options.

Still injection is not the ideal way to run all roms, and there no support for sms or gg or SMD which the op did ask for:unsure:
