I bought something a lot like this a few years back. Retroid Pocket 3+ ($150), while it had 4gb ram, it sported a Unisoc Tiger T618 CPU, which could only handle NES to N64 emulation. Bought a Lenovo Idea Pro tablet, which had Mediatek Dimensity 8300 & 8gb ram, it handles Gamecube, Wii and WiiU emulation. Some of the menus stutter, but when the game loads up, its works great without any tweaking. So I want to say if your looking for Gamecube, Wii or PS2 emulation, you'll need something faster than a Gen2 snapdragon and at least 8gb ram.

If there's one constant in this life you can be sure of, it's that Anbernic are working on a new handheld.

Just wait until Anbernic gets their hands a few thousand empty shells of the Nokia 3310
