What kind of emulator/handheld console thing would be best useful for following systems?

NES, SNES, and the Game Boy line

Sega Master System, Mega Drive and Game Gear

Arcade emulation (The Classics, CPS1/CPS2 and Neo Geo)

...

Note: I normally use No-Intro PAL ROMs because I like accuracy and clean stuff ^^

Any other details would be nice about recommendation because, well ^^

Thanks!

 

A good amount of that can be emulated on the PSP, snes has issues afaik.. i think there's n64 emulation to an extent too

 

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

 

people say not to get a 3000, but that's what i have and it's fine for everything... generally the psp audio sounds like ass anyway

don't get PRO firmware, use ME, or LME

there's this plugin, i think it's called LEDA for using homebrew that requires older firmware

 

@LiveLatios, I'll keep that in mind ^^
Would I need to hardmod the PSP, though? I'd find that to be a pain in the arse but blarg. New to all the modding stuff, really lol.

(I really like the idea of emulators on the go plus it give me something to do. Would be really fun to play something on long trips and such, especially retro stuff.

Also I am intrigued by N64 emulation. I know daedalus was ported over but that emu has weird issues I tried to play MK64 in the Windows version and it looked all fucked, then again N64 emulation is horrible anyway.

 

I have no major complaints with PSP emulation except for 2.
1) the use of the memory stick format (costs of memory sticks are still pretty high. Get a dual microsd adapter and use w idenntical microsds. As far as I know, you can run up to 64gb with this.)
2) widescreen. This is great for newer games, but wasting the screen space to maintain the aspect ratio of the emulated games seems almost criminal and stretching to widescreen isn't much better.

That being said, it's a very good and easy to access device, but if you want an emulation beast with no hacking required, I would highly recommend a GCW-Zero. I *do not* own one, and I'm just suggesting it based on its given feature set and what others have said to me. As always read up on it and you may come to the same conclusion.

The even FAR BETTER alternative, if you enjoy that type of work is to make your own with a Raspberry PI 2 or 3 (preferably the 3 for its decent DC emulation). That would require you to design and make your own body, or buy into the kickstarters that exist for it, but you would end up with a device that could emulate ALL 4:3 devices in a manner that is as close as possible to its original aspect ratio. Almost all systems Dreamcast and below.

 

Have you heard of the GCW ZERO?

It does what you want, so maybe you should checx it out.

 

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.

 

Yeah, the size is kind of a deal mostly for a portable thing cause you can't fit into most pockets, you need like a bag or something to put in but maybe a case and some sort of attactment chain you can put on the inside of your clothing like how pocket watches have the chain you can put on your belt.

 

Somebody mentioned above "don't get a PSP 3000", please elaborate?
