I’ve basically stopped at my SEGA Saturn, gaming tech wise.

I used to carry a Game Boy Color from about when I was 20 to when I was 26.

Recently, my girlfriend gave me some weird crummy little NES/GBC emulator device from AliBaba and I like it because it is lightweight, has a backlight; charges via USB and lasts forever. I love it.

At home, though; it’s strictly my SEGA, still. I don’t think I will ever evolve.

As an old Saturn fan, any recommendations?

Link to the device at Alibaba?

Not OP, but I also bought such a device on Amazon two months ago. After doing some research, I went for the Anbernic RG351P. I've been quite happy so far.

Ambernics seem to be very high build quality. I got the RG280v myself after some research. It's not as powerful (so it can't play every PS1 game at full frame rate) and does not have analog sticks.

But it is very small and I think that along with save states and standby helps it be more of a pick up and play toy for short bursts, more so than my 3DS or vita.

Thanks both

I use a 3ds for that, it's easily modded and can emulate a lot of consoles:

Unfortunately, again; my girlfriend purchased it for me months ago - it doesn’t appear to have any sort of branding on it, unfortunately. :(

It looks like a very thin GBC with four buttons instead of two and two shoulder buttons, if that helps.
