Just picked 1 of these up on Ebay pretty cheap with a 256gb memory card.
Loads of games already installed, including N64, Dreamcast and PS2 games, which all seem to run fine.
I love retro gaming and have a X10 Pro stick for the TV.
But these hand held systems are superb, you can even stream PC and PS5 games with Moonlight and PXPlay, It has a very bright 120mhz display, The thumbstick ambient lighting is fully customizable.
So because im so geeky with retro gaming at the moment i found the Ambernic struggled with high end emulation.
So i sold that and went for a rather expensive AYN Odin 3... but so glad i did.
This beast plays xbox360, PS3, PS4, PSvita with ease, hitting 60FPS on the toughest of games... been playing COD black ops and Forza Horizon tonight, the performance was so mad i had to install Cluster Tune reduce clock speed to keep temps down.
This is a relatively new handheld with a Snapdragon Elite 8 processor, so drivers are experimental, but as they mature emulation will only get better and better.
If you've got the cash, and fancy a project, then get an arcade1up cabinet, and convert it to an all encompassing game system. You can get a MAME image for a Pi and have 13000+ games.
I bought a SF2 cabinet, Pi3 and a 256Gb memory card, grabbed an image from a torrent site, and followed a video on how to convert it all. Cost about £450 in total as I added new buttons, amp for the sound etc. Kids loved it, and im seriously thinking about getting another one to do the same again.
Code:
back-ups.me
has loads of ready made images for all types of Pi devices, and loads of information on reddit/youtube on the conversion. If you wanted to go full arcade then you could use a PC instead of a Pi.
Wow very interesting mate, nice find.
No work tomorrow, mrs is snoring her brains out, so just me, the Odin and a Henry westons .
Gonna see if i can get this working.
