I've been thinking about this for a bit and I think I should turn my Razer Edge into a handheld that only does emulation. For anyone that doesn't know what this is, here's a link.


I've had this for a few years now and it's great at handling emulation, but the battery life is terrible. I can't leave it on overnight without the battery draining completely. So I figured maybe I should completely root it and install a different OS on it. Preferably one that only does emulation. The thing is I don't know if there's an OS that exists for that purpose. I know there is for those cheap retro handhelds. I've also tried Daijisho and Launchbox, but Launchbox is slow and Daijisho isn't very customizable. So if anyone has attempted or knows anything about the best way to handle emulation on Android then I would be glad to receive any advice. Thanks, everyone.
 
Since it is an android phone, you can follow pretty much any modern tutorial for those gaming handhelds such as the Retroid Pocket 4/5.

Basically you need to setup every emulator and then install a cool frontend (like Daijisho or EmulationStation) to make everything look cool and professional.

You WILL spend a couple of days setting everything the way you want -- specially setting up the systems that need retroarch, which has a slightly steep learning curve -- but it's worth the time spent.
