In y'all opinion, what is the best handheld/console to emulate

[Merlloosos]

Hello guys, what is y'all opinion what is the handheld or console to emulate, on my last thread I asked y'all if y'all think I should emulate my phone, and now I'm asking for emulators, thanks:)

SNES, GameCube, ps1, ps2, PSP, vita

Maybe you should also write down what kind of smartphone you are using because the emulators all have different requirements and some smartphones can not cope with them??

I would recommend against emulating PS2 and Vita on your phone unless you have a high-end flagship phone due to the high specs involved.

You'll definitely be able to emulate anything up and including PSX (so NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, SEga CD, etc.) and you'll also be able to emulate GB, GBC, and GBA easily as well.

everything, just slap frame skip for maximum fun.

Thanks bro, I think I might not run PS2 and vita that well lol.

I am only emulating on PSP and PSX rn cuz I'm bored to emulate games lol,
I will emulate the things you said that I can emulate easily, thanks bro

With that SoC you could emulate up to Saturn / GameCube (most games).

But why would you want to emulate consoles in a phone with crappy touch controls? my suggestion is to grab a phone that has a broken screen and DisplayPort compatibility through usb-c port, hook it to a monitor, use a gamepad and enjoy the most of Android :)

I have a 4 year old phone with a Mali chipset and emulate ps2 and Vita games regularly.

For console the most optimal are SEGA MD/Genesis, SNES, N64 and PS1.
While for handheld I go for GBA, NDS and PSP.

In my totally non-expert opinion, to your question, (if I am reading it right) I would go with GBA. I use Retroarch on my phone for it but there are other standalone options in the play store. GBA is great for emulating on a phone because its got nice graphics, amazing diversity of games. and the screen ratio works well for on screen controls that don't intrude in the play area to badly. Other handhelds emulation like the PSP or DS things get cramped on the screen which (for me) diminish the experience.

if youre using android I'd recommend an emulator called classicboy. its an all in one and tends to work better for most systems on lower end devices than other emulators I've tried. it can emulate dreamcast/psp/ds and older and it's the one I recommend if you are just looking for something to play games on your phone.

All the good DS games with MelonDS. Vertical layout and touchscreen is a perfect fit for smartphones.

The three gameboys, mostly because you can emulate them in almost anything in console terms

 

[MetalSharkPlayer]

SNES, GameCube, ps1, ps2, PSP, vita

Vita is not good, i mean the only emulator for Vita is Vita3k and has got a lot of issues.

GBA, not only the best to emulate, I think it's probably got the best all round library of games on any console.
