Mods pls delete if you consider this illegal activities. These devices are not illegal, loading roms for games you do not own are.

I want to get my mother a Chinese emulation handheld, and I know there are some in the $100-150 range that are very slick and will even emulate Dreamcast and a couple of GameCube games.

I'm trying to spend more like $50 because my mom is going to play nothing but bubble bobble, Tetris, burger time, shit like that (NES, SNES, Game Boy Color is all she would need). But I don't want it to be unresponsive. The battery life is not a big deal either because she'll play it at home more often than not.

Thanks for recommendations CE. I figured I would ask you guys before going down the YouTube rabbit hole because there are a BUNCH of these handhelds on the market now.

Retroid Pocket is hands down the best device of that nature. It's around $100 I think

She doesn't want to have something separate. Kinda awkward to sit in a recliner and prop a tablet on your knees.

The devices im speaking of are basically android tablets with controllers built in. They either run some sorta Linux or android
