Almost got this RP3+ set up. It's... uh, not very intuitive since it's all Android-based. Their launcher seems decent enough... but it crapped out while I was scanning for ROMs (don't care for that setup!), which meant I had to do it again after clearing out the data/cache for the app. Boo hiss.
On the bright side, I tested some Gamecube and it seemed to run surprisingly well for the brief period I ran Paper Mario and Twilight Princess. Still fighting with Dreamcast a bit - some stuff working great, but Armada, one of the games the bro really put some time in back in the day, isn't running very well. I'm going to wait for him to get his Google Play stuff set up so I can download ReDream and see if that works better than the build of Flycast on there.
Also been monkeying with default RetroArch settings. Audio latency is way too high - 128ms. I dropped it to 32ms in several cores, will probably monkey with more or show him how to change it if audio crackles. Disabled on-screen controls by default, set up proper hotkey to menu, remapped NES controls because they put the start/select buttons on the top of the unit for some weird reason... just lots of little things to make it more user-friendly. It'll be great once it's all ironed out, though.

www.pcworld.com/article/2198589/this-handheld-console-lets-you-play-the-classic-sega-cartridges.html"While no official release date or pricing has been locked in as yet, a final product can’t be too far off if Hyperkin’s announcement at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week is any indication–heck they’ve even got impressive images which show off the prototype console’s design, which slightly harks back to the classic Sega Genesis Nomad console of old. Waiting for a retail version is never easy, but the upside is that at least I have a little more time to visit flea markets and car boot sales for old Sega cartridges now."

Looks cool. I do have an actual Atari 8-bit computer but have little use for it as so many of the best titles are on other systems, likely other Atari systems. Actually, a good many of the 8-bit games are identical to the 5200 variants, but with less cucked controls.

Pretty funny. How was a tiny PVM like that even used in the past? Maybe a security control room and you just have to assume ANY movement on that tiny screen might be a bad thing? lol

The miniature PVMs in that link are modern creations, not legitimately old hardware. I'd pity a security guard that would need to monitor surveillance all night on a 3.5" screen.

That being said, there were definitely CRTs that came that small.

You could also watch TV on your Game Gear with an accessory. 3.2 inch screen.

The Commodore 64 Mini is...... okay. Really wouldn't recommend to casual C64 fans or nonfans as the built-in game selection is kinda weak. Exactly what you'd expect: Epyx plus a bunch of obscure Euro stuff.
Good news is: you can load this bastard up with ROMz. I'm gonna try some itch.io releases when I have a chance.
