the agaric system

hey okay this is kinda important, do you all have suggestions for like, "emulator consoles?" like, basically they're just little things that're designed to be portable ways to play emulated games.

@shroomie for low end emulation (up to psx) the rg280m is pretty much perfect. retro game corps also did a video guide a while ago on how to set it up nicely :)

for higher end stuff, the retroid pocket 3+ has treated me pretty well. it can kinda do ps2.

if you really wanna go all out, the odin 2 can apparently do wii u emulation! it's older brother (odin 1) can also do the wii very reliably, and both of them are android so they're kinda easy to set up, too :)

@shroomie (i mean do look into prices and stuff, and check that the one you want integer scales nicely with the likes of the gameboy and famicom- shaun inman made a tool for this a while back:

@shroomie if you wanna look into it more, taki udon (youtuber) does emulation handheld reviews and guides something like every week.

@shroomie mkay! do bear in mind that the 280m only has one joystick, so some games (like ape escape) won't be playable. but it's a really nice one!!

(also i'm definitely gonna send you some other psx games to play, bubsy 3d is literal objective shit)

@shroomie oh also "up to psx" counts the gba, but not the n64, ok? i think someone got a port of sm64 working a while ago but idk if it still exists on the internet...

(i've talked a LOT sorry)

@shroomie uhh, you could check for the 280v? it's a little cheaper but it has a plastic shell and is a little smaller, it also doesn't have the joystick...
