I wanna get a low end emulator for my younger sis. All I nwwd is up to GBA, enough for some pokemon and Mario games, maybe Kirby too.

I'm fine with pre loaded ROMs and those shitty "(insert number) in one" type devices

Budget is as cheap as possible.

What can I get?

I probably can't help with the hardware part but want to clarify just in case:

are you looking for an officially licensed one or just anything? I'm guessing the latter based on the "cheap" requirement?
are you looking for a gift or just a way for her to play those games?
if it's the latter, does she have a smartphone? any budget phone will easily handle this kind of emulation so she could just use that

Literally any device. Mainly as a gift, she has a phone but that phone is very restricted. I wanna get her a device that will be less restricted
