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?

Are you talking about something you hook up to the TV? A raspberry pi is a great option but you need to provide your own games. It's just going to be the most flexible for playing whatever game you want. There are a couple distros for it that are easy to use once setup (retropi, recalbox). An RPi 3 or newer will do anything lighter than N64.

Ah alright. Yeah those are going to get pricier.

[-] sleepybisexual@beehaw.org 1 points 9 months ago

Yea. Console style might be worth looking into but a handheld would be better. I don't need anythinb good, I need GBA and under
