Hi all,

For a while I've been using my PSP (2000 model) for my mobile emulation purposes, but recently I've been looking into other options.

I've been looking into various Open Source devices (Dingoo A320, Caanoo, Wiz) and I'm not sure what is best for me to be honest!

I want something I can play SNES (Super FX if poss),Mega Drive (plus CD & 32X if poss), NES, Game Boy, MAME and CPS1/2.

What would you guys recommend? Is there anything that runs Super FX games as perfect as possible? Am I best to stick with my PSP?

Thanks!

Super FX emulation isn't great on all of them. They are perfectly playable on a Android device such as the Xperia Play, using Snes9x EX. In terms of open source, the Pandora plays SNES games pretty much perfect as well, even CPS3 games, if you like them.

Keep an eye on the upcoming Yinlips YDPG16.
Also the Caanoo is a nice product.

Ah, I totally forgot about Android devices - I have a HTC Desire HD and have dabbled with emulation on it, but methinks I shall finally get around to rigging a Dual Shock 3 to it, and seeing how it goes.

Although to be honest, I'd rather have a dedicated all-in-one handheld :)
