What about a second hand Steam Deck?
Too big and cumbersome for me. The OG Switch is too big for me, so that's a monster. And yes, that does mean the Switch 2 also isn't for me purely on form factor (I rarely play on TV, so that's not an option).
I feel like we've had this conversation before. 😂
Subtle as a brick, nice. 
RP5 is only just over $200, which is… acceptable? Definitely better than the $450 they're asking for the Odin 2 Pro. Hmmmmmmm.
The only question is… GameCube or SNES?

That's an R36S running Emulation Station through ArkOS. The R36S is a hugely underrated machine… and you can get one for about £25 on Ali Express.
… you have my attention. My current handheld emulation device (something Anbernic) is Android, a bit clunky/crap and has terrible battery life. Definitely want something smaller from, but still good… the dream would be to match my arcade cab for heft, going up to PS2 and arcade games from no later than the millennium, but that's Odin levels of money I don't have. So… hmmm.
It's slightly more powerful than the Miyoo Mini Plus and the RG35XX (it can run PS1 easily, and can even manage some PSP and Dreamcast stuff)
Only 'some'? Why the distinction?
It can also run the mind-boggling Portmaster, through which I have a flawless version of Super Mario 64 running on mine at 60fps.
I dunno what Portmaster is. Sounds fun though.
Amazon.de has both the R36S and the R40S… one better than the other? I'd look for specs, but they mean nothing to me. I just to need to know 'it runs everything up to THIS' and that's it. The R40S reviews seem to say it stutters at N64/PSP levels, which isn't really great… I'm stuck here, aren't I?
Fuck sake… I know what the front end is. A smart person would have looked at the loading screen on his device, wouldn't he?
