This is the hard truth nobody wants to accept: a $40 smartphone (or an old phone that would otherwise go in the garbage and thus costs you nothing) works better than 99% of the stuff you already own, and 99% of the stuff could even theoretically going to buy at double the price, ten times the price, and so on. It's even harder to accept that Android emulation is so often better than the real thing. And BTW: you can now get the Neo Geo library games _LEGALLY_ from the app store —and that really is better than the real thing, _and_ dedicated retro emulation machines.

I use the Robert Broglia emulators on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra). They run smoothly, fairly simple to navigate, and he updates pretty frequently.

The main limitation is two player simultaneous play, with or without link cables; however, "real hardware" often does a really bad job of that, too. Legal-and-official link cable emulation on the 3DS/2DS is remarkably bad, for example.

Made my old Xiaomi Mi 6 into an emulation device last week and it's pretty neat.
My only problem right now is where can I find a battery replacement.

People just love the idea of a mini retro console: there's something very appealing to the consumer spirt about the Sega Genesis Mini, Neo Geo Mini, etc. etc., even if they're demonstrably worse than a cellphone in every way —and, frankly, this pattern extends to retro handheld emulation, too (people will pay for a retro mini Game Boy just the same).
