I went down a YouTube rabbit hole - my theory is these devices are primarily attractive to the higher end emulator gamers - NeoGeo, GameCube, PS2, some PS3 and that generation as well.
This is why the screen size is OK because they're usually upscaling anyways.
I watched some benchmark of modern generation or even previous generation games and they are mostly dogshit, the GPU is anemic for modern workloads but fine for emulators it seems.
This is just my best guess, especially given the price of the hardware, it just doesn't make sense for normal portable gaming, but definite hits a niche for retro emu.
- ekianjo 6y agoNeo Geo emulation has not been considered high end for a long time now. PS3 is where the hardware hits the limits currently.
- codezero 6y agoYeah, I hope I was clear that I'm only a YouTube-level expert :) Good to know - I thought NeoGeo had some low latency input concerns that were harder to get close to in slower emulators, but like I said - not an expert!
