The Anbernic RG35XX lineup are all good devices that are fairly budget friendly ($40-80 depending on sales and where you buy from). They all share very similar specs, just different layouts and controls. I'm partial to the RG35XX SP's clam shell form-factor, but other people like the RG35XX Plus that's akin to a gameboy color layout (but smaller) or the RG35XX H that's similar to a nintendo switch lite layout, including joysticks (but smaller). They can handle PS1 and older without any issues, plus some Dreamcast and N64 games.
On the higher end ($300-400), the Ayn Odin 2 is really the device to beat, although it's bigger, somewhere in between a Switch and a Steam Deck. It can handle some PS2, PSP, and even nintendo switch games - see https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XaPYEyTinKk7F2uTfgSDpgEelhUYPFBWo7knX_3aQgw/edit?gid=836973255#gid=836973255 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XaPYEyTinKk7F2uTfgSD... for a community-sourced list of compatible games.
Retroid also has some nice higher end devices around $200-300. I have a Retroid Pocket 3+ that I really like, and while it's not compatible with Rocknix, some of their newer devices are.
