The best portable player?

[journeyfanatic]

So I have long breaks at my job throughout the day and I need something that can run plenty of emulators. My PSP is just to large for me to carry around. does anybody know a nice, small player that I can get? Don't really care about a large screen or anything, just looking for something small that can run emus for nes, snes, gen, gb, gba and maybe a few more. Thanks!

Hmm... Have they gotten custom firmware going on the PSP Go yet?

I'm looking for an inexpensive used Windows Mobile PDA, preferably a Dell Axim x51v, mostly because of the 640x480 screen with video out, 3D acceleration, and that it's fast enough to emulate Playstation games. The only problem is, stock PDA controls suck for games, so you'd have to either get one of those relatively expensive Bluetooth gamepads, or go the modder's route and make your own controls. (Make sure whatever PDA you get can take SDHC cards; you don't want to be stuck with the 2 gig capacity limit.

There's always the really small UMID/laptop things (you can find a lot of info on them on http://www.pocketables.net" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ), but they can be relatively expensive. On the flip side, there are a lot of them out there that run x86 CPUs (new ones even running Atoms on the GMA500 chipsets), so you've basically got a full-blown Windows PC (and the software selection that goes with it) in a pocket-size form factor. The UMID mBook M1 looks promising.

Dingoo?

The Dingoo A320 is something you should definitely consider

Thanks for the input guys, I looked at the dingoo but from what I could tell it has issues with the snes emu, and that is what I spend most of my time on. Do you guys know of anything small that handles snes emulation well? or is it the program itself that needs updating? Will def. get a psp go once it can be modded with cfw.

Just put linux on the dingoo it's fine. It's pretty easy and theres enough support and such where it's not difficult at all to load it and put stuff on there. It's prolly the best and cheapest you can get, other than modding the psp you have.

I hear the Smart T5 has better snes emulation but the button mapout is horrid (3 front buttons, can't recall if it has shoulder buttons or not).
