What to Check Before Buying a Retro Console
- Design: horizontal, like a controller, or vertical, Game Boy style. In general, the horizontal design is more comfortable for games that use joysticks.
- Consoles it emulates: 8-bit and 16-bit consoles and the PlayStation 1 run well on almost all of them. However, on Nintendo 64, PSP, or Nintendo DS, performance depends on the processor.
- Storage: if you only plan to play the included titles, 64 GB is enough; if you want to add games, 128 GB is a better choice.
- Battery: a replaceable battery extends the life of the console.
- TV output: not all of them have it. For example, the R36H is designed to be played on its own screen.
