Comment on Maybe hot take: as a handheld, the regular switch is an awful handheld

Smaller the better, not wide like a Switch or Stream Deck.

Under 200 CAD, but flexible for the right device
-
Limited 3D but no more. Like FX chip level

Linux? Hopefully I understood the question
Thanks for taking this time!

OK, I have some ideas.
For all of SNES and some other stuff as a bonus the ambernic rg35xxh seems like it’d be a good fit. Tho it is horizontal. About 80-90 USD I think
The rg35xx is similar but vertical with no sticks
For something that’s like 40 USD ish there’s the powkiddy v90.
Tho for 200 cad that’s like mid range tier. But most powerful ones are landscape.
A good yt channel is retro game corps.
My personal machine is the retroid pocket 4 pro. An android handheld that is very powerful, can emulate up to some switch

Oh the different retroid pockets look really cool. Thanks, you’ve given me a lot to dig in to!

Didn’t think you’d like a retroid cos they run android but they are extremely good.
The 4 pro is good, it runs a lot well, up to 2d switch games.
I heard horror stories about the 3 and flip tho.
Also powkiddy stuff is bad at mid range, only consider them for very cheap,
