No worries! If you have any questions on the smart pro just let me know, it’s the only one of those devices that I have

If you look for stores with good reviews and good sales numbers you’re 90% sure you’ll get what you paid for. There are some other sellers for these types of devices like LITNXT, and you can even find them on Amazon (usually more expensive).
If you want anything like PS2 or gamecube prepare to pay $150+ for a device, and most likely it will be an android based device like the retroid pocket devices
Most of these ambernic/Miyoo/powkiddy/Trimui Linux devices are aimed to play up to PSP, and some PSP games will run poorly, they’re using older cheaper chips, so they’re honestly weak devices.
IMO, best case is buying one of these devices for psp and below, and a steam deck or other handheld PC for PSP onwards… And PC gaming obviously.
I have an ROG Ally, and PS2, gamecube and WiiU runs great, but it feels like overkill for GBA and PS1 for example, so, for older emulation I just use this $60 device

I recently got a Trimui Smart Pro, if you’re looking for horizontal devices, it’s also worth a look

Confort and battery life.
I love my ROG Ally, it’s amazing for a bunch of games, but I honestly don’t find it comfortable to play GBA or PS1 games for example, and the battery life is like 4 hours tops.
I recently got a Trimui Smart Pro and been playing GBA games on and off in between work meetings or when I go out. It fits on my pocket alongside my phone and the battery lasts like 6 hours depending on the system.
Different uses cases, and for $50 it’s honestly not a hard sell

The question is not only what game is it, but also, is it any good?

Hadn’t thought of it that way, but you’re completely right, same as Black Flag tbh

I honestly enjoyed the setting of Origins and the “new take” on combat, since it was before anything they could basically do whatever they wanted so it kinda worked , but that’s the only one I enjoyed after revelations
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows | Review Thread 4 weeks ago:
Man, I dunno, but anything after AC Origins hast felt so bad and soulless… I’m probably not buying this, specially since anything after AC3 just stopped the “modern day” storyline and now is just incoherent plot lines that really amount to nothing… Dunno, not a fan of it

I don’t think that “game-wise” people had issues with it, the formula clearly works, but the performance is fucking atrocious for how it looks like…

Have you played Chasm? It’s a metroidvania, nothing outside of the ordinary, but map is randomly generated, so you’re guaranteed to get lost lol
