I’ve been REALLY wanting to play LoZ: Wind Waker again and I keep seeing mixed things about hardware capabilities. Can anyone recommend a handheld under $200 that can smoothly handle Game Cube games? I know there are more expensive ones but I really can’t afford them. I mean. I can’t afford a $200 one, but I might be able to rationalize it to myself.

Edit: I was going to go ahead and pick up the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro after so many recommendations for it. Then I saw the Retroid Pocket 5. Well, let’s just say my poor decision making skills will make not having money future me’s problem, but she’ll also have a Retroid Pocket 5 to comfort her lol. Thanks for the input friends!

    If you have specific games in mind you can check out this site emuready.com. That let’s you filter by device or cpu to see how well games play, sorta like ProtonDB for Linux emulation.

    I think the biggest issue is, are you looking sub $200 before shipping+tax or after. For example I think the Retroid Pocket 5 is supposed to handle gamcube pretty well, but thats $200 just for the device.
