Find the handheld that runs your games.

Pick the system you want to emulate. You only see the handhelds that can run it, with sourced and dated verdicts.

What is emulation?

These handhelds run games from older consoles (NES, PS1, PS2, Switch…) thanks to emulators: software that reproduces how those consoles work. Emulation is legal, but the games must come from your own cartridges or discs, with your own saves. This site measures what each handheld can run; it does not tell you where to find games.
