Anyone used one of these before? I've heard really good things. Mostly looking to emulate PS1, dreamcast, n64, and PS2 and from what I've read the retroid 4 does a solid job with all of them.

My main question is: how easy is it to get up and going with emulation on a dedicated handheld? I've done some really light emulation in the past, but only on pc and that was years ago.

Russ from Retro Game Corps has been an absolute gem for this community. I totally second looking up his stuff. He probably has a very detailed setup guide for whatever handheld you get
