In addition to my Steam Deck I decided recently to try out a retro handheld, since I've never really had any of those. After some research i got this little time machine.
Surprisiingly, even in 2023 Anbernic RG280V is still the most balanced all-round good retro console with a great screen, decent battery life, unmatched built quality, comfortable controls and a perfect pocketable size! 8bit, 16bit, PS1 - this beast can handle it all!

It's a perfect tiny machine for shorter (5-30 minutes) gaming sessions; but at times I played for a few hours without breaks - and it was perfectly fine! Being mainly a PC and a Steam Deck player I'm surprised with myself, how much I love this little device.

In addition to ADAM image, you'll also need "retro rom set" and "retro bios" for all the emulated consoles in case you don't have your own retro game library; google might help you with those ones.
