PSP version of Ys ark of Napishtim. Have so many systems/games to play I tend to jump between games a lot but this one stuck with me, I loved it. Don’t know how many hours I spent in Canaan, but I had a great time getting to the end. Starting Ys seven now

    How’s the dpad and sticks on that thing, and how does it handle arcade and Saturn emulation? Those are kinds of games I’d really like to have in a handheld with this thing.

      All the controls are great, nice clicky dpad and the sticks feel good with good range of motion and L3/R3 clicks work well. Saturn works well in the paid yaba sanshiro 2 emulator with some graphics glitches (Saturn emu is hard…) and I am playing baku baku and panzer dragoon. Haven’t tried arcade games but I imagine they would be good… I am able to run some ps2 games at 2x resolution 30fps - 3d games like FFX… this thing has guts. I’m able to carry all the retro games I ever wanted in my pocket.

    I haven’t played any Ys games but I’ll get around to starting them one day. I still play on my PSVITA so I can get them quite easily.

      I played the first Y’s game on my Sega Master system back in 1989 or so and I have a lot of nostalgia for it… It’s cool to see how the games progressed as action RPG games (1 and 2 have been remade and released on mobile too) and it’s cool to follow the same characters. Just starting Y’s seven I can see they have made a lot of changes to the systems and I can’t wait to get into it more.

    Ys Seven is a great game, never got through a lot of it but I remember loving it. Love the PSP dearly, wish I had one.

    Is the Retroid any good? Every emulation handheld I’ve managed to get has been trash so far.

      My recommendation is a homebrewable Switch. It runs pretty much anything you’d want in terms of emulation up to but not including the Wii U and PS3. Usually you can find them second-hand pretty cheap.

        I’ve got a real early switch I’ve been wanting to mod for a while, I’m just worried about ending up with a cheap shim that screws the connections on my rails.
