Under €150: how far emulation goes on this budget

Start with the size and shape of the screen

On this budget, it all comes down to the form factor: a 2.8 to 4-inch panel, 4:3 aspect ratio for 8-bit and 16-bit consoles, 16:9 for more recent games, and a horizontal, vertical or clamshell body. That's what you'll be holding every day.

The ceiling is around the PS1 and N64

8-bit and 16-bit systems as well as the Game Boy Advance run smoothly across the whole selection. The PlayStation 1 and Nintendo 64 also work, with variations depending on the game and the emulator used. Beyond that, you need to move up a range: firmware can't make up for a lack of power.

What it doesn't do

  • No games or ROMs included: the devices come with no game content.
  • PS2 and GameCube excluded: these systems require a bigger budget.
  • TV output not always available: not every model has it, check the product page.

Our budget comparison details the models in this price range and their real limitations.

Questions fréquentes

Which systems run well under €150?
8-bit and 16-bit consoles as well as the Game Boy Advance run smoothly across the whole selection. The PlayStation 1 and Nintendo 64 also work, with variations depending on the game and the emulator used.
Which screen format should you choose?
4:3 shows off 8-bit and 16-bit consoles without black bars on the sides, while 16:9 is better suited to more recent systems and video. The diagonal, from 2.8 to 4 inches, determines how much room it takes up in a pocket.
Should you plan for an extra microSD card?
It's recommended. A card from a well-known brand reduces read errors and lost saves, and it lets you try another firmware without touching the original card.
