I 100% amazing mirror several times on GBA. Loved that device and many games it had. I want a modern pocket emulator GB device but can't justify it since I already have a Steam deck. Or a phone. I guess nostalgia doesn't hold enough monetary value to me to profit off of.

I also have a steam deck, don't like to play without buttons, so phone is a no go and the steam deck screen is too big for such pixelated games, so I got myself a RG35XX for 50€ from AliExpress and am super happy with it. It plays anything up to the PS1.

Same same. I really really want buttons, but I've been playing on touch screen emulators since the... I forget what it was even called, iTouch is a crime, so it was ipod touch? Idk, the first through maybe 3rd gen of those. 2012 hardware. I actually love the bigger screen and some graphic enhancements that the emulators/mods can do. But my steam deck is still a big thing to carry. Unless I know that's the only thing I'm using when I'm out, I feel like I need a backpack to carry it and other stuff. I'll have to dive into the rabbit hole of Chinese pocket emulators, I've only kept up with the us/euro Kickstarter type ones. Something pocket sized with buttons is really all I want. But again, do I need to consume that when I already have multiple options?

iPod Touch is the correct nomenclature, and people often also specify a specific generation (e.g. iPod Touch 4g).

I never had one that could do anything other than wifi and USB. I bought broken ones for <$40 and would put together "fresh" rebuilds with emulators to "donate". Thinking about it I miss the hax0r more than their use. Replaying Pokémon emerald for hours during off time was just a benefit.

Yep, they only did WiFi. The 4g means 4th Gen, not 4g cellular. Confusing, but it was how people called them.
