The original PocketGo by BittBoy is a handheld in a Game-Boy-Advance-style landscape form factor with a 2.4-inch IPS display at 320x240. It runs on an Allwinner F1C100S chip at 533 to 798 MHz with 32 MB of RAM. The community CFW 1.3 firmware (Miyoo CFW) replaces the stock software with GMenu2X as the frontend, adds support for more emulators, a screen tearing fix, theme customisation and better overall performance. The stock firmware works but is rough around the edges, with an inconsistent button mapping across emulators and a less polished menu. It has D-pad, four face buttons, shoulder buttons, and runs off a 1000 mAh battery.
What it plays well: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES, Sega Genesis, Sega Master System. The GBA emulation is the real draw here, something the ODROID-GO cannot do.
-What it does not play well: SNES is playable but not perfect, with occasional slowdowns. PlayStation is not an option.
+What it does not play well: SNES is playable but not perfect, with occasional slowdowns. PlayStation, CPS1/CPS2/CPS3, Jaguar, Sega CD and Sega 32X are not possible.
Game packs: Full game packs for all supported systems are on the SD card.
Why use it: It is still pocketable, the IPS screen looks great, and it fills the gap between the ODROID-GO and the RG35XX. If you want Game Boy Advance on the go without carrying something bigger, this is the one. The CFW 1.3 firmware makes a real difference over the stock software.

The RG35XX by Anbernic is the serious handheld of the three. It has a 3.5-inch IPS display at 640x480, an Allwinner H313 quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 chip, and significantly more power than the other two. It runs GarlicOS, a custom firmware by Black Seraph built on RetroArch. GarlicOS replaces the stock firmware with a much cleaner interface, adds a sleep mode that lets you resume exactly where you left off, RTC support, overclocking options, and a wider range of configurable emulators. The stock firmware works but is bare-bones and lacks these quality-of-life features. The build quality is noticeably better than the other two devices, with a sturdier feel and a screen that is both larger and sharper.
-What it plays well: Everything the ODROID-GO and PocketGo do, plus PlayStation 1, CPS1/CPS2 arcade, Neo Geo, and more demanding SNES titles. It also supports HDMI output to a TV.
+What it plays well: Everything the ODROID-GO and PocketGo do, plus SNES running perfectly, PlayStation 1, CPS1/CPS2/CPS3 arcade, Jaguar, Sega CD, Sega 32X, and Neo Geo. It also supports HDMI output to a TV.
What it does not play well: Nintendo 64 and PSP are hit-or-miss. Dreamcast is mostly too much for it.
Game packs: Only the major platforms have game packs installed. The smaller systems are not pre-loaded.
Why use it: When you want the full experience, including PlayStation and arcade games, or when you want to hook the handheld up to a TV. It is the heaviest and least pocketable of the three, but it covers the widest range of systems.
