    Howdy,

    Looking for a recommendation for a Handheld that I can take while traveling that will allow me to play Arcade/Snes/MD games from my collection. Zero interest in using my phone/ipad/laptop :D

    Thanks,
    LoGiE

    I have an gen 1 psp, do they still make pandora batteries? Need something in the next two weeks...

    My original psp battery is dead.

    Anything off the shelf I can get other then PSP/Vita?

    *Edit* Willing to put the time in if I can get a new PSP battery in the next 2 weeks :)

    JXD handhelds are supposed to be ok as well.
    But quick fix would be PSP or VITA as mentioned.

    Thanks Folks, I've resurrected the original battery but ordered a new battery anyway. Will probably create a Pandora just in case I do something silly. New 32gb Memory Duo card is on the way from Amazon too.

    Firmware is currently 3.80 so have a bit of reading to do!

    Don't think the Pandora hack is needed anymore, any PSP can be modded at this stage.

    GPD XD is a great handheld as well, powerful enough for N64 and PS1 emulation.

    Going anywhere nice ? :)

    Pandora is obsolete now, as is using Memory Duo's I'm afraid. There are Memory Duo to SD adapters you can get, which are enormously cheaper. Enjoy the process, it's good fun :)
