Hi folks, Im trying to find an emulating device that can play NES, SNES, and GBA roms. I know there's a lot of different custom handheld emulating devices (like the nvidia shield thing, the pandora device and whatnot) and I know alot of people recommend the PSP, but is there anything that physically resembles the Gameboy Advance SP? I personally love the way that thing looks and feels from the way the buttons feel to the small flip phone design to the screen's small and cozy 4:3 ratio (I hate having those black bars around the screen when using a DS or PSP for this sort of thing).

The only reason I don't just get a ROM flashcard for the GBA-SP is because it doesn't have enough buttons to support SNES games.

I know I'm being picky, but is there any handheld emulating device that more or less resembles the GBA-SP in these ways? Just wanted to check before putting money down on a PSP Go or something. Any and all help is appreciated!

You could pick from the millions of retro kickstarters like this (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sumbodesign/mini-emu-all-in-one-retro-game-console-raspberry-p).


But really you could use a raspberry pie and look for a custom case.
