One that combines portability with ease of use/installation and ease of controls?




a laptop? a PSP? a Tablet PC?


What's the best thing to play emulated stuff on?

That depends on what kind of emulator you are looking after (NES, SNES, N64, PSX, etc...)

I would go with a laptop. I have an old school 800 mhz with tv out. I can connect it to my home system, or bring it to a friends. I can connect it to my custom fit in docking station I built in my car. Add usb drives, wireless network all the good stuff laptops do. If you have the money it will work the best.

I would say either a normal PC or a laptop, since most emulators are designed for standard Windows XP. Most emus for Pocket PCs are ports of their Windows counterparts.

I was thinking something PC-based too.



Now, on portability-


Are there any relatively small but powerful "version" of laptops that could run the most popular emulators?

Something smaller than a laptop but bigger than a PSP?

I know M$ was working on something called "Origami" which was basically a handheld functional PC...

Does any concept of that exist now?

the console itself! but on a genuine note, you can get emulators for even mobile phones, particularly the nokia series 60 range for a feasible portable solution, as you're always going to have your mbile on you, although several emulators are shareware. Windows mobile phones also work.
