  • Is there any option of hooking up switch portable to a tv/proper controllers. I'd like something that size but with the option of proper play but so far as I can see that's not an option.

    What's it like for homebrew, emulators, etc, can you do that and play normal games too?

    Anyone and ideas what's the current cheapish handheld option for playing emulators and the like. There's also a variety of weird and wonderful stuff running linux or outdated versions of Android but I've no idea what's decent.

  • For handheld emulators I primarily use a PSP. Also got one of these but that's generally more used for development, though it comes with retroArch preinstalled.

  • If you have an Android tablet or iPad, iPega do some excellent (and cheap) bluetooth controllers that can extend to grip the tablet as if you were playing a Switch. Plenty of good emulators for Android and also several options for connecting the tablet to a modern TV (and taking it out of the controller's physical grip, obv).

    Currently using an iPega PG-9023S to (among other things) play GTA San Andreas on my tablet. Controller was £20 and works really well.

    You can also use PS3/4 or XBox controllers with Android, although you then lose the Switch-alike handheld goodness.
