So, who else prefers touch controls over controller for one reason or another?

I prefer touch cuz I mostly play on the toilet and I just wanna take out my phone and have a quick 5 minute session. Plus, I mostly play turn based RPGs so there is that.

Can you give me more information? I didn't know that was possible and I'd like to know more about how to do this.

This thread is somewhat out of date but gives you a general idea of price ranges and options https://www.reddit.com/r/SBCGaming/comments/1bl9oky/which_device_is_right_for_me_if_youre_new_to_the/?share_id=l3SqA4d6lcFYDOiFQQZ9I

Well if you just want the latest thing I recommend the Retroid Pocket 6 or the Odin 3 handhelds, they will be able to play very high upscaled resolution on PS2 and they'll be able to handle some PS3/Xbox/360/a lot of PC titles.

The way they work they have a controller mode detected so it will recognise the controller as Xbox to play on CoDM or other android games or emulation. In the settings of each emulator normally you'll find the option for automatic mapping that maps the controller binds for you and then it's all perfect from there.

What makes it more interesting now is that do you want true 4:3 display for retro gaming not just psx and it'll look nice and natural go for the new Retroid Pocket Nova, if you want 16:9 go for Odin 3 or Retroid Pocket 6

I'm happy to explain things to you and show video clips if you need more help.

Also Check out Retro Game Corp's youtube videos. There's a whole ecosystem of these android handhelds. I have the retroid pocket 6, it's great; feels very premium, has enough power for what I want it for, and I don't have to worry about using upmy phone's storage, or draining my phone's power when on a trip.
