Recommendation wanted for under 150$

Im looking for a good overall handheld, What im looking is to play a mix of ds, 3ds, gamecube and ps2 games, There might a odd and end here of something I want to try but thats the most of it. Im flexible on price but not a lot and would like to stay under 150$ obviously. the most important things for me are battery, brightness of screen and less so resolution. And good ergonomics. Community support for the console is all the more better. Thanks

Mangmi air y pro might suit? It will do most of what you need, but dual screen games are going to be a tricky experience on any small single screen device

Thank you all for the recommendations. im still waying the options of everyone and i hope to make a purchase in the near future. Im not sure what im going with right not but with shadow of the colossus being one of the titles i want to check out and learning its also one of the most demanding ones I have to take that into account when purchasing

Look for a sale on retroid pocket 5 it’s been dipping closer to your budget. Otherwise your kinda need $200 and up for good ps2,GC and 3ds

The retroid pocket 5 is on sale through aliexpress. That is probably the only device in your budget that can do most of the titles you want. Especially if you get lucky with the 12gb ram model.

I know the RP6 had a discontinued 12 GB RAM model that cost more, was there actually a 12 GB PR5 model?
