Best old handheld console

1 2024-05-24 00:52

I want to make a RPG game from scratch, I have a simple game engine using SDL. What old console had the best form factor in your opinion?
I'm thinking of making it a GBA game with resolution and colors limited to that console. I might make a small GBA like handheld to run this game as well.
Do you guys have any suggestions for old consoles to recreate?

I bought an NDS Lite specifically to run my own homebrew games. The games that I made are suitable to run on the GBA.

As far as creating GBA clone hardware, that's far outside my scope of expertise. As far as writing software, that guide looks like it does the job. As a note of clarification from >>2, the games I made are designed for NDS and not the GBA, but it would be easy enough to port it to the GBA.
