I mean I can do that all off my phone without buying a cheap handheld (I've actually considered the R36S itself and find no indication it'll even run PS2 properly, let alone the PSP well enough) or some pretend laptop with a gAmiNg Linux distro. Finding a side mounted controller with a headphone jack in my local area is the hard part.

Tell me more about the R36S, actually, please. Alternatively I'm considering a Gamesir Tegenaria controller, I can already tell it'll be very nice in my hands, although its software is Windows-only and I'm not going to install Steam or create an account for it to manage a controller.

I installed Retroarch directly from the Android Playstore on my phone today. Using an 8bitdo controller (they're really cheap and good quality). Pretty good results so far!

RetroArch's touch controllers are horrible, the interface as well, and the devs are bad enough to make emulator devs quit. I only have it on the Vita and PS3 where it kind of makes sense.

Unfortunately I don't know of a good, easy, free replacement. Lemuroid is the closest but I'm not a fan of how it needs to scan ROMs first, but this is what I use now. The .emu series almost cost me my Phantasy Star I run twice. Thankfully it's better for other consoles, DuckStation, PPSSPP, and Vita3K (I still prefer the Vita itself though). Undecided between this build of NetherSX2 or the totally not LLM assisted ARMSX2.
