Which is the best hand held to put Mame games on?
This might perhaps be a silly question but I do recall reading about certain handhelds that were very good at getting mame and home brew stuff on them. Any help appreciated.

Psp is amazing for emulators and stuff. It's mame stuff ain't so hot, but a few games work great. It's got esprade.
Home consoles rule on the psp. It's amazing.
A friend of mine had a dingu, it looked pretty cool

A bit of Google research seems to piont towards either the GP2X or the PSP. Since the PSP has a few shooters coming out now (Darius Burst for example) tha ability to play new games as well as old is quite appealing. Anyone care to comment on their experience with the GP2X?
Re: Which is the best hand held to put Mame games on?
owned a GP2X for a while. Was happy with the screen, size, and most emulators. I believe there's a port of FBA as well. However, the digital stick had a bias to diagonals, and has way too big of a deadzone and throw.
sadly, I honestly don't think there's a handheld out there worthy of any decent arcade games. Either the controls are shit, or the screen has a lot of ghosting and tearing. Not to mention that hardly any of the emulators will come anywhere near the accuracy of their pc counterparts.
wiz has poor tearing, dingoo is underpowered, caanoo has analog controls, the pandora is like the wonky mamecab of handhelds sporting a screen with poor ghosting.

The Dingoo Digital A-320 handheld only comes with 32 megabits of memory which sufficient enough to run most Neo-Geo MVS titles. If you upgrade the internal memory to 64 megabits of RAM on a Dingoo, then it'd be able to run arcade emulation much better. There is FBA for the Dingoo but it requires that you install Dingux custom firmware running Linux to do so. So it's doable to play Donpachi & DDP on a Dingoo using an external mini SD memory card setup with FBA emulation.
Of course, the PSP is king of playing homebrew & arcade emulation...just playing Progear No Arashi on a 1st-gen PSP-1001 (USA region) using NJ's famous CPS2PSP emulator is a blast. Or if you can pick up a PSP-2000 series handheld, it too, can play homebrew & arcade emulation utilizing a Pandora battery trick. The original PSP-1000 & it's PSP-1001 counterpart can play unsigned code that SCEI tried to squash with official FW updates but CFW kept breaking them to allow the ability to run/play such cool programs.
