Powkiddy RGB30

The RGB30 is the community's favorite for its unique 1:1 square 720x720 display, which renders pixel art games at perfect integer scales without stretching or black bars. Running JELOS or Batocera, it's a dream for SNES, Game Boy, and GBA purists who want pixel-perfect accuracy. The RK3566 chip is well-supported by community firmware and handles everything up to Dreamcast with aplomb.
