Emulation Compatibility Matrix

Which retro handheld actually runs which console, in one table.

Individual reviews are everywhere, but almost nobody owns more than two of these devices, so the same system is never compared across all of them in one place. This table does that. Every rating comes from published hands-on testing and links to the person who did it.

Combinations nobody has tested are marked no data. They are not estimated from the spec sheet, because a guess dressed as a measurement is worse than an admitted gap.

That is why the gaps sit where they do. Expensive hardware shows blanks on 8-bit systems, not because a $299 handheld cannot run the NES, but because no reviewer bothers writing that down. Reading a blank as a failure is the one way to misuse this table.
