Retroid Pocket 2

SinisterSoft

I saw that a new device has come out that should be good for testing joypad based games written in Gideros. It's called the Retroid Pocket 2. It runs Android and has OpenGL ES 2.0 - so Gideros games should work on it. It's $80, but this coupon should discount it by about $5 I think: YEJJD

sounds awfully low on specs.
probably one of those joysticks on which one can attach the phone would be better, as most people have strong phones anyway (at least stronger than this pocket 2 stuff). do you have any recommendation of cheap such bluetooth android compatible phone attachable joysticks? (on the page you linked there are some)

SinisterSoft

Low on specs (ish), it has a 640x480 screen so that should help with rendering speed. The emulators seem to run fine on it from the videos. I've ordered one and will report back what it's like.

As far as Bluetooth joypads go, anything from 8bitdo are great: https://www.8bitdo.com/sn30-pro-for-xbox-cloud-gaming-on-android/

now after a bit of research gamesir t1s looks fine also.

SinisterSoft

Yes, but a similar price to the 8bitdo. The 8bitdo are the best.

keszegh

it seemed half-price for me, but 8bitdo lookS great, i agree.

SinisterSoft

They are both about £45 here.
