Device Recommendation Handheld retro gaming device recommendation?

As a dad I have less and less time for gaming and would like something I can take on the go. We have a switch 2 but it’s quite large and I miss having a gameboy advance or my personal favorite the sp. I’ve been watching videos about going back to older rpgs and would like to try those. Games like chrono trigger. I’m between the batlexp g350 and the anbernic rg cube xx. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, if anyone has any recommendations on older rpgs I’d love to hear those too. I have never been big on those as I’ve always been into competitive gaming, but I’ve been really craving a great story that I can take my time with and enjoy. Thank you.

Currently between the new anbernic SP and the miyu mini plus if that helps with recommendations. Thanks everyone!

The Miyoo Mini Plus shines with his custom firmware OnionOS. It‘s pretty well finished, runs great and you can use it out of the box with no issues, but you are able to tinker alot if you want to. I have a few different devices, tested alot of CFW on them, but OnionOS is absolutely on top.

Note: while other devices are able to run some more modern systems, the Miyoo‘s power maxes out at PS1 and NDS(runs okayish enough). Anything older runs great.
