While the Dingoo A320 could play games from NES, SNES, GBA, and Sega Genesis.

/facepalm...

That link I showed plays ALL of those.

AceHigh:
Yep, Tamarin's link looks legit and affordable.

So can the PSP if you mod it...

Another great option would be an Android handheld.

I think this one looks pretty cool http://www.amazon.com/Zuweiyu-Android-Console-Screen-Support/dp/B006WX06EE/ref=pd_sim_sbs_p_1/192-0679074-4572748

It has Android 2.3 which should give you alot of flexibility. You won't be locked into the emulator provided by the manufacturer and will be able to experiment with various emulators to find the one that gives you the best performance. It only has three stars but the only review they have is from a disgruntled customer who seems to have received a bad unit. There are already guides to root and overclock it online. Something along these lines should even let you play N64 and PSX games.

Plus, you can play GTA III on it running http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqrkxQ0AjZo

There are other Android portables like this that may be even better. I'd look around.

Or just treat yourself to a new phone. I have an HTC Desire, which is an Android phone I got around 1.5 years ago, and that can play GBA, GBC, NES, and SNES games with ease. Probably more which I haven't tried.

Any vaguely recent Android phone should have the power to emulate any of those classic consoles, and I *think* there are even N64 and PS1 emulators available, although I don't know what (if any) devices have the power to run those well.

Phones are really only good for light gaming. For serious emulation a dedicated device is the most efficient approach. Its not that modern Android phones lack the power to emulate well but rather virtual controls pale in comparison to hard buttons. RPGs and games with relatively few and simple controls may work well enough but complex games and games that require precision will be awkward to play.

The only real advantage to using your phone is you don't have to carry a second device around.
