I just bought an emulator with 2 wireless controllers and 45000 games from various consoles between 1978 and 2008. Loving the megadrive section - Splatterhouse, Strider, NHL Ice Hockey 94, Micro Machines, ECCO, to name a few. Well worth 50 quid.
It was almost an arcade machine inside. Try Chakan, James Pond, all the Sonics, Kid Chameleon, Road Rash, Desert Strike, and Sparkster (way better than the SNes version), Aladdin (same, better than the SNes), and Toe Jam and Earl 2, to name a few.
There's a chakan hack that makes it maybe the best version to play the game.
The original is just frustratingly difficult to finish.
Pretty good for the price! My main gaming machine is a $60 Anberbic handheld. I had to install a better OS and the tiny best set myself, and it struggles running Dreamcast and PSP games, but it actually feels good to play.
What OS are you using? I was trying to use my Anbernic with wireless controllers, but the default OS keeps forgetting the mapping on the controllers every time I switch to a different game and it was impractical to have to keep remapping them over and over.
My RG35XX Plus is running Knulli. It's not quite as great as GarlicOS on my old RG35XX, but it does what I need it to. I haven't tried Bluetooth controllers with those, though.
This sounds great, what did you go for?

This bad boy (UK) I've got my money's worth just scrolling (for the past 4 hours!)
I also would like the answer to this question.
