Best handheld for GameBoy catalog? (self.retrogaming)

Hey y'all. First post on Lemmy!

I want to go back and play my favorite GameBoy games, and want to find the best way to do this on a handheld device. I have lots of cartridges, but ROM support would be nice! I've looked at Steamdeck but I'm not sold on it yet... the Analogue Pocket looks lush but expensive. The Miyoo Mini Plus looks promising, and the RG353V almost looks too good to be true. I specifically want to play GameBoy and GameBoy Color games, bonus points if it can do GameBoy Advance.

What say y'all?

The Switch and Steamdeck are too big for me. Maybe the Switch Lite would be an ok size? I'm not crazy about the horizontal layout with the controls on the sides of the screen, much prefer the GameBoy / GBA SP vertical design with the controls below the screen.
