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?

Yeah I bought an R4 card for the 3DS I already owned, for this purpose. Works like a charm, and as an added bonus I can also play NDS games on it. Didn't even have to homebrew the 3ds (although with the online services shutting down I guess there's not much stopping you from doing so anymore).
