The new 3DS is pretty shit for it.
You have to massively go out of your way downgrading firmware and potentially bricking your device so the emulators can run with the full power of the system.
Otherwise they run like crap.

The Nvidia SHIELD handheld and tablet are pretty great. I've used both, emulated games for PSX and below without any issues.
They fixed the whole "exploding battery" thing right? I remember there being a big recall last year.

Depends on what platforms you want to emulate. PSP Go does the trick for me.
I've been using my phones for the past couple years. They run almost everything and the controllers cost like 20 bucks.
Can that thing do dolphin?

It's the New Nintendo 3DS.
Not even a question here. Native hardware GBA playback, and retroarch covers everything from the Atari and NES up to the SNES full speed, including neogeo and arcade.
Oh and as a bonus, it's a 3DS.

GPD XD's really good from what I've heard and covers most everything, not to mention that it's pretty affordable. Especially if you don't bother with the higher internal storage models and just pick up an SD card to supplement one of the lower-end ones. I've read that some of the earlier ones had build quality issues, so try to get a newer one if possible. I've got a Pandora and I'm extremely happy with it, but it's a more expensive option that you would only really appreciate if you were into open handhelds and like the idea of running a lot of old PC machines. As far as I know it doesn't really do any retro emulation better than the XD, so I can't say that I would recommend it in this case.
Just wondering, but what systems are you planning on emulating?
Specify N3DS, because on previous models emulation is garbage.+1 for the 3DS, especially an XL, as you get a gorgeous natural scanline effect. Added bonus for Genesis/Mega Drive games, the vertical resolution is identical to that of the 3DS. It fits perfectly.

Heh, yeah. Sorry, should've specified that, but I rarely even think about the o3DS when it comes to this. Poor o3DS owners.

My mate got an OG 3DS for cheap recently, and I installed CFW on it. While it does indeed suck ass for anything SNES level, it does a good job for NES and Game Boy games. And it of course plays GBA games flawlessly, but that's due to the fact that GBA games on the 3DS aren't emulated at all.
