MGSP (Multi Game System) Handheld Review: Specs, Performance, and Buying Guide

Overview

The MGSP (Multi Game System) is a handheld gaming device designed for retro enthusiasts. It runs on an open-source operating system and is powered by a Broadcom BCM2837 processor with a quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU clocked at 1.2 GHz. The Broadcom VideoCore IV GPU handles graphics at 300 MHz. With 1 GB DDR2 RAM and a MicroSD card for storage, it targets gamers looking for a portable emulation machine.

Key Specs Highlights

  • Display: 3.2-inch TFT, 320x240 resolution, 4:3 aspect ratio, 60Hz refresh rate, 125 PPI
  • Performance: SNES FX and 3D PS1 at 60 FPS; N64 and NDS playable but not smooth
  • Connectivity: WiFi, Bluetooth, USB, HDMI output, 3.5mm headphone jack
  • Battery: 2400 mAh
  • Dimensions: 179 x 80 x 32 mm, 300 grams
  • Build: Plastic shell, gray custom color

Who It Is For

The MGSP is ideal for retro gaming fans who want an affordable, open-source handheld to play classic titles from SNES, PS1, and earlier consoles. It suits tinkerers comfortable with open-source software and those who prioritize portability over high-end performance. However, it is not recommended for those seeking smooth N64 or NDS emulation.

Buying Notes

Priced between $300 and $400 (launch price $350), the MGSP offers decent value for its emulation capabilities. It was released in October 2018. Note that performance on N64 and NDS games may be suboptimal. The device uses a MicroSD card for storage (not included). Ensure you have compatible SD cards and are comfortable with open-source setup.
