What's a good handheld for a kid? (lemmy.world)

Wanted to give my cousin (11) a handheld since he's never had a game console.

He saw my stepsister's PSP and was interested in it but she wanted to keep it.

Would like the system to be as simple as possible since he's not very tech savvy but also be able to play some PSP games since that's what piqued his interest.

Budget under $100 just in case he doesn't like retro games

You can probably find a Vita 2000 for around $100. It's super easy to mod and swap in an SD, and it can play PSP ROMs using native Adrenaline software.

There are newer and more powerful options, but for something straightforward to use, a Vita is still a good option.
