UPDATE: PortMaster has recently created a one-stop shop for all things related to running ports on retro handhelds. I recommend checking out their website and my most recent PortMaster guide instead of the guide below; I’m leaving this page up for posterity’s sake only. To get started, head over to their Games tab, find the game you want to run, and check out their instructions on that page. If you run into any issues, their discord server is also a great place to start.
In this video I’ll show you how to install the beautiful, widescreen 2013 mobile versions of Sonic 1, Sonic 2, and Sonic CD on any device running EmuELEC 4.0 firmware — including the ODROID Go Super, PowKiddy RGB10, and the Super Console X. And it can all be done for free! I really like these ports because they take advantage of widescreen devices like the ODROID Go Super, giving you an opportunity to play these games in a whole new way.
UPDATE: The Sonic ports are now available via PortMaster, which makes them available on many devices and firmwares.
This is all thanks to a decompilation of the Sonic games, which you can find here.

This new retro handheld has a 5″ screen and the same RK3326 chipset we know and love from the OGA, RG351P/M, RGB10, and others. So at about $100 (after shipping), is it worth picking up? Here are my initial impressions.
Buy one from Ameridroid or directly from Hard Kernel.
