Even if you could emulate it on the PSP, the NGPC has a very nice "joystick" instead of a d-pad which will make it worth the 20 or so Euros it costs. It is rather cheap I think (maybe my prices are out of date though).

haha, im the worst at opening threads.
Seriously now, did you edit the opening thread? I have the impression I actually READ your first post before suggesting you should buy something you already have :)

Unless someone knows how much shipping from NY to Spain is... I'm still open to the idea.
If it isnt too much (like the typical 15 bucks from ebay) im still interested. I guess usps got some sort of online calculator for this.
I've got ten on it right now. I certainly wouldn't increase it any for you. But if I don't give you a deal I'd feel like I'm breaking Racket-Rules, haha.

I remember seeing cheap Wonderswans on the bay, but now theyre all like +30 bucks, and including super high shipping rates to spain :/

I would get a Gameking (¿or was it gameaxe?) if I got to see it... but never did

In the future, please put some time into coming up with a well-written, fully detailed initial post because this isn't a chat room. You're more likely to get good answers/ideas when you have a thoughtful first post.

The cheapest handheld I can think of is Cat's Cradle.

There are not a lot of games for it, but it's popular enough that Kurt Vonnegut wrote a book about it.
