I am looking for a handheld device which can emulate Amiga Games nicely. I know of the Pandora, but it is extremely expensive, and apart from that, it is nowhere available to buy (at least in Europe). Anyone had experience on this? Can you suggest something?
I own both a Pandora and a GP2x Wiz and to be honest, though the Pandora has it's (serious) advantages, I prefer playing Amiga (and other emulation) games on my Wiz.
The tiny 4:3 oled screen displays the games really nicely. The colours are really on par with a 1084, though the only downside is the fact that it still is a 60 hz lcd screen; which means blurry moving images, and, with 50hz games, stuttering. The blurryness and stuttering also happens on your generic LCD screen. The 320x240 resolution will cut off a bit of PAL images, though not much, and the aspect ratio is intact.
So, the pictures are sharp, non-pixelated, pixel-perfect and the colours are not washed out like they are on a standard TN lcd panel. Successors of the GP2x Wiz, like the Canoo and the GCW Zero, have generic lcd panels.
Considering the Pandora, it's a great hobby project for hobbyists like me. I've used it mainly for listening to music, and using the tools (like ssh) that come with linux. The Pandora saved me more than once at work, as I have it always with me and it has a seemingly endless battery life. But for emulation, the lcd is waaay too el-cheapo.
Perhaps your best bet is a gaming tablet with IPS display like an NVidia Shield, a GPD Q88, or a JXD 7800b.
