    It seems like Family Link on Android might be what you are looking for

    I think devices that use something like Emulation Station can only limit certain games and menu options but that still leave devices like the Retroid Pocket 3+. Anything that runs PC games should have it’s own suite of parental features or work arounds.

      That’s interesting, thank you. Would it make more sense to buy a $50 android phone (free upgrade) and use a razer kishi (I already have) and set up this family link rather than buying a $100+ retroid device?

        I’d say it depends what you want to play and what you can get. It might not be a bad move considering you could use it with other devices if you want
