Ah, just found out it's not compatible with Shield Portable so I can't try it out yet
Lots of games run at pretty much full speed on my Shield Tablet. Here's what I've tried so far and what's worked/not worked:
Albert Odyssey - good
Assault Suit Leynos 2 -- couldn't get to boot, probably bad cue file
Astal - good
Astra Superstars -- good
Batsugun -- looks like it will run fine, but the copy I downloaded has a bad CUE file. Have to fix on my pc first
Blast Wind -- works great
Clockwork Knight - this game runs fine but is not good
Guardian Heroes - graphical glitches, but playable
Guardian Force - this game is fun
Keio Flying Squadron 2 - I don't like this game
Layer Section II -- runs great, looks better than PS1 emulation too
Metal Black -- runs perfect
Mega Man 8 - Couldn't get past title screen
Nights into Dreams -- Runs fine
Panzer Dragoon -- perfect
Panzer Dragoon Zwei -- perfect
Panzer Dragoon Saga -- perfect
Princess Crown -- runs great
Radiant Silvergun -- perfect
Sengoku Blade -- perfect
Shining Force III -- runs well
I'll keep trying more and posting here, if anyone even cares.
I have my GPD XD now for a couple of weeks.
Pretty satisfied. Best chinese handheld i had so far. Buttons and d-pad are a bit soft, but otherwise great build quality with IPS screen. Same size as a 3DS XL.
FYI, AI has the S7800B for $77 shipped. I picked one up. Not affiliated with AI, just a heads up.

Really like this bad boy, emulation is really good, great hdmi output.

The GPD Win thread reminded me that the Pyra has a finished prototype:
Looks an awful lot like the Pandora, which isn't a bad thing.
Hopefully the price point, availability, and build quality are better than the Pandora's.
Here are the specs, according to the website:
* Pyra Standard Edition, 2GB RAM: 500 EUR without VAT (=595 EUR incl. VAT)
* Pyra Standard Edition, 4GB RAM: 529,41 EUR without VAT (=630 EUR incl. VAT)
* Pyra Mobile Edition, 2GB RAM: 600 EUR without VAT (=714 EUR incl. VAT)
* Pyra Mobile Edition, 4GB RAM: 626,05 EUR without VAT (=745 EUR incl. VAT)
The Pyra is available for pre-order. Here's the price summary:
Pretty intense.
lawwwlll. They're fucking insane.
Pixeljunkie, that handheld looks slick-as-fuck. I have one of the JXD android gaming tablets, and it's cool but I never use it. It was like $120 though. I can't really imagine paying $300+ for an emulation handheld.
