This isn't another settings database. It's a living, breathing hub for handheld gamers, built with passion by one of your own.
Our AllyBrain gives you the baseline. But the real magic? That's what we, the community, create together.

Real gamers, real problems, real solutions. This is our living forum where the community creates the knowledge that powers everything.
Every game optimization starts with a pioneer. We reward first contributors with double XP and community recognition.

The story behind HandheldAlly - a dream turned reality through 7 months of pure passion.
I'm a handheld enthusiast and a tinkerer by soul. I was always dreaming about a place where we could all connect and share this hobby... the handheld way of gaming, anywhere, anytime.
It took me 7 months of passion to build this place for us. This isn't a faceless company; it's my full-time devotion to a community I love.
Every feature, every optimization, every interaction has been crafted with one goal in mind: to give fellow tinkerers the tools and community they deserve.
"This is our home. This is our family. This is HandheldAlly."
