Yes, it does!

No, this is not built for Android!

Oh I’m so sorry, it seems that you struggle with reading!!!

This isn’t anything to be embarrassed about, kids and adults have trouble with reading and comprehension all the time. I’d encourage you to get your parents or a guardian to look into education help. Even (at the worst) YouTube should have plenty of basic comprehension lessons available, which will make following these complex patch notes easier to understand!

Let me know when retro deck supports Switch emulators

Ryubing is the new Switch emulator.

Added: A new Emulator: Ryubing

Let me know if I can be any further help! More than happy to help you with reading. I’m also really good friends with the developers behind RetroDECK, so I can always pass on your beautifully and kindly expressed comments.

Also if you do get one, replace the sd card immediately! I didn’t have an issue, but have heard it is very common.

ABSOLUTELY replace it! They’re ticking time bombs (in a not so flash bang fashion). It will die, the question isn’t if, but when. Also the USB cable they supply? Not trustworthy for the R36S!

…that said, I’m loving that you’re so happy playing older games. The best retro handheld is the one you already own and love, after all!

The R36S is so popular that it transcended being a niche hobby product. They’re curated, bought and sold everywhere! Even throughout places like Instagram and TikTok. So you’re well and truly holding the most popular of the handhelds!

But do watch out, because the relative cheapness of some of these handhelds can be a dangerously slipperly slope to collecting them :P

Oh thank you! So very much!

Especially for the compliments on the site. Which I should add is actually created and ran by Gardiner Bryant who you might recognize from YouTube?!, but I’m an author on the site. And his good friend. So the fact you pivoted and read through other posts, and enjoyed it?

I can’t tell you how happy that makes me (us!) :)

And you’ll love the AIR Mini, though AYANEO is currently being put through the wringer for promising the world and being very slack with deliveries. So I do hope yours get posted and delivered soon.

Thank you again!

Oh I know what you mean! There’s something nice and…IDK self-contained when you have something like this. It’s so well made (Anbernic’s buttons are a lovely thing), but the screen is the shining star here. I love that its 4:3 and forced me to focus on older systems.

The most I’ve played have been Nintendo’s old Game Boy games! Oh and PS1. I’m sure there will be sales with the January discounts coming on Aliexpress, if you do get tempted though!

It has pros and cons I love how Linux has SO many options, and community builds are almost endless. But then again, Android gives you so many advantages. Emulation is a breeze, and if you adopt a front-end like Beacon, it can launch straight into that.

Android made me download a ton of 4:3 cartoons (looked amazing on the screen!), listen to music, and emulators are so very easy to use on there.

I think it’ll come down to preference, but to me Android is an asset on this one. Thinking of GameHub Lite, for example.

Really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks :)

Same with my laptop!

My laptop is 3:2 and it looks exactly the same as yours there. Not super readable is it :(

Its the Anbernic RG40XXH!

This looks amazing!

But yes, the aftermarket replacement shells are often quite good (or, equally often not good at all - they’re a gamble whether they’ll be a nice one or not!) But the sticks are known to be bad. People tend to stick with original sticks, from what I recall.

Though your effort looks amazing, I love the transparent shell!

Fix it up completely!!! Consider this your reminder to do so

It was funny seeing Anbernic do their own (very) chunky take on the PSP Go recently, for a retro handheld.

I got you sorted!!!

This is a totally new model. That one was larger and had thumb-sticks, this one’s much smaller and ditched the sticks (and yes, fixed the hinge woes!)

I shudder to think if I were so brave as to use the same banana each time. It would be a bit worse for wear by now!

(small edit) Actually, this may very well be the same one as from my last review!

I think it’s pretty obvious that they’re both very much drawing inspiration from the SP.

And that FunKey might even push my younger eyes to be squinting! 5 years of play time is amazing for one of these, well done!

I get asked this question a fair bit! Each time ive shared a review recently I added a banana pic. I tend to get asked what my review of said banana is.

But I have an autoimmune disease where potassium is terrible for me! So…I never know how good these bananas are :(

Potassium + PerfectDark = doom and destruction. Banana for illustrative and measuring purposes only.

It did look good though?

My friend is a dev for PortMaster (spoiler, interview coming soon with klops and the team!), and he has one of these.

So…‘maybe’? Unsure for now, maybe is all I can say.
