This sounds like a trend for staff posts and these portable emulators. Thanks for sharing

I bought the RG35XX a few months ago, and it does take a while to get. Be patient and it will come. The RG35XX is pretty awesome with GarlicOS installed, and I kind of wish I knew they would be coming out with this model with the thumb sticks because that would help on some PS games.

I have rgb20s. The little brother to this unit but RG353VS is far superior.C. Both in terms of CPU but it also has analog stick on the bottom and that's what people prefer. Also, RG353VS has WIFI, BT, and support for HDMI. So you could connect this guy to a screen, add couple of BT joysticks and play. I can't say how finicky it is with BT.

The two biggest downfall is their Micro SD and their battery:
Micro SD:
- Get a good micro SD(s). Make a backup of the original and put it away. The device comes with 2 micro SDs. Some prefer to go with a single large micro SD. It's up to you.

Battery/Charging:
When the battery is low, the device just looks like it's bricked. This confused me and others. You just need to charge it. Then there's the other problem where this device is notoriously finicky with chargers. People often use the USBA - USBC cable that comes with it as they couldn't get other chargers/cable combinations to work.

Besides those two issues, this should be a really nice device. If you love playing the old console or arcade games, you will be happy with it.

Does this one come loaded with games like the others I've seen on here? Or is it easy/cheap to get add them on my own? Not overly tech savvy 😅Thanks!

Don't forget to compare this with powKiddy X55!

I have it and it's awesome! Twice the RAM and two USB-C ports. I finished black thorn on it.

"ultra-high definition of 640 x 480"

I get that these games might have been made for that resolution, but still LOL at calling it UHD!!!

Yeah, that resolution works for most games but if you are in an emulator menu, I imagine it being difficult to read if the resolution of the screen is only enough for the games. My powKiddy X55 has a 1280*720 HD IPS screen. It doesn't help with game resolutions but inside emulator menus and in JELOS/emulation station, it's a great resolution. Long lists of games, nice game previews and descriptions, all very clear at this resolution. Again, won't help with in-game resolutions except it's a bigger 5" screen so it's like playing games on your phone.

Anyone know how this compares the R35S? Seems difficult to understand the variants of these portable emulators.

Any chances that this handheld will get discounted down to $60 in the immediate, foreseeable future?...

Looks like this one isn't preloaded with games. Where are you guys getting emulators and games to load on these?

the one i got with the 16+64 came loaded with games...basically just turn on, choose your system, ROM , then play. You can take the game card, second one, 64gb version. if you have a micro-SD adapter you can get games, copy and paste them to their respective folders///they're labeled. if you want more games that the 64gb allow, then get a bigger card, copy the content of the 64gb game card to the PC, then put all of the content to the new card, then put it back to the console
