Who are you supporting when none of these games are for sale anymore?

I'm pretty sure buying used NES/SNES/ARCADE games doesn't give a dime to the devs. I'll happily buy games that have been re-made or even re-released. if they aren't available for purchase, I'm sailing the 7 seas.

Killer deal. I bought this for Christmas and have been playing it quite a bit. Battery life is surprisingly good, and I'm able to play games up-to (and including) Dreamcast/ps1 with full speed. For example: NBA Showtime (NBA in NBC) runs really well on this device on dreamcast - as does NFL Blitz dreamcast

I bought two of these for $40 each for my kids as Christmas gifts. Best gifts ever! Big thumbs up for an even better price.

A lot of these handheld retro devices have mini-HDMI ports (this one doesn't') so you can just plug them straight into a TV and use a bluetooth controller (this one doesn't have bluetooth).

You need to pay more for something with wifi/bluetooth/mini-hdmi. Check out devices by Anbernic and Retroid.

Lol zero of the of the talented devs that made these old games exist anymore. Even if they do, it's in name only. The originators moved on. These are great to preserve the history of what the medium used to be, similar to the downfall of every other medium we are witnessing right now.

Seriously, im tech savvy and read the ad - where do you get the game content to install in this?

Yes please roast me, especially if I missed where it was posted in the ali express ad, but once I buy this (or whichever device) how do I go about getting games to play?

TYIA!

I noticed that the same seller has the original (2023) RG35XX [aliexpress.us] in Grey w/ GarlicOS & 64GB microSD card for $32.95 after code NEWUS8OFF; but I didn't post it along with the R36s since I wasn't sure if anyone would be interested in the RG35XX at that price.
I wonder which model is better? Can I play PSP or DC game on this device?

R36s is more powerful, rg35xx has custom firmware that can play alittle DC and psp but it's still being developed. R36s runs on a more matured custom firmware and able to play more dc/psp. The difference is the built quality, rg35xx has better plastic and buttons. So better quality vs better performance.

It does say Nintendo games, one of the reviews shows Mario. Are those true original games or something dev modified from the older Mario games? Just wondering. My kids are into Mario wonder and I wanted to show them what us oldies used to play with. Also, any list of Mario games this device might have? TIA

It is a very reasonable qs to ask🤷🏼 ♂️. Ofcourse we can google and find answers but the whole point is to save us some time in research as someone else might have done before us. I wanted to know the same exact thing

Bookmark this Reddit thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/SBCGamin...kingdom_a/

Per that thread this is in the Tier 1: PS1 and below tier.

Hope that helps!
