This is such a great console. The micro SD cards that ship with the units are really terrible and have to be replaced. Loaded with an aftermarket OS like garlic it will seamlessly play anything up to PS1. NES and SNES plays perfectly. You can get ROMs online easily without risk of viruses, Google "tiny best set" for a package of games curated specifically for this console.

Ordered the same unit from official seller (Anbernic) on Tiktok for $20 before taxes (some clip on coupon for new user). Signed up using Apple Hide My Email, will delete the account & the virtual email address once order is delivered.

It's only better in that it has more powerful processor and analog sticks. OS, and overall quality isn't better. Analog sticks on r36s are janky and exhibit drift early on as reported by lots of users, dpad kind of sucks and some of them have crappy face buttons. And even with a faster processor it can't really handle ps1 and lower games better nor does it really play dc ds or n64 really well. Not to mention that it's bigger and not as pocket friendly. With that said it's cheaper these days than the anbernic, right now about 30 on ali, and for first portable console it's not bad.

Just look up retro gaming, and go through the videos, they have a shop thing at the bottom. That's what I did. You'll see some of them doing live videos.

These things are awesome at this price. Perfect for old GBA Games, and older. I started down the slipper slope... maybe I want an analog stick, maybe a better processor to run even higher end games... The end of that slope is a Steam Deck.

Just get this (and a reputable SD card if you don't have one lying around), and have fun with it. At this price I doubt you'll regret it. If you don't like it, give it as a gift. They will probably love it. Everyone I've shown mine to loves it.

Nah, end of the slope is an Odin 2. That thing is an absolute emulation beast. And a steal at $300. Steam Deck is really if you want to jump into PC gaming.

Which ambernic is better? It's so confusing to select one!
For analogs, the horizontal RG35xx H. The RG35xx plus is the new version of the one listed here, but they both cost more.

Every time I go to AliExpress now, there is a buy 3 get free shipping promo. It is a limited selection of stuff that ships from them directly I think. You can order up to ten items at lower than normal prices. Their answer to Temu? Anyway, it had this thing for $3.79.

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32...nav-review [aliexpress.us]

Should be interesting to see what shows up.
Depending on which "deal" link you go to in AliExpress, you can get them for ~$5 under the "1.79ea" or "1.99 ea" sales links on AliExpresses homeage.

I got the one you linked, and two other types (each one different) for $5 each shipped, just to try them out. These are nice in that if the kid breaks or looses it, it isn't much money. And they are "turn on and go", while the RG35XX is a bit more advanced and needs some computer knowledge to setup and run them.

Note: the version you linked (Note the shape and orientation of the speakers) has the most recognizable games list with things like Mario. The other two I got (one with better build quality, one with worst build quality) had many more knockoffs and unknown games. But I'm sure kids won't know much of the difference and still have a blast figuring out and playing most of the included games. These make great stocking stuffers.

I own both. The R36S is slifghtly larger and easier to hold. The joysticks are a great feature. However, the build quality is better on the RG35XX. The buttons feel better as well. The R36S feels slightly cheaper.
I think bang for the buck, the R36S is excellent. With this code it's <$30 from the same seller. The quality is lower, but 5 minutes of mods the buttons and dpad are pretty close. ArkOS on the R36S is very good too, and can be updated tethered to a phone, because it doesn't have wifi (can use a dongle too).

Just a heads up abt 'privacy' .com

It has been pushed a lot here by a few users affiliated with the service, but note that privacy .com is not private at all. They demand a debit card, driver's licence and other personal docs, but when I and a number of others (was thoroughly discussed on privacy subreddit) tried to get info on the service and its owners, we found very little info (it was deliberately hidded). Not very assuring for a business that requires to receive and store your sensitive data like debit card/bank account details and personal documents which kind of kills the original purpose of using the service in the first place, but even if they require docs 'for security reasons', I should be able to get info on whom Im sharing my personal info with. It is a very fishy and suspicious business that is registered in Panama and owned by Russian nationals

Once requested to upload my DL and some other documents, I immediately requested to close my account and delete all the info they had collected and associated with me. Never heard back from them.

Someone else may have a better suggestion, but I think the RG35XX H might be a good place to start looking if you want to stay in the affordable price range. There's a thread from Light in the Box here on SD for it (not sure if it's still active, however).

The RG35XX H won't run every game at full speed/without glitches; but there are some Dreamcast testing videos on YouTube using this device to get an idea (for instance: https://youtu.be/qqy1ovb_gRc?si=7j9WZ9CGY3czYxXH )

I'd rank it in the "can run *some* Dreamcast games smoothly" category.

The Retroid Pocket 2S (starting at $89 + shipping costs on Retroid's website) can probably do a good deal of the Dreamcast catalog. I would check Dreamcast testing videos for that devices as well.
