Great screen, good performance can play most PSP games but those shoulder buttons are horrendously clicky. Ended up getting rid of mine for that reason

Some folks have reduced the click noise by padding the shoulder buttons. There's a YouTube video I believe.

Did you happen to have any "ghosting" with the screen if you wiped it? I'm not sure what's wrong with mine, but the screen turns almost whiteish if any pressure is applied (even the lighted pressure, like when cleaning it off).

I watched that video, it only addresses the trigger buttons, the shoulder button are the loudest ones and no way to easily fix that unfortunately. Also here's a link to that video if anyone needs see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M...el=Cyrilou

I wanted to chime in that this is a fairly good unit for emulation. I did find that the Moonlight Game Streaming did not work well at all. I have wifi 6 router and every game I attempted to stream was super choppy.

How much better (aside from the screen) is that his over the R36S that's on SD right now? I'm guessing this does PSP/Dreamcast/N64 better?

Mine does. It's irritating but the screen eventually corrects itself. I did have to remove a screen protector because it caused pretty severe ghosting that looked like burn-in.

Thanks for the reply! Helpful to know I'm not the only one, but very irritating.

My unit demonstrates this same behavior also. It looks similar to light bleed but only happens if enough (it doesn't take too much) pressure is exerted on the display. Like you said, when wiping it clean with a cloth while the screen is turned on.

On mine, it fades away in a matter of seconds until the screen looks normal again; and while it hasn't gotten in the way of being the retro device I use most often (mostly because of the 5.5" screen vs. most of the others I own being 3.5"-4"), I did find it to be a rather odd quirk. I thought it had something to do with the tempered glass screen protector I'm using but I didn't bother to swap it out to test that theory.
