For anyone asking if this is better than R36S, yes it is. But as with all powkiddy devices, quality control can vary. But then again, sam for the R36s

Whats a good upgrade to this? Can someone reccomend one.
Depends on your price range and what you want to get. The anbernic 505 is on sale right now and it's leagues better than this.

Bought one last sale like this. It's alright for the price for sure. PSP works decent, N64 surprisingly also works ok without tweaks for the more popular titles I've tested. Anything older (Except the PC-FX, couldn't get stable 60FPS and didn't want to tweak it for games I can't read) works perfectly.

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
The clicky buttons can be fixed with a hot glue ..

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.
Moonlight works wells for me via Sunshine

I think it depends on what you want it for. I go the r36s for cheap because I wanted that form factor and it plays nes, SNES and other older systems well.. PSP mostly. It is the best bang for the buck. I have a legion go for the heavy AAA games. I wanted the r36s for pocketable play.

Is it hard to download the rom set. I'm a beginner, should I just get the 144gb version for about $20 more? Is it easy to transfer these roms to a name brand micro sd card?

If you get the version with the 64GB card, you can get $10 off with code AEUS10
Doesn't work with me:
Your order amount, after discounts and excluding shipping fees, doesn't reach the minimum spend requirement for this coupon code. Once you reach the minimum spend requirement, you can reapply this coupon code.
