in case if you want to know what the device is capable of, this is a good site
https://retrocatalog.com/retro-handhelds/r36h
This device is the horizontal sibling of the R36S, hence the letter H in this one's name.

The R36S was widely considered a really good budget handheld. But the longevity of it really isn't know yet as they haven't been out THAT long.

All that said, it's under $30 and mass produced in China. So, take that for what it's worth.

If it breaks in 6 months, I GUARANTEE another handheld better than this will be available for $30, and you'll like have had $30 worth of fun with it.

Edit: to note, I have dozens of handhelds, some budget similar to this, some expensive. The budget ones are all just fine for my use and I have no reason to believe they will fail.
The Anbernic 40xxV and 40xxH are fantastic 4:3 ratio screen devices that will do what you want. The V and H designate vertical and horizontal. Slightly more expensive that this device here, but also much better quality. You can't go wrong with these. There are more expensive 4" screen devices too that will play Gamecube and even some PS2, but those are over $100.

There is also the Trimui Smart Pro for a similar price. It's a great handheld, and is 16:9 wide-screen. That makes Gameboy Advance nicer on it, but it's also slightly larger of a device.

Great deal for a budget handheld! At this price, it's hard to complain even if you need to swap out the SD card

Comes with a crap brand 64GB card loaded with a decent set of ROMS according to the youtube review. Highly recommend replacing the included sdcard

I think it's highly recommended replacing the SD card in all of these no matter what brand

Quote from Mr-Blister :
Has anyone else had this issue?I checked out, saw my total, paid for the device and then went to check my order and the amount I was charged jumped up by like $7?I bout this one https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32...67185.html which was listed for like $21 something. My total was $22 something.When checking my order AFTER I placed it, my new total was $29.58. I canceled the order and went back to the product page and the new price for the device is $27.52? So weird. I've never had this issue with Aliexpress before
I had this just yesterday, an item was showing as $0.99 - I verified it carefully before clicking the last payment button. After placing an order, I got an email from paypal that I was charged 7.05 for this item LOL
Talked to support, they were pretty much useless unless you have a screenshot of the price before you click pay button. Obviously, I did not have a picture of this price; so, I cancelled the order and was instantly refunded.
Moral of the story, screenshot the order total and each item individually before you pay for it.

Just keep in mind that you're probably going to want to clone the SD card it comes with and replace it with a more reliable brand.

Does this use microsd or sd card?

Also, what voltage is the battery? I was considering replacing it with several high quality AA NiMH low self discharge batteries, which will only lose about 10% of their charge after 6 months.

Or, if I don't do that, what is a good game to put this on to test the battery and make sure that it is holding up for a certain number of hours of use?

There's a bunch of YouTube videos on how to load ROMs.

I have an R36S and love the thing. You might as well consider that 64gb card trash though, they all are. It'll be fine for a few months, but you'd be wise to get a quality card.

My R36S has 2 microsd slots, I assume this r36h does too. The idea is that you can keep the OS on one, and roms/data on the other.

I have one. It plays up to PS1 games no problem. Even upscaled.
I wanna say PSP isn't that big of an issue either.

Was interested until I saw the screen is only 3.5 inches. I can't complain for the price but most games are not designed for small screens except for stuff like DS games.
