No. Only the Miyoo Mini and Miyoo Mini Plus run Onion, and Garlic is outdated.
There are several excellent custom firmwares for the Anbernic XX line, such as MuOS, Knulli, MinUI, and a modified stock OS as an alternative.

This is an incredible price for a great throw-in-your-bag, don't-mind-if-it-gets-beat-up retro handheld. As others have said, budget for a name brand SD card and do a clean install, add your own ROM collection rather than relying on the poorly organized stock card. If the stock card is Kioxia it's likely reliable enough, you can re-flash it and use it for your boot drive.
It was really marketed for people who want to emulate GBA games with the nostalgic GBA SP form factor. The ability to run other systems is a nice bonus. They didn't want to include analog triggers to make it more "authentic".

I think the 35xx h is way better for people who don't care about nostalgia.
This is an unreal deal. I pre order this and paid about $75. So much nostalgia. So little cash.

If you are buying this, I would recommend flashing the cheap SD card. It comes with a better one because they usually use a cheap SD card that tends to break, and it would save you a big headache down the line.

Don't believe so. Only the translucent ones are.

Tempted to get another one. I would recommend to avoid the translucent ones. The hinge on mine cracked in just a few weeks of light use. Have had no problems with the solid grey.

Quote from ssrrr123 :
Seems like a waste of computing power to be able to emulate credibly thru PSP yet not have analog sticks or triggers. (I see it has rumble and shoulders.) Am I missing something?

It was really marketed for people who want to emulate GBA games with the nostalgic GBA SP form factor. The ability to run other systems is a nice bonus. They didn't want to include analog triggers to make it more "authentic".

I think the 35xx h is way better for people who don't care about nostalgia.

I just watched a video on this and the original colors also got the upgrades if you get fresh stock. Its a gamble I guess

I think this is a spot-on assessment for this particular model from Anbernic featuring the H700 chipset.

This device can also be played in a sort of "console mode" by using a Bluetooth or wired via USB C controller and outputting the video to a TV / monitor via the built-in mini HDMI port Smilie

There are also those select PSP titles like Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X and Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles that play well on this CPU and don't require joysticks + work perfectly using a D-Pad.
