Pretty good deal for this device. FYI that this chipset will comfortably run up to PS1, and are hit or miss (more miss than hit) on N64 and PSP, which is where you'd see joystick usage. While PS1 was famous for introducing dual shock, most if not all games primarily used the d-pad.

I was pretty hard up originally on wanting a device with joysticks but after research, landed on the TrimUI brick which has a similar chip and have been having a great time with the d-pad, playing a ton of Game Boy Advance. I got the 35XXSP for my 6 year old son who's loving that too.

Note - these devices come with a bunch of ROMs, a lot which are the same from different regions. You'll want to blow all that away and load in your own custom rom set. You'll also want to install a custom OS. I strongly suggest Knulli.

Any pointers to a good ROM DB/repository/Site?

Thanks for helping them out w/ that, techx Thumbsup Repped.

There's a code (IFPYFNU) that should take $10 off too, making it $44.60.

In for one, thanks OP... Last time I checked, AliExpress said that there were only 3x remaining. I already own a RG35XX H, but this option was $10 cheaper than the one I originally purchased for obvious reasons.

Wow, has more ports than $2000 laptop!2x micro SD card slots (w/ 1x 64GB card included)2x USB-C ports (one for charging, one w/ OTG support)Don't forget Mini-HDMI port? But I think it's too cramped to hold for people with big hands. I would prefer something a bit more grabbable, imagine Playstation controller type of grips.I'm going to tell you why it's not as comfortable because you can't just lay your thumb flat on the buttons due to the control stick under the game buttons. Why two thumb sticks?
This is exactly my only problem with my RG40XX H- all of these devices seem made for tiny hands. To solve it, I 3d-printed a grip for it that works great:
https://makerworld.com/en/models/...eId-741437

I'm still confused on what they were thinking with the location of the right stick- it def gets in the way (a grip helps though because it moves your hand so it's coming in from a better angle). I have half a mind to open the case and straight-up remove the right stick- I never use it.

They make ones for the RG35XX H too. I would love if someone would model some grips with PlayStation-style grips though- imo no one has ever improved on the PlayStation controller design as far as comfort.

I really want one of these but they can't do ps2 yet. I wonder if we're a few generations away from that.
The higher end ones can do PS2 fine. RP5, Odin 2 / Odin Mini etc.

One thing to keep in mind as that at this price, these things are disposable. I had a RG35XX that I used a few hours, then left on my desk for a month or so when life got busy and when I came back, the screen had a bunch of random lines. Contacting their support, they said to go back to the AliExpress seller, who told me to buy a new one.

I get it. It's "only" $40 -- but there's enough folks out there like me with their devices randomly dying that I'd rather spend my money elsewhere

Dont even have to go that high, my RG405M and RG406H both do PS2 well. I prefer the analog stick placement on both of those much better than on my Pocket 5.

Same with Dreamcast. Some of the less demanding games (chuchu rocket, jet grind radio, etc.) work well, others are hit-or-miss (both Crazy Taxis, Soul Calibur are definitely playable, Sega Rally... not so much).

I own an RG40XXH (so, same specs as this one, just with a bigger screen), and I'm having a great time with it.

This is a cool little device that works well enough for most of the retro games I play. My one major gripe is with the R1/R2 and L1/L2 buttons. They are super difficult to click comfortably.

Bought this from a previous slickdeals last year and I love it. Dreamcast and PS1 run beautifully, N64 is a bit hit or miss. Arcade games and classic retro run amazing. Vertical arcade feature amazing for pac-man games. D-Pad is great and UI is overall great too.
