I keep one in my travel bag to have on hand at the airport or when flying
Some of the games may be not the correct language, but depending on the game it may not matter.

Even not tinkering, you NEED to replace the cards on these. They are all bottom of the barrel.
I know memory is expensive, these have 2 card slots (OS and Games)
They come with one card, with the OS and all games on one. Simply clone it over to a healthy namebrand card.
Or move to a 2 card setup (easy to do)
Even if you have some old 16gb for the OS card and use another for games you're going to be fine.
I just set one up for my son, 16gb for OS and a 32gb for games (all I had) and came no where near filling it up.
Just remember, Quantity isn't quality. - these cards have tons of Duplicates and foreign language and pure shovelwear / junk games too to get their ridiculous 10k+ game claims. You want to curate the ones they include or Google for a 1G1R complete set (1game =1rom)
For tinkering folks...
Another note - most of these R36s have multiple variants on parts, as they are built from whatever is available to build the boards and screens. This only matters to you if you plan to change to another OS. You can watch some YT on how to figure out what revision board and screen you have to make sure you download the right OS edition to match.
