For those looking for something affordable, quick games, and an experience with entry-level Chinese consoles, this is ideal, and the deal is excellent.

I got one when they were $27 and it is a pretty capable device for this price, IMO - there's a moderately active development scene going on for this chipset. I do wish I would have gotten the horizontal form factor instead, as it's uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time.

they do but the sd cards die fast(like after 1 day sometimes) so its best to get a new sd card and put arkos+roms on it yourself

I dont know if this comes with games but most of these do, thousands of games. I got one for 35 a year or two ago so this is a steal. these do nt have wifi but you can add an adapter if you want. Theres is a newer branched of version of the OS you can install as well but need to find out which screen version you have. i have the most common version 4. Get one.

Managed to snag the Orange 128GB one since that's the better deal tbh (just less work adding roms vs. the 64GB one). Will definitely clone the SD card and probably never use that, but glad to finally grab one of these at a decent price!

As of this writing there is 1 more left. They'll probably restock again in the near future though like they've been doing.

Folks I purchased tirumui pro an year ago with 128 GB SD card included but I didn't know SD card is going to die. So I am planning to get this console just for the rom so I can copy it for my tirumui pro. Do you think this rom can be use in tirumui pro after copying

No they're different. If it makes you feel better I played my Trimui maybe 6-7 times and left in a drawer and pulled it out months later and same thing. Tried windows to repair the card and no luck. Miyoo Mini same thing.

Yes, the roms are just files that the emulators recognize/play. The device in this case doesn't matter.

Hey there, my r35 doesnt work probably due to the sd card. I'd like to clone the card contents but I know its not just a drag and drop. What program do I use to clone it to a better card?

I have Macrium Reflect free still installed on my PC so I was probably gonna use that since it's been very good to me for partition cloning and other advanced stuff. The video the other guy linked in his reply to you, Win32 Disk Imager, will probably be the easiest and most efficient solution, so I'm probably gonna try that out too.
