(was wondering what ya meant)
When I received mine, it had a bad factory image which strangely caused most of the controls to be messed up. Worse yet, the SD card port didn't work, so no games could be tested. I nearly RMA'd it, but found a few Reddit posts where people reported this being fixed with a reflash. The reflash required taking the bottom panel off to access a reflash button on the board. I had to hook up the handheld to a PC with a USB-C to USB-A cable while running a Rockchip flash utility, then press the button on the greenboard so the utility would see the device, allowing the internal memory to be flashed, basically an "emergency unbrick" method.
Once reflashed, the controls and SD card worked as expected. I updated the firmware to the latest Miyoo Flip release, then flashed a Knulli build onto a spare SD card. To run an OS off an SD card, GammaOS team released a little utility you can run on the stock Miyoo build to prepare it to accept SD card boots. It works really well with Knulli. It can play a majority of N64 at full speed, surprisingly. The sticks however, hold it back from being a good experience.
I think this handheld is good up to PS1, with some Dreamcast and N64 games having a solid experience. It's less of a performance problem than those platforms just not being great with clicks buttons and tiny, slippery thumbsticks. It's a little 3.5" screen, so don't expect an amazing experience. It does however shine with GBA, which it replicates nicely with the form factor.

Then choose an OS. I'd lean towards ButterflyOS, Zlyme, NextUI or maybe Knulli or Spruce. But others are better imo.
Now be wary of the hinge on these devices. They can go bad. I dunno if adding like a layer of super glue where the plastic meets around the hinge will even help?
Otherwise the device is great...
