    You can just close the game. You dont have to fully reset everytime

    No need to reboot, you can quit in the menu much quicker.
    Besides, there are other operating systems that are a bit better like muOS or Knulli. One neat feature with the former is 64-bit Portmaster support, so among others you can play Stardew Valley.
    Neat that you review these devices, but you need to get into them more deeply to get the most out of them.
    Edit: muOS boots way faster too.

    You don't have to power cycle it every time you exit a game.

    Personally I like that it is thicker than the original. Not only does it make the device more comfortable to hold, but it allows the battery to be larger so we can play for longer.
    The reason it has a power button instead of a power switch is so that it can do a proper shutdown of the OS instead of just cutting power to the system. The Powkiddy V90 is another GBA SP like retro handheld, and it does have a switch. But it requires you manually return to the settings page of the main menu, tell the device to shut down, and then you can switch it off (otherwise you are likely to corrupt the file system).
    If those are the options, then I prefer the power button design used by the RG35XX SP.

    Holding down the power button is better I wouldn't like risking switching it on accidentally when sliding it into a pocket.

    I actually like the thicker design I have big hands and the people complaining about the button sounds are grossly exaggerating the issue and are just being completely picky about it there is nothing wrong with them.

    I find that ps1 and GBA are the systems that I like playing on this the most so far. I also like the buttons on this device for the most part. I played through Kim Possible Revenge of Monkey Fist and Gunstar Super Heroes already and I am currently going through Pokemon Leaf Green and Final Fantasy 9.

    I’ve spent the week or so since I got mine playing around, testing stuff, and setting up my library.
    I got the blue one (*low key regret not getting the silver*) and I’ve been really enjoying it so far. Definitely some compromises for the new consoles but they usually work alright.
    PSP has some games that run rough, but a lot run perfect. Imo, you need to stretch PSP, it’s just too small of a window otherwise. It looks alright and isn’t super noticeable to me being stretched.
    Dreamcast has some texture issues, where parts of textures in some games will disappear occasionally. Never so much that it’s an issue but def a compromise.
    DS you need to switch back and forth between the screens for most games (ex. Pokémon, you’re going to be swapping screens a lot in battles to see your move selection).
    N64 starts w/ the parallel core which runs A LOT worse than Muppen, which you should switch to immediately. Otherwise it’s good, outside of needing to hit power to swap between analog and d pad.

    Put MuOS on it, it's easy to do boots in 12 seconds and runs really well, much better than Anbernics OS. Mine is running perfect with it.

      Do they have the close lid to sleep function yet in MUos? Last I checked no cfw did. The stock os isn’t perfect but that feature is a game changer for me.

      Hi, I installed muOS on the SP (with the possibility of switching it to the H for now since I also have that), but I can't understand which folder to put the MDCD and PCECD roms in (I use SD 2 for the roms). In StockOs there are these two folders, but on muOS they are not there and therefore I can't understand which folder to put these games in. Could you help me?

      Just make the folders in the ROMS folder on the second card with the exact same names as MDCD and PCED
      Then copy your roms into the newly created folders and it should work.

    Loud buttons is the main reason I skipped this one and bought 28xx instead. Sure it may be fine if you are alone at home playing, but when you are on a train or mcdonalds then people will definitely like you much less than they would like you if you were playing miyoo mini instead 😅

      @SocialStudiesBob 6 дней назад

      My words were not accurate. I’m as old as Atari. I learned to type on a typewriter. When Atari, Calico, Atari 2600, original NES were brand new the buttons always seamed clicky to me. So for me clicky is nostalgia not necessarily Retro. I was around back then so I think I prefer the click instead of mush.

    I tried the controls with the dome switches on the backbone one controller and I absolutely don't like them because they tire the fingers and have horrible tactile feedback. Anbernic is famous for its conductive membranes which are wonderful, is famous for its amazing controls, the company wouldn't have never had to use dome switches, wrong choice, don't buy it because 97% of you won't like it!
