Honestly, I'm a big rpg player and the shoulder buttons were never really used. The L and R on the vol is actually easy to get use to and that actually has a lot to do with the size of it.

Do you know what's strange? H1N1 infected 61 million and killed 600k people worldwide, but there was no city being locked down or self quarantine. When Covid-19 happens, the world start paying attention. I guess everyone wanna downplay a simple flu. monarch wangke: U.S Swine flu (H1N1 Flu) has infected 61 million people and killed more than 12,469 in the US. Worldwide, up to 575,400 people died from the 2009 pandemic. It seems that a lot of people forgot about that virus. Which is really weird. www.verywellhealth.com/what-is-h1n1-swine-flu-770496

Really like the look of this device, but I have all my bases covered between now owning a Vita I picked up recently and my 3DS. Only thing I wouldn't mind having is better N64 support for a few titles. The having to carry around two devices if I want to have access to everything doesn't bother me much and the lack of N64 is more than made up for me with the support of native 3DS and Vita titles. This is probably about the best looking and designed device I've seen out of these Chinese built retro handhelds.Good on them and it's at a good price even for the dual boot model.

I've been looking for a handheld that can manage NES, SNES, Genesis, and GBA at 100% full speed with near-perfect accuracy. In watching many reviews of even more powerful devices, I've heard reports of obvious bugs with SNES/GBA emulation despite powerful processors. Can this handle SNES (including special chips) w/ no issues?

Excellent review, as usual. To be true, i was very surprised with amount of work they're made since engineering samples. This device was a completely no-no before this video. Now i even think i'll pick up this one over Odroid Go Advance, since no one knows when it will be really available to buy. As far as i know, almost 90% of factories in China was already returned to their work processes, thus no problem will be with shipping this console.

Hi thanks for this great video. I just bought this system and played with it during 1 hour. Then I decided to make a backup copy of the sd card on my pc. When I put back the sd card in the console the display showed 0 games ! I know that the card is full with games because I have checked on my computer but they won’t display on the retro game console. Do you know what I could do to make the games reappear on the console ? Thanks for your answer 👍

Just to be clear?: Will I be able to personally map the buttons? For example for Street Fighter III 3rd strike or Capcom "fighting" games I want the button layout to match that of an arcade machine - like the top row of 3 buttons should be punches & the lower 3 should be kicks.

My unit arrived with wonky controls. Tried to play SNES games, but the controls were delegated to the right 4 bottons, and they were flipped! (SNES X & Y = Retroid C & D respectively). I really don't want to map each and every game to reflect the button layout that you had.
