Best retro handheld ever!!! I'm relatively new to the anbernic party. I'm an 80s baby so I lived in the greatest gaming decade. This little thing has an SD card loaded with games. 4,929 games to be exact. There are a few that don't really work 100% correctly but that can be fixed by changing the emulator program. Mine came with a 64GB SD card that only had the numbers 64 on it(super generic and won't last long at all.) To fix this, get yourself a brand named micro SD card with at least 128GB of storage. You will need an usb external card reader unless you have a laptop with a fairly newer set-up of connections. Google how to copy SD card for use with an anbernic handheld gaming console. You will have to download 2 programs to copy the games to the desktop and then to the better SD card. If you wanted to do so, you could also change the emulator software that comes loaded to one that you like better or prefer to use. I've only found 3 games that didn't work properly but they could work properly with a better emulator loaded to it. You absolutely can change the emulator without affecting any of the games on the SD card but my advice would be to just clone the whole SD card, just in case something were to go wrong during the process of getting your handheld going so you won't lose any of the great "gems" of retro gaming thats included on the SD card. Changing the emulation software is a little scary but it is worth it and really you could just start back over again cause the SD cards contents would still be save to the desktop on whatever computer you use to get set up. So to recap just clone the card directly out of the handheld. This will guarantee that you don't affect any of the game files that are included on the SD card. Once that is done you can load a NEW SD card with an updated emulator of your choice. If you're successful with doing that, you can then load the software that was on the card that is now saved to the desktop, onto the new branded SD card. Once that is done you can enjoy you new retro handheld. Trust me it is worth all the jitters you'll get during the whole entire process. The best part is you'll learn a ton about "homebrew" gaming. It definitely won't be your last anbernic handheld and it could even be something you have zero idea of what is available right now. Like a whole handheld build entirely by your own hands from software chips to the buttons you smash while playing, its really more rewarding than you think. You can even add your own games by doing a little Google search. You'll be glad you bought this handheld just like I am.

Works well. Holds a good charge, good sound quality, easy enough to figure out and has soooo many different games to choose from and even a variety of versions of the same titles! We bought a case to go with ours and it has safely traveled with us.

At first it was fun, worked well enough with decent battery. But now it doesn’t turn on, and I’ve only used it for like 3-4 hours. I wish I could get a refund because now all I have is tech garbage I have to deal with

I searched and searched for a good portable game console. Did lots of research and read a lot of reviews. This is hands down the best I've seen for my purposes. Battery life is great, and you can always plug it in and keep playing if it does go dead. Display is crisp and clear, sound is good, and it has a quality feel in your hand. Seems well built. I love being able to download more games, but the classics it came with have kept me busy enough for now. It even has Doom, Doom2, GTA2, and many other titles that surprised me. I love it!

I think I would give this 4.5 stars or even 4.75 stars if that was a thing, but, unfortunately, Amazon found that to be too cumbersome for their website. This is a great system. Before I tell you why I subtract one star, here are the reasons I love it. You can add roms, pretty easily if you are familiar with rasbian systems. This portable comes with duel front ends, the stock OS and Garlik OS. Garlik OS is similar to Retropie, but has less options, which is to be expected on a portable system. I love this little handheld. It plays up to PS1 games and plays some of our favorite PC games, either via the DOS emulators, or via the PORTS. To be fair, there is a nostalgic relevance for this hand held for aging gamers like myself. I'm astonished that I'm playing Warcraft 2 or Zork: Nemesis in the palm of my hands. Younger players won't appreciate the incredible leap forward it is to play these classic games in the palm of your hand. But, for those of us who were there when beefy, thick laptops were Pentium 1s running Windows 3.1, it is amazing to run your favorites on a tiny hand held. That said, this system has surprisingly intuitive controls, great customization via retroarch, and excellent expandable emulation. I have never really gotten into portables, but this system is like having a retropie in the palm of your hands. Now, for the minus one star portion of this review. If you are not into the deep end of emulation, you probably won't even understand, let alone appreciate most of these complaints, so, for you, this would be a 5 star rating. For those of you who understand the deep end of the emulation pool, here are some things I didn't like. There are a lot of emulators that lack flexibility. For example, FBA does not allow for screen rotation, and that is SUPER frustrating to deal with, especially with arcade games. I understand the limitations of the emulator, but this is not the case with more beefy front ends like emulation station. I don't appreciate the lack of "meda-data" in this system. I wish there was a way to delete, edit, or even scrape the meda-data for each rom on the fly, without the need to eject the memory card. This could give you the opportunity to re-name games and change the picture connected with that game. But that is absent from this system. Overall though, I love this little hand held, and I think it is well worth the money. I would recommend this to a friend. I, in fact, am recommending it to friends. It's a well built, sturdy little gadget to keep on hand for those rainy days away from home in a no wi-fi zone. It will bring the comforts of your gaming past into a very cool present. It is a complete system and will play all your games, up to the PS1, flawlessly.
