    Great Review! I totally agree: There are so many devices today to play 2x res, pixel perfect, colorful, no tearing at all ... I love to play it again on something with all this little heart-warming unperfectness of the retro days in the 80s & 90s.

    For the price i guess... but I'd rather get a cheap smartphone. Even a $40 Walmart phone has enough power for great GBA emulation, for example. And plug in a controller. They even make those controller things you put the phone in the middle so it feels like a handheld. If you're that broke it makes sense i suppose. But for me, the alternatives just make more sense.

    I grabbed one of these for $16 on aliexpress today just to tinker with. It won't replace my RP3+, but I just felt like it was worth the price to mess with. That and it having RCA output, my kids can hook it to the TV in the back seat of my Chevy suburban, so that could be fun.

    I have a RG35xx, but I don't have it always with me. This might be a nice little device to always have in my jacket or bag. That way I can't forget it and I don't have to worry about scratching the nice handheld up or needing a large protection bag. Perfect for a quick match in Advance Wars or Tetris when I get stranded somewhere.

    @@dadou193 Like most have stated elsewhere, the D-pad is a bit crappy, so games that require more precise controls will need to be handled with the baby joystick, which is in an awkward position. IMO, they should invest on a better D-pad, lose the joystick, & just focus on just the older systems that actually play well on it (Gameboy, NES, Genesis), then maybe they could toss in some TurboGrafx stuff & optimize things better. Lose the MAME & GB Advance stuff, since the hardware can barely run it. I'd rather just have 200 good games that work well. Right now, it's basically my bathroom Gameboy Tetris unit, but it does a solid job at that! For the money, it's cool for a cheap travel/semi-disposable unit.
