😂 $6 🐉🐉🏆 I would definitely pay that for another one all day every day, I got my only one that I have for now with the two wireless controllers for right about $20. I already opened up a super Famicom controller just to swap to the superior membranes, that helps the SF2000 A LOT 💫✊ I definitely plan to on more than one of these and I’m hoping someone is working on a dock solution that will provide HDMI with stereo audio and the ability to connect USB wired controllers. 💥 Probably a little ambitious, but hopefully it will happen.

Is it true you can only use save states on this thing? If so, that presents a huge problem for pokemon games as the game resets after saving normally when you beat the elite four.
Other devices with a bit less CPU speed and ram, played up to PS1. Powkiddy v90 for eg.
Excellent game console with alot of games on it! My only complaints are that it doesn't have an option menu so I can tone down the brightness and the Super Nintendo games play at a very slow pace! Also I can't switch from mono to stero sound when I'm playing the GBA games all except for Breath of fire 2! Because if I switch the sound from mono to stero it sounds alot better! Which I've done many times on there concoles from 🇨🇳

For SNES if you start the emulator and quit then go back it normally goes to full speed. Its a bug.

It is actually under development, but it is difficult due to lack of documentation and what not. But retroarch is already up and running, though drivers need to be properly written.

Is it safe to replace the battery with a 5000mAh one?

Yes. But almost certainly your battery is fake. Tier 1 company's haven't even brought out 4000mah batteries. The max is capacity of an 18650 cell is 3600mah from Panasonic.

Yeah it will work. Just be careful not to over charge your battery. I heard even when its full it continues to charge the battery.
How many hours last the power?

Depends on the emulator and how heavy it is on the cpu, brightness etc.. but expect 3hours. You can of course use your own bigger battery.

i don't know! it's too slow to run anything worthwhile to play. tried to use the snes and it was sloooooow. final fantasy 6 was in slow motion. i have it and even at the price i paid for (around $16-17) it wasn't worth it. people should just spend a little bit and get the rg35xx and get to play more, including ps1 games.
