So this looks cool. I went to their website and it said it comes with thousands of games. I guess it's just loaded with ROMs and it's a matter of time before they get shut down?
Might need to get one before that. How do you like it? I see it's running Retro Arch.
Just a heads up the "10,000 in 1" game claims that every of these devices advertises isn't something you should consider. It's going to be a lot of games you've never heard of for older systems like the NES so they fit on lower capacity SD cards. Potentially in multiple languages. It also comes on SD cards most people would recommend replacing.
It's better to just download the entire library, individual games, or an already curated collection.
Thank you for that.
The hardware definitely is worth it. I have one and absolutely love it. Most people just customize it after the fact. I haven't yet, but plan to. Especially with retro achievements.
Thanks for the rec, Chief.

I think Batocera-based custom firmwares can show retro achievement availability from the games list

These Chinese companies are all over the place, they’re going to have a hard time stopping them all. I have an Anbernic myself, it’s a great little device
Yes, this is not getting shut down, nor should it.
Tho there are more comprehensive collections found online, with proper names (for Miyoo), art, and micro adjustments to their emulators for better performance/look.
I installed onion os like all the beginner guides recommend! Pretty much followed those guides to get set up with onion os + tiny best set roms, w the 64+128gb expansion packs & some ports. Added a few anime films, too, since I had the space available.
I am loving it so far! 11/10 recommend! 👾
