An R36s is like 40 bucks, and can emulate a LOT of old game consoles. I think that's pretty neat
That's a good example! I have a RG35XX, and definitely fun to see how far gaming tech has come.
Where can you get one and does it take a lot of work to set up?
We got ours off Aliexpress (pretty sure all other sites are just dropshipped from there anyway)
Technically they come with the full OS and all the games preloaded, but their SD cards are very shoddy and you run the risk of losing all your data if you use those
Setting up a fresh SD Card took my husband about an hour for both of our consoles, so I guess it wasn't too tricky
Looks like they sell them on Amazon and some .UK site but I only see them for $65
Ali express (like Chinese Amazon, mostly direct from factories I think).
They are always "on sale", but the prices are usually 30-50 bucks.
Here's an example: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOcxZJq they come with thousands of games that for the most pretty just work. It a game doesn't emulate well, like mario64 didn't for me, I don't know what you can do about it.
Get the r36S - the S is faster or something.
Sam with miyoo mini plus. Great time to get into emulation machines.
For an extra 20, you can put Gulikit hall effect joycon sticks in it. And for a few dollars more, there's a spot on the board to solder and mount a haptic feedback motor. Still under $100. You want to get extra crazy, you could fit a small usb wireless adapter inside it. Still trying to figure out how to get stereo sound. But at the point of all those mods, you could get an RG35XX.
