@menherahair It would be better if they just use a torrent if they wanted to save their precious server space.
@menherahair I just want a nice, small device where I can have all my favorite retro games, at least up to Dreamcast or PSP. Basically, I just want something like an MP3 Player, but for video games and that's what these emulation handhelds are supposed to be for, but every single one of them has some major flaw. I get that compatibility issues and minor bugs are inevitable when the hardware and software are developed by separate parties, but it's really infuriating.
@menherahair I'm starting to realize that you are better off using something like a modded 3DS or Vita and install a bunch of emulators on those instead of buying these handhelds by no-name Chinese companies. They are much more well-known, thus the communities should be much better.

@xianc78 @menherahair yeah i was 100% going to say a vita or a psp would be so much better. and they'll work as multimedia players too!
@kerosene Anbernic RG35XX Pro.
@kerosene The Anbernic devices that run Android (such as the RG Cube) don't suffer from these problems, probably because Android is tried and true, unlike these custom Linux distros. I would recommend getting one of those, but the RG35XX Pro isn't one of them.
Tomorrow, I'm going to see if my RG35XX can boot using a different SD card and see if I can run bactocera (the best CFW from what I've heard) on it.
@kerosene And it turns out that I can only get the stock firmware to work, at least for now.
Oh well.
@kerosene get a ps vita or a psp instead, depending on how much power you want. if you want something like gamecube emulation i guess they won't work for you. i love my vita though it rules, and my old PSP got my through high school as like the ONLY device i used.
@beardalaxy @kerosene There are Android emulation devices that can emulate GameCube. The emulation devices that use Android are much more stable.
This device in particular is designed for GameCube and PS2 emulation, but I haven't tried it for myself.
