@xianc78 you get around this by copying the file to your drive and downloading from there

@menherahair It would be better if they just use a torrent if they wanted to save their precious server space.

@xianc78 there's a billion things wrong with each of these devices starting with chip supplier fuckups and ARMshittery, and ending with total community retardation and customs stealing packages because they're for "piracy". I'm just happy it boots at all

@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!
