Just got this bad boy yesterday and I'm like a kid at Christmas! πŸ˜„ The delight I felt firing up my old love, Desert Strike... Goosebumps! Seriously impressed with this bit of kit, and I'm enjoying exploring the options as much as the many many games! The effort put in by the community with GarlicOS and the ROM packs is simply magnificent.

Congrats! What’s the name of the hardware?

Pretty sure it’s the RG35XX? Right?

Seems pretty cheap, and the top seller I see in Google is temu which just gives me sus vibes

It’s a well-known device/brand in the retro gaming community. You can also buy it direct from anbernic

That's great to hear, it looks really nice, so I was expecting Β£200 not Β£50!

Get it from Amazon if you are going to buy one. Anbernic is in China so their customer support on a $70-80 device is barebones to non existent.

I picked mine up from Amazon for Β£80 with next day delivery. Loving everything about it so far.

The manufacturer is chinese, so that's why most offers are from chinese resellers.

I think it would be the best advice to buy directly from their online store

I got some bootleg Airpods from Temu that my iPhone recognizes and treats as Airpods. I call them my Airpuds. LOL. But, tbh, the audio quality is on par with my wife's actual Airpods. The construction isn't as solid and I wouldn't sweat on them much, but for 20 bucks, I'm happy with them.
