    I had the ambernick SP and it was my worst purchase this year. The hinge snapped in the first month and the os was crap.

      I own Anbernic RG35XX, which runs the same default os. My tip with this one: don’t bother with the default. There are way better operating systems for it and installing takes like 5 minutes. Although if the hinge snapped it might be a bit too late for this advice

          Most of my friends I know who went the kishi route instead of a stand alone emu handheld when I was rocking the rg355xxsp have since ditched it and acquired some manner of handheld, some even just opted for a legit GBA sp with a flashcart.

          reasons I have heard:

          • Got tired of draining my battery

          • My phone doesn’t have an SD slot and so I was not able/didn’t want to load it with roms

          • it didn’t fit in my pocket or was clumsy to use on the bus.

          Your milage may vary. I still have a couple friends still just using their phone and they seem happy so take that as you will.
