I got the Anbernic 351v coming in the mail which by all accounts is better but runs Dreamcast worse.
All the futzing is fine really. It is like 80% of what I bother with in emulation so I must like it as opposed to playing any game. The main problem is the butons are tiring. They seem fine, but after 30 minutes you feel kind of sore as I said multiple times in the thread.
I mean if you hang out on the retroid reddit you can grab one for like 80 bucks which is a pretty good price.
And if you aren’t like me and can just deal with the stock settings and retroarch it is a fine handheld. Abandon the built in Retroid OS with it’s Magic Box menu and unremappable buttons.
