Just got this bad boy yesterday and I'm like a kid at Christmas! ๐Ÿ˜„ 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.

Despite the literal mountains of shit that has come out of China, they are capable of making some nice things.

The RG35XX hit the right spot of having "good enough" hardware at a low price. It's been a smash success.

If you look at something like the RG353M, it costs more than twice as much as the RG35XX, is a little faster, but its design feels ultra premium like something Samsung or even Apple would make. It's compact, metal, and has quite a bit of heft.
