About two years ago I purchased a RG350 retro gaming hand held the orange and black model. I don't watch TV and I get no radio reception so I was looking for a toy. They say the RG350 supports 32GB on both the internal and external ssd slot. After testing internally and externally I have 64GB for the OS and 128GB externally.  Apparently up to 512GB works as well. 

The RG has lots of community support and several firmware's available.  Currently I'm running the 1.7 which is not recommended but works perfectly.  

It plays PS1 or Playststion 1 games great with a few exceptions but is lacking when it comes N64 roms. Anything under that works without issue thus far.

Anyone else into retro hand helds?

Link doesn't have my model but has other RG models

Nice...  3DS, not aware of that one. My goal was to get two of these setup for my grand kids who live in Italy.. no joke or lie about Italy. I figured if I gave them to her she would have time for herself as the kids play 1000's of games. You know till they figured out these games suck.

This is the nintendo 3ds: https://www.amazon.ca/Nintendo-3DS-Cosmo-Black-Standard/dp/B002I096AA

I just got this one for my grandson as part of his Christmas because he asked for it. It comes with 500 games. It only has a 3 inch screen but you can also play the games on your tv.

The 3DS is hardly retro, although it's old enough now that they've stopped producing them. Fuck I'm getting old

I still have my GameBoy Advance SP, and it does work....can't find the charger though hahaha 😅

I always liked that about Nintendo, they're stuff was robust has hell, my N64 is still kicking and remains one of most treasured possessions.

Very Nice...  could you add roms?

Sad to say I have every NES and SNES and N64 roms for US, E and J. You know because I bought them all right? ;)

It has two USB C ports one for power/other and one for a external controller/other but not for power and a HDMI out. Thus far the HDMI don't work..YET.. I think. It might have a new firmware for the HDMI I'm not aware of. I know some guy in Hong Kong got it working. That dude in Hong Kong had Doom working networked playing with a PC. Quite cool.

You and me both. Old that is. 
For some reason I have every GBA rom as well. Not sure where I got them. Pocket Neo Geo as well... what is a Pocket Neo Geo btw? The roms are kind of cool, kind of.

Shiny you are 26 (27?).... get outta here 🤣. That's not even 1/5 of @RobMcs age! 

Retro gaming hand held consoles. I think i've got a tamagothci laying around here somewhere, does that count? Haven't fed it in 15 years, wonder if it's still alive 🤔

20-something years ago??...turn of the century/millenium??? ...was staying perpetually high & mastering Need For Speed to the point I could run all the tracks full-bore while just tapping the hand brake here and there.  Someone in the 20's saying they're getting old...wish I was 'getting old.'
