Ah I have the newer model and haven't had issues. Doesn't seem to get hot. Been playing GBA mostly but Dreamcast and Portmaster (stardew valley and balatro) as well. Wonder if yours had a defect or if the newer model just sorts those issues. I'm on Big Banana MUOS at the moment.

I think you misunderstood what I mean by getting hot. I don't mean you'll feel the device itself getting hot and therefore be bothered. I mean the internal chip that handles charging gets so hot it can fry itself and harm it's own longevity.

Yeah I hear you, do you use an oldschool charger rather than a modern high wattage one? Mine got hot with one charger but I swapped to a lower wattage one. It definitely doesn't perform a proper USB C handshake.
