An R36s is like 40 bucks, and can emulate a LOT of old game consoles. I think that's pretty neat

Sam with miyoo mini plus. Great time to get into emulation machines.

That's a good example! I have a RG35XX, and definitely fun to see how far gaming tech has come.

Where can you get one and does it take a lot of work to set up?

[-] python@programming.dev 5 points 15 hours ago

We got ours off Aliexpress (pretty sure all other sites are just dropshipped from there anyway)

Technically they come with the full OS and all the games preloaded, but their SD cards are very shoddy and you run the risk of losing all your data if you use those

Setting up a fresh SD Card took my husband about an hour for both of our consoles, so I guess it wasn't too tricky

Looks like they sell them on Amazon and some .UK site but I only see them for $65
