The R36S is a "dirt cheap" Linux retrohandheld you can get pretty much everywhere. No built-in WiFi though, which limits usability quite a lot.

I got my daughters that an I regret it... Should have brought it for myself...

Now jodes aside. Is incredible for the price.

My biggest complaint is that their complimentary ROM collection doesn't have any of the Patapon games. I put mine in and now it's perfect :D

Do you happen to know how they are able to provide all those retro games? I can't imagine they licensed that many games.

By outright piracy ofc. They include a shoddy SD card full of ROMs, but you can and should use your own card (for longevity) with your own ROMs (for legal reasons...)

Oh wow. Their website says theyve been operating since 2019 or something so I assumed they had something going that stopped them from being shutdown by Nintendo.

Some of them cleverly don't include any Mario games, only Maroo games.
