MINILOONG Pocket 1 4-Inch IPS 4:3 Display Open-Source Retro Handheld Game Console

Grabbed with the 128gb preloaded not bad for under 95$ with a coupon so I’ll enjoy it while out of town for work!

i loved this thing . but i dropped it getting outta bed headphone wire was wrapped around something . it fell from less than 3 feet on a wood floor . hit corner first the face plate popped off it fell over and the lcd screen "broke" not the glass but it burst inside . i bought 2 devices aftwards one cheaper one similar price because i thought it broke too easy(possibly landed just right or wrong and wouldnt normally break so easy idk) but i liked the miniloong better especially the buttons the controls are top notch and if i had to do it again i might have bought another miniloong instead even with its "fragility" it would be 5 star just not happy with how easy it broke . absolutely reccomend it just not to clumsy people i guess. any way i can put in a new screen? lol

Really enjoy playing all the games I grew up with and more the devise is sturdy and works well

On first impressions it appeared a nice handheld, comfortable with nice controls and a really nice screen. I got mine with a 64gb sd card, unfortunately the sd cards are of the poorest quality. After my first boot up of the console, games were no longer showing on screen. The only way i could play a game, was either by playing a recent game or a manual search which brought up a small selection of games. I cleaned the contacts on the sd card and they showed up again, but whether they appeared after that was sporadic. I felt it was inevitable it was going to fail. So i cloned the sd card onto a better quality sd card. The second problem lies in the operating system itself. It may have Retroarch but any alterations you make there, just change back to default, nothing can be changed. This can be a problem if you want to change a core because a games not playing, you cannot do it. On the likes of Mame or Finalburn Neo where changing cores is often a requirement to get a game running, this lack of that option, limits to what you'll be able to play. If these are issues that will bother you, i'd look elsewhere. If you just want a simple interface and change out the sd card asap. It's a decent handheld but not without its issues.
