I bought this a few weeks ago. Yeah, the stock OS isn't all that bad, but I was basically forced to install the cfw after my stock card crapped out after a day, and the only image I could find ended up being corrupted. Gotta say though, its a really nice device, just wish the speakers weren't so bad.
Ah that's a bummer with the SD card. I'm still running the original in mine... I better flash it 😅 I've heard that people have replaced the speakers with better ones. That kinda eats into the value of the handheld as a whole... but I LOVE mine. Play it everyday.

👋 thanks! I found it for sale on AliExpress. It seems to go to the price fairly often. You just have to keep on the search and one will turn up. Totally worth it.
as long this can run GBA Pokemon Romhack (which bloated with so many stuff now days) and all GBA game without any problem, I fine with this cheap handheld.
@@EmceeIVoh btw is NeoGeo run fine in this? Coz Metal Slug is my no.1 game and I love Metal Slug 1-5 in NeoGeo, heck I fine with any handheld as long its comfortable, easy to use, and can run GBA Pokemon Romhack, GBA game and Metal Slug.
I just played through the first level of Metal Slug on Neo Geo and it played pretty well. There were some slight slowdowns during combat-heavy scenarios with lots of NPCs
Did buy, wanted to refund it. They said already shipped out, now saying to cancel the dispute to give a partial refund. Then says they can't refund, so the classic scam there, only thing find shaddy about that
Unfortunately that's typical of purchasing products that ship from China. I always make sure I really want it before I press that button to buy it. It costs a lot to return a product all the way over there. At least from the US
I'm sorry to hear that.. This is actually why I recently stopped buying from AliExpress 🫤 I most recently got a Powkiddy RGB20 PRO from Amazon and it had a defect. So I reported it and they refunded me AND told me to keep the product. I was mind-blown! Never going to Ali again unless they have something semi-exclusive

@@EmceeIV There's a video where all I guy did was swap the wires on like the left speaker and that fixed it, but you gotta have a soldering iron.
Hi great video, was wondering where u managed to find it so cheap?

where did you buy it, I’m thinking about getting one soon if it’s under 40 bucks
They are around 30 bucks on AliExpress right now 😀

My sentiments exactly! Just what I bought it for

@@EmceeIV oh well at least its can run it.
Some romhacks like unbound and 3d GBA games are gonna be a little too much for this thing so keep that in mind. Still a great handheld tho.

@EmceeIV I asked not long after purchasing too. Though that's how it can be sometimes
I'm sorry to hear that..
