I was surprised by the quality of this little bartop; the sound is quite decent, and you can put a batocera on it. The plastics aren't as bad as I expected (very surprised by that, actually). The screen is quite nice in my opinion, and the micro SD card is of good quality! What more can you say for the price?

A dream come true for those of us who grew up in the 90s. Having your own mini arcade machine at home with all the arcade games from that era is wonderful. I highly recommend installing Batocera BOB by Nacho Portillo to make it flawless (there are several tutorials on YouTube).

Good console even though there are duplicate games.

The console is exactly what i expect it to be. The stock os is slow but it has all the features. I installed batocera in another micro sd only to find out there are many tweaking to be done. Or just missing. Example stock os shows battery but batocera doesn’t. The console came in a condition where there was a dirt inside the top protection screen. So needed to open the system and clean it up. Other these these its a very good console. Recommended for those who arcade feeling in a small form factor.

I've only been able to use it once, but after updating it everything works fine, let's see if I can find more time to play with it.
