    Glad to see this here! My 35XX should be coming in this weekend, already have the SD cards ready to go and waiting not so patiently.

      Welcome sapient_noodles! I’m sure your device is going to be a lot of fun.

      May all your noodles be sentient. ;-)

          Hmm, that’s a tough one. In fact, I’m going to cheat a little and give you a compound answer: Miyoo Mini, Mini Plus, and Anbernic RG35XX. I like them all for the same reasons. They’re so convenient & portable, and the custom firmware experience is top notch. I’m also a big fan of the Anbernic RG503. I love the OLED screen and the ergonomics.

          Is the RG35XX your first?

              Yeah, there’s not much between them. The RG35XX is easier to get hold of. I do prefer the fact that we can see the source code for OnionOS (for the Miyoo devices), but GarlicOS still looks like a great experience.

                Finished setting it up, everything seems to be working well with Garlic OS and dual cards. I love the screen on this thing, and being able to jump between games and have it save your progress automatically with the double press on the menu button feels really slick.
                Was a bit nervous of the build quality going on from reading things online, but seems nice and solid so far. Came with the new 2600mAh battery, no rattling shoulder buttons or screen falling off. Kind of botched the screen protector, which ended up in the trash, but I’m maybe 50/50 with those overall, haha.

                  That’s great news!

                  The auto-save makes all the difference. Makes you wonder why it’s not more widespread.

                  I can feel the tension just thinking about applying the screen-protector. ;-) If you’re going to carry it around in a backpack, you might consider getting a case.
