Great system and customer service
I initially got this system as I had a similar model that was running well enough but didn't have the full capabilities that I was looking for. I'm no expert in terms of emulator systems but have had some experience with all-in-one game systems and handheld multi platform gaming consoles in the past. This, however, is miles above those cheaply made, flimsy systems that are essentially 90% 8-bit games or knockoffs of popular media. This system allows you to run a variety of emulators which allows you to play several style games from a wide span of several decades. You can play classic SNES games, motion based Wii U games and a little bit of everything in between. There is a bit of a learning curve if you've never played an emulator but essentially what it does is allows the device, the RG405M, to replicate playing on a variety of Gaming consoles.All of the hard work is essentially done for you from the get-go as these emulators have been around for years but are already downloaded and fully activated on the device. All you really need to do is download your games from reputable, legal sites or copy them from your existing physical versions to create a portable game system that you can use virtually anywhere! And even that may be something you might not even have to do as the system posts and impressive ton of games already downloaded and ready to go once you turn this on. I looked through the list several times and, unlike similar systems that claim they have thousands of games that are all in one, this actually has no repeated games in their game lists. Some systems have hundreds of games already preloaded into the RG405M and it just takes a matter of finding which one is your favorite and with in a matter of clicks you're good to go. Games like pokemon, several Mario games, a number of Zelda games and a surprising number of Kirby games are already installed. My favorites are definitely the Crash Bandicoot games for the Game Boy Color and advanced emulators.Buying this over getting a brand new unit that has nothing installed is a no-brainer as it takes away 99% of the guesswork of jumping into emulators and playing them wherever you want. Now downtime is basically just more time to play as you can switch from Wii games to PlayStation to Sega Genesis, etc. games all within a few clicks of a button. Initially, my first unit arrived with some damage to the screen and I was really bummed but after contacting customer service, we reached a resolution to have the device replaced and the model I received is flawless. Took no time at all to reach a speedy resolution and the communication was excellent. Really felt like the seller was trying to make sure my purchase was a good one. Can't say enough about this unit and the seller in general as it allows me to relive Nostalgia from gaming as a kid, literally putting the power to play on my favorite units all in the palm of my hand!

A device meant for tinkering, but loads of fun....
What can I say about this device, it is gloriously good and I can easily recommend it.However, if you are new to the emulation scene, and you're not exactly the type to tinker with things....then stay away, you're better off getting one of their previous handhelds as those are much more user friendly (HENCE that is Android for you).....However if you are willing to sit down one afternoon and patiently set it up, you will have a pretty solid and powerful device to play with and endless hours of fun....If you are expecting to play stronger titles from the likes of GameCube, PS2, Wii and 3DS....then you need to subvert your expectations, this is NOT the best device to run stronger systems, you're better off spending a little more money and something much more powerful to the likes of Ayin Odin or the Steam Deck as examples (needless to say, it can run those systems, but you need to tinker a whole lot to get them running in a playable state, and if you are sensitive to frame drops, then this device isn't for you, the hardware simply isn't powerful enough to handle stronger systems)......But if you love Retro gaming then this is definitely the device for you, this little thing can run everything from Atari 2600 all the way to PSP and PS1 systems mostly with a good flow of consistent 60FPS, however it does require some setting up to do, that is if you are willing to have the patience to sit down and start tinkering....(I suggest you look up a tutorial, YouTube is a good place to start, search for: ANBERNIC RG405M Ultimate Setup Guide)Now to be fair, this device is already ready to pick and play, booting up your device for the first time will introduce you to a collection of pre-installed apps (most are bloat though), these are necessary to run your majority of games, and if your device comes with an SD card pre-loaded with (cough) games....then you are pretty good to go, however I do suggest you back up that SD card as soon as you can, these provided, preloaded SD cards tend to fail, they are very cheap so spend a little extra money and get yourself a good brand SD card, SD cards are cheap to buy so do not be stingy, get a good one....IMO, you are better off building your own library of games (where you get your games is your problem, Google is your best friend, I cant give you suggestions on how to acquire them) and following a good tutorial, get a small storage SD card and focus on getting the games you KNOW you're going to play, lets be real, you're not gonna be playing thousands and thousands of games it will take you a lifetime, so just cherry pick the games you grew up with and love very much....In conclusion, if you are patient enough to set up your device just right, you will be greatly rewarded with a solid device and then-some, with a premium feel and quality :)

Loving it
Best purchase I’ve made in a while - I’ve since filled about three memory cards with game roms and haven’t looked back. I love being able to take my old SNES, Sega, PSX and PS2 games on the road with me without having to carry multiple devices. Planning on buying some more for family this Christmas.
