Boltz Retro Device

[Guinea]

I really want to get one of these handhelds, my problem is that I can't seem to find any info on the wear-and-tear. I don't want to spend 60 bucks if it'll get stick drift after a few months.

Does anyone have one of these? Or, do you know what handheld is the best?

Wow that device is awesome.

Eu realmente quero comprar um desses controles portáteis, meu problema é que não consigo encontrar nenhuma informação sobre o desgaste. Não quero gastar 60 dólares se ele apresentar problemas de drift no analógico depois de alguns meses.

Alguém tem um desses? Ou sabe qual o melhor portátil?

Watch this video, it was way BETTER recommendations than I could write down here. Long story short, I bought an Anbernic RG35XX H device, and any other handheld of that same line is pretty good too. There are many good and cheap options in this market, and since I have never even heard about this one you posted about, I'm going out on a limb and say it is not a good one.

Miyoo mini + is good, it's what I have but I'd rather a horizontal form factor.

I keep seeing extremely corny ads for this thing on Youtube. I even saw a few vendors selling it at the convention I was at last month.
Probably just more cheap Chinese garbage like the rest of these devices that come pre installed with like 20,000 illegally obtained games. I'm surprised they always seem to get away with selling it.

I'm waiting for my RG cube xx to arrive, if it's any good I'll let you know, it's got a square screen, which is great for Gameboy, Gamegear, Snes and pcengine (at 8:7) and vertical arcade games.

If we getting picky about aspect ratios, Gameboy & Gamegear are more like 9:10.
8:7 is incorrect for all console games, it comes from old emulators incorrectly rendering square pixels.

That aside Anbernic is probably the best brand of these type of handhelds you can get. Most people I've talked to have been happy enough with them.

I'm not in these circles, but $60 for something like that screams "buy cheap, buy twice" to me.
