  • I love the 4inch screen on this one. I think it would help if you zoomed in a little while you are playing. It’s kinda hard to see when you are so zoomed out.
  • The bigger screen, its ratio and button placement make it a good option for basic retro emulation. I still hope we get an affordable, foldable 2 screens console to give the New 2DS XL experience.
  • @rhober1970
    Great video. Could you make a video about to how to configure the heaviest systems? Thanks.
  • @nightmonkey07
    Can you have it hooked up to a tv/monitor while doing wireless net play?
  • Great video! Do you know if this device would have better performance with N64 and Dreamcast if you were to change the OS? I’ve heard some people online saying that performance increase with an alternative OS installed
  • @caffeinetweaker
    Hope they come back in stock soon! Either way, great video!! Have a sub! :hands-yellow-heart-red:
  • thanks.. ordered one on release day.. its currently tracking "in flight" from China to U.S.... can't wait...

    My switch lite is my favorite handheld by miles. More than my OG switch, steam deck, retro handhelds and 3ds. That said… to each their own… lots of good competition… which is good for all of us :)
  • @Veddy74
    I'd say 40 H, cuz you know they are going to make an RG40xxV

    With my RG35XXSP, I tried to play Altered Beast on RA but exited. Thought it was a bad rom so i replaced it with a known good rom, tried the other cores on RA but still exits. Tried with GameRooms and it DID play. So it must use a different core. Openbor are fan made games. I like to turn off overlays and change scaling to core provided for full screen.

    can we watch youtube in this, through app or website or any other way, pls suggest?
  • One thing to keep in mind, PAL versions of games run at 50fps. I don't know why Europe wants to be different, but they are.
