Killer Bean is a fun game but short.

Nice! That gives me a bit more confidence. I tried opening my Anbernic RG556 in a similar manner near the triggers, and the shell got kinda dinged up from prying with the guitar pick 😅. Functionally, it's no problem, but god damn it bothers my soul!

Used Xbox ally worth it?

Basically open box. I've been out of gaming for a while. Recently got an anbernic rg556 which has been fine for some emulation but it struggles on some PS2 and the option to go higher is obviously nice as far as PS3. And some newer AAA games that I been out of the loop on

Best horizontal handheld for under 200$

Get a grip for it. If you want around the same performance, with better ergonomics, look into the RG557. But it's more exoensive. The RG556 is around the same price as the RP5 but a little weaker.

He has arrived today! What a beaut.

I have that one! I was playing on it today. I've owned it for several years and it's still the handheld I prefer over my others, including a large Anbernic RG556.

Best budget retro handheld with Wi-Fi for RetroAchievements?

I have an Anbernic RG556 and a MM+. I honestly prefer my MM+. The Anbernic CAN play Android and PS2 games, but not necessarily well. It wasn't worth the extra cash, IMO. The Miyoo may run fewer games; but as far as I've seen, it runs them flawlessly. It fits in my pocket when I have to ride on buses

"Première" console portable

Une vita c’est pas mal mais ça coûte assez cher en bon état. Tu perds le wifi rapide face au nouvelles consoles, le port usb c bien pratique, et l’os est pas dingue par exemple pour le Bluetooth je galère un peu avec les AirPods mais sinon c’est une super console bien plus qualitative que les nouvel

Is there a handheld that can play 6th gen(PS2, GCN,) with no issues under $200?

There will be issues when emulating ps2 on android. Maybe the Retroid Pocket 5 or Anbernic rg556/rg557
