  • Impressive Console with a Few Tips for Best Use
"Great device but you MUST read instructions to prevent any unexpected issues!Just received in the mail.The device turns on and functions well well with many games. I was looking for one with the OG pokemon games (yes it has them!).I was also looking for a device with no wifi or Bluetooth. This device is advertised as not having wifi however you will find setting for wifi. I dont know if this is just a feature of the OS or if it is capable of wifi with external adapters. Further, i dont see and bluetooth functions/settings on this device. My military/government folk like myself may find this info valuable.Some reviews complain that they can not save their games. It is important to read the instructions as it tells you how to save the games (select+R1, not the native game menu option).Other reviews of similar devices indicate that it stops working after a while. Presumably due to a bad SD card. I plan to try to copy the provided card to a new (better) card in hopes to prevent issues. I also plan to try to make a backup SD card in case I experience corruption.I dont expect this to be perfect but so far I am pleased! It is worth it and would be perfect for deployments (military).I plan to update this review in the future" ... show more
