RG35S and RG36S have the best screen at the moment, both models use the exact same screen.

tldr;
X7 for $11 is an amazing deal and can run GBA games flawlessly, just at a very stretchy and blurry aspect ratio. D-pad is four separate buttons like the face buttons, which are all too tall and take too long to travel to register. Shoulder buttons are stiff as fuck and only actually click and work at the edges near the sides of the device, not the top of them. Both analog sliders are PSP analog sliders, but much stiffer. But again, $11 and with what it emulates and how well it does, it's cheaper than a fucking value meal at a fast food joint.

R35S is a fucking amazing, powerful device for its price and actually does stuff like DreamCast and Nintendo DS comfortably. Can do PSP as well but with a 4:3 screen it seems retarded so I deleted those titles without even trying them. Biggest flaw is how they 1:1 tried to copy the Powkiddy RGB20S because if the analog sticks were swapped positions with the d-pad and face-buttons it would be fucking amazing, but as it is, all systems are uncomfortable to fucking play on it. Especially with Ark 2.0 defaulting the DreamCast's L and R buttons to L2 and R2 without mapping them to the second analog stick, so games like Sonic Adventure 2 you gotta fucking REACH to control the camera and use the face buttons to jump/homing attack/spin dash/bounce/light speed dash/etc.
But I really, really adore how DreamCast games look on the R35S's screen despite the pixels. It feels like playing a native DS game on a Nintendo DS, but with DreamCast graphics.

I like buying these things for around $50-60, me being the dude waiting on the R35S to arrive. If I wasn't already waiting on the R35S, I'd likely jump on this just to test it in person. I'm a vertifag but I do feel higher-end 3D consoles need a horizontal format (with d-pad on top, both sticks on the bottom) and this device fits the bill.
Strange that it advertises itself as a PSP machine so damn hard when it can't even do full PSP emulation. It appears to be Hardkernal's strongest handheld device, and for $50 it seems to be a good steal, but I have absolutely no experience with his company and its products and for all I know the device could end up feeling like it's made out of 3D printed and gumball machine plastics and needlessly heat up like an oven.

I'm gonna do it
I'm gonna buy the R35S Mini
Cheaper and stronger than the Miyoo Mini Plus/RG35XX and nobody even knows who fucking makes the thing but it can do like half the N64 and Dreamcast library okay
