Back in the days when it was first released, I'm sure I read that it should be pronounced "Susie". That's the way I've always said it.

It's debatable whether the Wii U should be considered to be part of "retro gaming". It's my most up-to-date console. Nevertheless, I think it's worth getting this info out there.

I agree. It is absolutely crazy to think that the Miyoo Mini can handle the DS. In other good news, with ArkOS installed, your RG351V can also play DS games; other custom firmwares may also be able to do so but I haven't tried with them.

I hear a lot said about the Dragon Ball games, but I've never actually played one myself. Would someone unfamiliar with the mangas get a lot out of them?

I'm always curious about how people use their retro-gaming devices. Do you stick with games from your past, or have you found some previously unknown gems? For instance, I love the fact that I can replay the Metroid games, up to Fusion on the GBA, but I've also discovered that I thoroughly enjoy 1942 (Arcade) and its sequels.

It's amazing to be able to carry around a huge catalogue of retro games in such a convenient form-factor.

What are you playing while on your trip?

Well, I think you would be fine going blind as...

Sounds as if it may be worth giving a try sometime.

I do both, usually I re play old classics when I don’t want to think too much or I only have too little time to play to not being able to process stuff 😅

Have you also had been able to play some games that you always wanted to as a child, but couldn't, for whatever reason?

I never had time or headspace to tinker with my but it came with some preloaded games. I played a few, just to get the feel of it. I didn't own many consoles when I was young, so many old games are new to me. I found Fire Emblem 4 there and started playing it. It works fine, better than my Awakening clunky Samsung S22 edition lol. Ah, and rumors say will be remastered. I'll definitely get that. I'm sure they will do something with Awakening too.

(and possibly ) support the emulator for playing . PPSSPP is probably the emulator you have installed on the Android side.

In ArkOS, you would want to set the emulator to the "standalone" version of PPSSPP for better performance - press START, then "EMULATOR SETTINGS -> Sony PlayStation Portable -> EMULATOR -> STANDALONE".

This chipset does a decent job of PSP emulation. We started a repository of optimized settings for PPSSPP on the and series devices - https://k-tec.uk/2022/09/26/k-tec-starts-repository-of-optimized-ppsspp-settings-for-rk3566-devices-anbernic-rg503-rg353p/

Koriki or Batocera but, yes, it won't run on GarlicOS until there's a release with GPU support.

Lets see. Debian since 1997... so 26 years. Back then you had to order 12 CDs through the post.
