RAWR DEALS

GB-60A

Emulator handheld. Can play NES, MD, GBA, some VT03 and technically SNES but doesn't have X/Y buttons. It's effectively the "upgraded" version of the GB-60 (which was a famiclone) from the same manufacturer, using almost the same shell.

Runs on a VT568 ARM SOC. Generally emulator performance is "OK" but the NES and MD emus are forced into PAL mode and some of the button mappings are weird. (it's a budget machine from 6 years ago, set your expectations accordingly.) Supports save states.

50 games built in, 10 Jungletac VT03 games and 40 Nice Code/Inventor NES games. 2GB MicroSD card includes original frontend menu and 1400+ games across various platforms. (This card with the original menu is hard to find, the common Aliexpress units had it replaced with a custom card from the seller.) The stock menu has a hard coded game list but you can run your own ROMs from another MicroSD card.

Includes an AV out cable, USB charging cable and BL-5C battery. However the stock batteries have very poor capacity and only give about ~45mins playtime on a charge, a good quality battery can give multiple hours of usage so I recommend sourcing a replacement battery if you plan to seriously use this.

I have multiple units of these in both red and yellow, they are new old stock from 2019.

R36S (clone)

Open source Linux-based emulator handheld with RK3326 processor, 640x480 3.5" display, 1GB RAM. Transparent blue colour. 64GB MicroSD card included.

This is one of the "clone" versions which ships with EmuElec preinstalled on internal EMMC. The manufacturer of this unit may be Jncota, but there doesn't seem to be anything special/unusual about it. The board inside is a common clone type.

I have found ArkOS for K36 to work on these using panel 5, and other available OS' for K36 and R36S clones may work too, but I don't guarantee compatibility of any particular alternate OS. Be prepared to experiment with it for best results.

The unit for sale is brand new and sealed, the one pictured is another from the same batch which should be identical.

NubSup Mini Game Fan

It's a game console AND a fan! Wow!?

The fan part is 3-speed, and, it's a fan! It blows air at you.

The game console part is a VT369 enhanced-Famiclone handheld with 39 games built in. Some of the games are VT369-native Cube Tech originals, some are unmodified standard NES/FC games.

Includes lanyard and USB charging cable. Battery is built-in.

I have 2 of these, they're basically new, have been tested, but the boxes have some damage.

£7.50 each [SOLD OUT]

Q5

Small pink famiclone handheld. "500" games built in, but 300 really.

Includes BL-5C battery, very short USB charging cable and the wrong instruction manual (it came like this).

Supports AV out and 2nd controller but does not come with the AV cable nor the controller. (But you can add on an AV cable, see below)

This was sold by Wellminds originally, it appears to be their in-house clone of the K5, which they also made the software for.

£5.00

AV cable for handhelds

2.5mm jack to composite video and mono audio. 3 metres long.

Compatible with Q5 and many other famiclones and other handheld consoles with composite video output.

£1.00

Game Stick Lite (M8-8001100 clone)

Clone of the popular Game Stick Lite M8 emulator stick, with a HiSilicon Hi3798MV100 SoC, 256MB RAM.

Connects to a TV via HDMI & emulates arcade, PS1, SNES, NES, MD, GBA, GB/GBC, Atari 2600/7800 games. Emulation is OK for the most part but there are no options apart from save states, everything is stretched to 16:9.

Comes with 2 wireless controllers and a USB receiver. Controllers are also compatible with PC and other devices. Also includes USB power cable and short HDMI extension.

64GB MicroSD card included with about 10,000 games preloaded. The MicroSD cards shipped with these devices were mostly defective, so I will replace the included card with a new one flashed with a verified-good image of the stock software.

The preloaded games cannot be easily modified & the SD card cannot be read by other devices, but you can add up to 1GB of your own games by connecting the stick to a computer via USB. Note that the included cable will not work for this, as it's only a power cable without the data pins connected! You will have to provide your own MicroUSB data cable for this functionality to work.

Retroarch-based custom firmware GStick OS is now available too! I have tested it boots on these sticks but make no other representations about its functionality.

Multiple available, basically new, boxes have some wear.
