Questions people actually ask
Does the handheld come with games?
It runs an open-source Linux gaming OS built for handhelds. Games load as files onto the MicroSD card, drag and drop from your computer, no software to install. There's a large open-source and homebrew scene making games specifically for these devices, and if you still have your old collection, tools exist to make your own backups. The device is yours, and so is what goes on it.
What can it actually play?
Everything from the 8-bit era through the 16-bit years to the first run at 3D. The R36S has dual analogue sticks for the later stuff. The M18 is built around a D-pad and buttons for everything before that.
How long does delivery take?
Orders are processed in 1 to 3 business days, then 7 to 21 business days for delivery. You get a tracking number by email the moment it ships.
Do the desks and chairs need assembly?
Yes, and it's the straightforward kind. Tools and instructions are in the box.
What if something arrives damaged?
Email us with your order number and a photo. If it's faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, we'll arrange a replacement or a full refund at no cost, usually without needing the item back.
