I want to get one but i don’t want to wait 2 weeks or more amazon is selling the 2gb one i don’t mind spending $156 on it. I just want to know if it still run good with just the 2gb? Im looking to play every game possible in all emulators. I am new to all this retro handheld but I want to get a good one.
Thank you

I was dubious about ordering the 3+ direct but it arrived about 2 1/2 weeks after I technically preordered… so cannot grumble. It’s fine, just don’t expect any info until it actually ships. I paid extra for the dhl shipping as I’m in the UK so can’t vouch for the normal courier. I got free stuff too which was nice but probably due to the Covid delays… worth every penny and minute waiting. Used russ’ guide to setup and have no issues except I can’t get my head around MAME… but that’s on me
