RetroGamer –
Great little retro-gaming console!
The looks are definitely on the strong side – your friends or significant other will have a hard time realizing that the small box under the TV is in reality a small gaming monster 😉
I really like the retro gaming image and how easy it is to bring my library to it!
Early Adopter Number One –
Great console for the price!
It runs retro titles like a champ! PSP emulation can be taxing in some heavy though, be sure to read about recommended settings.
The only reason for giving 4 instead of 5 is there are only 2 USB ports and one of them is bound to be used either for Bluetooth or wired controller. Quickly addressed with a USB hub though.

My experience with the unit thus far is quite minimal, but packaging, assembly, materials, fit/finish and first-start experience are all tops. The OS seems smooth and runs well, though the Sony/XMB-inspired UI/UX does make me a bit sad, haha.
Developer is beyond helpful, accessible, and friendly. Absolutely astounding on this front and is worth the 5-Star rating themselves, product aside.
I hope to turn this into a PiwiGo server box, so definitely not the intended usage, but the developer is encouraging and helpful so I can’t be happier with my purchase.
(I will absolutely try my DreamCast library on here, first though :D)
