Yeah, but I have to play the first one first, because I haven't played the first one. Oh, you haven't played the first one? No, I've got to get to it. Maybe the Pro is finally the reason to do it. Well, I bought it saying, well, I can offset it by selling my old one. I could probably get a good price on my old one. It's a fat model, but it has a disk drive, and it also has a 2TB upgrade in there.
So it's a decent PlayStation 5. I'll easily sell this to someone. So far, I've had no interest. So if anyone out there is looking for a PlayStation 5, To offset the cost of this ridiculous purchase that I absolutely did not need. I've been buying a few of these little, these are much cheaper, but these little, I told you I'm into retro gaming right now. Yeah. Oh, did you get the analog?

No, these little Ambernic. They're tiny little consoles. They look like they're about the size of a Game Boy. Okay. And I think they're running some kind of Android, you know, operating system.

No, I bought it off Amazon.
No, I bought it off Amazon.
So I'll bring it in next time. It's a tiny little console. It looks almost exactly like a Game Boy, but with a really high quality screen. Okay. And it ships from somewhere. Okay, so that's, yeah, I have the RG35, the one there, the purple looking one, that's the RG35XX Plus. And I have another one that's more, it's called the RG35XXH, which I also like.

And here's the thing about it that it's a bit dodgy, and I don't know how they get away with doing this. Timo AliExpress, fine. On Amazon, I don't know. That thing comes with a 64 gigabyte SD card built already in it. No way. That has 5,000 games on it. Castlevania.

Yeah. And I don't understand how they get away with it. But like... Gary, you might be snitching right now. Everybody knows. You might be snitching right now. Everybody knows. I replaced it with a card that has all my Commodore 64 and other games on it. It has a MAME emulator built into it. It's just so weird to me that I could be playing

like Chase HQ or Gauntlet or fucking Starblade or any of the games I used to enjoy that used to be these big, massive cabinets. And now every single one of those games that you couldn't dream of playing at home because the hardware was too hardcore is on a card this big. And it runs on a handheld the size of a Game Boy.

I'm still trying to figure it out because it's being, you know, it's all very... homebrew-y. But there's an emulator called RetroArch that will emulate almost anything. And the nice thing about these little, again, I paid 50 bucks for this thing, this little Anbernic. And it's got a really good quality screen.

And they'll often, when they talk about like putting games on there, they'll often make a point of saying like, well, obviously I can't tell you where to get the ROMs because, you know, that would be illegal, you know, and there's an area, you know, you're supposed to have, you know, you're supposed to have legally purchased these games before you'd like rip it onto a ROM.
