      We got ours off Aliexpress (pretty sure all other sites are just dropshipped from there anyway)

      Technically they come with the full OS and all the games preloaded, but their SD cards are very shoddy and you run the risk of losing all your data if you use those

      Setting up a fresh SD Card took my husband about an hour for both of our consoles, so I guess it wasn’t too tricky

      Ali express (like Chinese Amazon, mostly direct from factories I think).

      They are always “on sale”, but the prices are usually 30-50 bucks.

      Here’s an example: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOcxZJq they come with thousands of games that for the most pretty just work. It a game doesn’t emulate well, like mario64 didn’t for me, I don’t know what you can do about it.

      Get the r36S - the S is faster or something.
