I'm not super critical of d-pads, but I found the ones in the Anbernic handhelds I've played with to be comfortable and good. I did see a product to fix accidental diagonals in the older Anbernic devices, tho I didn't notice this problem:
https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1458001 ... -by-better
I bought the "better shoulder buttons" he sells for the first Anbernic handheld I got for my brother.

The reviewers I watched when I was deciding which to get were Taki Udon, Retro Game Corps, ETA Prime & Wulff Den because they all seem to own every handheld from every manufacturer and they will compare every new one with their other models to let you know the Pro's and Cons in great detail.

Most of these devices can be upgraded with new operating systems to support more games than the stock firmware. The newest one I got, the 35xx Plus doesn't have a OS upgrade that can use the onboard 3D acceleration yet. No N64 or Dreamcast at any playable frame rate if you swap. Switching out OSes to test out another is as simple as replacing the Slot1 MicroSD card.

I should note that I bought 3 different handhelds recently; All were Anbernic and after maximizing the software on them, I gave them all to my brother. He loves these things so I buy him upgrades for birthdays and Christmas - mostly he likes that they're small and gameboy shaped. I use a bluetooth controller with my phone when gaming on-the-go. Also occasionally load up games on my GPD Win 2. If I were to buy a cheap handheld for my own use, i'd probably spend a bit more and get an Android-based one instead of the lower-powered Linux type.

The Linux ones are incredible mostly because of what they can do for the price.

So Doom is playable in a Persona game.

A real game is now canon in a fictional universe. Love it!

I mean, that’s a mod, right? So not actually canon in Persona, but definitely canon in the “Can it run Doom” universe.

Hey, if potatoes and LEGOs can run DOOM, why not Persona?

I'm not impressed unless it's a hotdog with two forks stuck in the opposing ends connected to a 12 volt battery.

Lol. Never thought I'd see the anakin/padme meme with golden axe characters.

At least in the Genesis version, you kind of need those death pits at the end. The final boss is a pain and you need all of your lives.

I went to videogamesnewyork today looking for something and saw this:

I was taken aback.

I’m too afraid to wonder the price on a CIB value pack one would cost. The value pack came with an 8GB memory card and a PS3 controller.
